“I’m an Exquisite Black Queen! No man’s material possessions are worth more than ME. So, NO, I won’t stay just because he’s got a substantial amount of money, a luxurious home, properties, vehicles, expensive jewelry, etc. I will NOT disrespect myself by staying with a man that doesn’t genuinely value our relationship. Material things are just a bonus to me… I can’t and won’t be bought! Staying in a relationship with a man that cheats on me is NOT an option, PERIOD. Integrity, faithfulness, commitment, and respect are mandatory. I’m a Phenomenal Black Woman! I won’t settle for excuses or foul behavior.”

“Any man can buy a woman gifts, take her out for dinner, drinks, and a movie, take her on luxury vacations, treat her to spa days and shopping sprees, but here me out, Queens… It takes a special King to love his Queen properly. All of the things that I’ve listed above should be a bonus, NOT the main factor of your relationship. There’s nothing like being in a relationship with a man who’s FULLY committed to you. He’s an attentive man… He sees and hears you, he’s loving, respectful, supportive, faithful, and he appreciates you. His dedication to you is priceless!”

“Dear Black Women… I STRONGLY encourage you to start holding yourself accountable for the choices that you make when choosing a man. Stop being desperate for attention and easily flattered. Self-love sets the standard in how we allow others to treat us. Queens, you’ve got to value who YOU are. Work on your self-esteem and learn to GENUINELY love and respect yourself. Stop complaining about the men YOU keep choosing to entertain. It starts with YOU. Strive to be a Woman of substance so you can attract a Man of substance.”

“I am..." Who was I? Daughter, sister, wife, queen, composer,; these were the titles I had been given and claimed, but they were not the whole of me. They were not me, entire. I closed my eyes. "I am," I said slowly, "a girl with music in her soul. I am a sister, daughter, a friend, who fiercely protects those dear to her. I am a girl who loves strawberries, chocolate torte, songs in a minor key, moments stolen from chores, and childish games. I am short-tempered yet disciplined. I am self-indulgent, selfish, yet selfless. I am compassion and hatred and contradiction. I am... me.”

“Choose to live, Elisabeth. There's a fire within you; keep it alight. Feed that flame with music and seasons and chocolate torte and strawberries and your Grandmother's Gugelhopf. Let it grow with your love for your family. Let it be a beacon to set your heart by, so that you remain true to yourself." He stroked my cheek. "Do this, so that I remember you like this: fierce and full of life.”
