Shine Beauty Culture’s month long celebration of National Poetry Month ends with a poem by 17 year old, High School Junior, Briana Jackson. Briana’s poem was inspired by the charity work she does with her mother, Lanitra K. Jackson, founder of Beauty-in-a-Purse (BIAP) a platform that globally promotes uplifting support by sharing resources to raise awarenessfor women impacted by homelessness, domestic violence, and incarceration.

The charity uplifts the spirits of women with the Power of the Purse. Purses filled with toiletries, beauty products and inspirational literature not only provide physical beauty but it helps to give self-esteem, confidence, and anunparalleled sense of normalcy to women in their transition to greatness.

Celebrate the conclusion of Poetry Month, with this outstanding poem about the perseverance of women!

Stand In The Valley

By Briana Jackson

Every woman possesses an aura of beauty

An atmosphere of enlightenment

A feeling of grace

Every woman has a longing for love

A yearn for affection

To fill that empty space

Every woman comes to terms with obstacles

Crossroads of confusion

Paths of defeat

But not every woman possess strength

Not every woman can get knocked down

And stand back to her feet.
