Who am I? I have asked this question of myself many times and have gotten varying answers depending on where I was at that particular point in my life. It wasn't until I had an awakening and finally discovered who I really am. The "true" me. So the question still remains "Who Am I".... First and foremost I am a child of the most high, I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a grand-daughter, an aunt, a friend, a lover, a fighter, a nurturer, a teacher, a creator, a diva. I am an experience, a force of nature, a beauty in my own right, a confident woman. I am sensitive, kind, passionate, strong, lovable, cocky, expressive, naive, sarcastic, fun, vibrant.... the list is endless.

This is who I am at 31 and will continue to be until I take my last breath. I pray that I continue to grow and evolve into the woman that I am destined to be. There are times that I wish I could be someone else or am not necessarily happy with where I am. But I know that this is where I need to be, at this time, in order to fulfill my purpose in life. It has taken tears, prayers, trial/tribulations, time, laughter and love to become who I am today. I would not change any experiences that I have had, for they enriched my life and given me insight into my own self. I continue to embrace who I am for this is all that I have, love who I am as I cannot love others without loving myself and nurture who I am as it will foster the woman who ultimately want to be.

I am Latiya.

Who are you?
