Sometimes

Sometimes, when I get off the train downtown and walk up the marble steps to my big, giant skyscraper office building.... I feel just like this. There's a thrill. Wanting to throw my hat in the air.

Sometimes, I feel just like this- warrior princess. Raised by wolves.
Kind of like my favorite thing I ever learned in four semesters of Swahili class:

Binti wa Simba ni simba pia.
The daughter of the Lion is also a lion.

Want to know a secret?
My mom and I are getting that proverb as a tat.
