With Mercury out of retrograde, Aisha was free to follow the destiny presented in her
sunscope.

Slowly she admired her brown Asiatic skin in the mirror, tracing what the western world dubbed "stretchmarks" but she knew to be memoirs of personal growth. The Dr. Bronners baths plus Bikini Butter from Whipped Goods made her exterior earth shell glisten.

The intercom buzzed. Nervously she felt her heart skip a beat but calmed herself and her chakras. She would not let his male privilege overrule her regal heritage. Tonight would be about love making and the union of souls. She would ALLOW him to leave fingerprints on the window of her soul.

Her Brooklyn brownstone smelled not unlike the tomb of the Goddess Mut, thanks to the combination of nag champa and patchouli which she had used to smudge her earthly residence after completing an article for clutch magazine on the need for more Fem.C.s

Again the intercom buzzed. His impatience was showing as he couldn't wait. Probably from living in a world dominated by men. Tonight tho, she called the shots.

Slipping into an light tunic she had thriftied, she momentarily considered putting on panties.

But why? Why restrict her unshaved mother of civilization under a toxic mix of polyester and cotton.

No, tonight she would be nude, naked and natural. Tonight she would.........BE.

Shunning makeup she made a final check of her residence.

Lambskin condoms? Check.

Handstitched crotched garters? Check.

A photo of a young haile selassie to help her reach "there"? Check.

She was ready.

"Ashe, I love you. I accept you. Universe, allow me and my womb to accept tonight"

Tiptoeing in her rainbow footy socks as not to wake her 5 other roommates, she opened the door.

She was ready.

http://www.oprah.com/own-super-soul-sunday/IndiaArie-I-Didnt-Lighten-My-Skin-Video


quote:

“What I wanted was to have gold skin. If you see, the dress is gold fabric, it’s metallic fabric, and the backdrop is metallic. I just wanted for it to glow and be luminous, not light, luminous. For me, there’s that conversation where women’s bodies are just unpacked for entertainment. Bikini body, postbaby body, mom boobs and all the stuff that they say. For me it was stepping out there and allowing myself to be beautiful and sensual and powerful and strong and athletic and womanly and all that stuff and just letting it be seen. Showing some skin. Showing my thigh muscles. That was my intention. I wasn’t trying to look light, I was trying to look luminous.”

She went on to discuss the lighting during the shoot and how it was set up to create the “luminous” look she was going for. And truth? She seemed incredibly genuine and at peace with every word she said, especially when addressing colorism in the Black community:

“…The colorism conversation- this is my prayer – what I would love to see happen is that I find the perfect words or the perfect song to sing or to say to people that will heal a big part of this conversation in the black community, because really, it’s about self-worth.”
