To the women for the reason of my radiance 

To the women who had sleepless nights so I can run into the sunset 

To the women whose experiences became a pathway to my teenage years 

To the woman who had me at 15 and did a good damn job 

To my grandmother who traveled from the islands to give us an opportunity 

To my aunts who are my second mothers but are also my forever best friends 

Because of you, I am me 

Because of pieces of you, I created a better version of me 

To the women I love 

You deserve the absolute best 

You’re doing enough 

I see you

And I love you 

– Sincerely Jayy
