"From Girl to Princess to Queen to Goddess"
In today’s society unfortunately there are not many young girls and women that understand the meaning of self love and/or the power they hold as "women" nor do they know their worth. Most women do not think in terms of growth from girl to princess to queen to goddess. Women need to understand that we hold the seed of humanity and it is our responsibility as mothers to teach our daughters. Come join us as we welcome 2 time Poetry Slam Champion & Film writer "Bridget Gray" to discuss a woman’s “Self Love” and "Worth”.

MY LETTER TO HIP HOP (excerpt)
Dear Hip Hop,
I'm writing to inform you I'm going to have to end our relationship. I know in the beginning I was down to work my hips,but I was tricked. Seduced by your beat. You had me for three minutes and forty-six seconds I was suspended in time, but when I snapped out of it I had to ask "Did I hear what I thought I did in that last rhyme?" Now forgive me, maybe I'm getting old or maybe I'm just slow, but I didn't even know you could say "bitch" on the radio, yet I was entranced by your beat I heard somewhere before, oh, I remember that was the original score. Now unless I'm dreaming I could have swore, right after you called me a "bitch" you called someone else a whore, and at this point I'm trying to process a few things. What were the original words to that song and you want me to do WHAT with my thong? I'm trippin' cause nobody is acting like anything is wrong. After all the anthem for the new millennium was "big Pimpin". It all seems a bit surreal, when I was dancing I didn't know the damage my soul was going to feel. And there are times when I'm still compelled to move, but I swear it's the old school groove that plays above the lyrics, but if the music wasn't there I definitely wouldn't hear it! I thought Hip Hop was a way to poetically express yourself but it seems you'd say anything to get your C.D. off the shelf. So lets toast with champagne and blunts to your health but first tell me why, "Every other video, brotha gotta be a gigolo", and you show your respect by pouring beer for the homie who's dead. Then pour the rest of the forty over some females head. And what's crazier than that is she doesn't seem to mind. But if you look past her ass deep into her eyes you might find a hint of surprise, cause she didn't realize, the camera shot would be between her thighs. And she furthers the lie as she tries to deny pretending its okay. She just gave a piece of her self-esteem away, and it aired nine times on MTV today, and all that for little to no pay,but "He's a hustler baby and he told you so, and when he's through you're a video ho". And I'm trying to make it in this business so I've stood in those high heel shoes you know. Now when I go to the club I see a sea of young women with fake diamonds bouncing around their waist too little clothes on her body and too much make-up on her face singing, "Ondely, Ondely mommie E.I, E.I. uh ooh." Were you that ho? Was I that ho? Or do we all need to spiritually grow? Does anyone know what E.I E.I stands for anyway?...
