But now that I have, i think it’s important to say that I fear a lot of people may have missed the point. From the e-mails, fb messages and responses i got, I feel like a lot of people focused on the persinality rather than the message. And that saddens me.

In writing this, I was seeking to be courageous, I just wanted to tell the truth. And the only way I could tell that truth (without coming off as judgmental) was by sharing my own story. The essence of what I’m trying to share is far greater than I (or my courage) could ever be. So please search for that essance and read THAT.

That being said though, thank you for recieveing my truth (me) with such warmth and love. You make it eaiser to release the secrets of my words into the worlds.

Bless

As much as I desire to recite an epic to that regard, the crux of your piece saddens me dearly. I have always viewed you as a strong lady and to an extent saw the definition of African Woman Confidence in you. What occurred to you makes me depressed thinking of what our ‘ordinary’ sisters are going through. I cannot imagine the courage you had to build to publish such a tragedy and I will forever respect you more for that. Please Let this not cloud your perception about man, nor prohibit you from associating, trusting and loving someday for I truly believe that your ideal ‘BEE gentleman’ is awaiting a lady of your calibre. Hope, Faith, Love.
