A poem by Maya Angelou inspires and reminds me not to second myself. 

Below are the poem content, namely “Phenomenal Woman” from And Still I Rise:

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size  

But when I start to tell them,

They think I’m telling lies.

I say,

It’s in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,  

The stride of my step,  

The curl of my lips.  

I’m a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,  

That’s me.
