Who inspires you to be you? Have you ever meet someone who just made you love yourself a little bit more? Even though I have never physically meet Lauryn Hill, I truly feel a connection with her. She is a living gem. The knowledge this women posse on self-love, God and believing in your dreams is remarkable. Today, I stumbled upon a speech Lauryn gave to a few high school students almost 15 years ago. At 25, she spoke as someone twice her age. I wanted to share this video with you all because the words she spoke almost 15 years ago, are still so powerful and relevant today. As I watched this video, I started to jot down things that she said and this one particular point she made, inspired me to wrote a poem. “Who I am, has nothing to do with what you see”. – Lauryn Hill
Where do you live?
My body is my address
This is where I live
Who I am has nothing to do with what I wear or what you see
Who I truly am cannot be seen
It can only be felt through the spirit.
My body is my home
It shields my soul
It is the keeper of my spirit
It is where I live
- Jasmine Hill
