It could be observed that as a woman of color in America, there is space for me to have a complex relationship with being perceived or identified as strong. Actually, I had recent experience with someone referring to me as strong and I notice resistance to receiving what was intended to be a compliment. Noticing my thoughts and feelings within that interaction, I realized that I wanted to attend to my relationship with the word strong. That experience was about 3 months ago and since then, I have practice mindfulness around how I connect with feeling strong and exuding strength. In my current emotional space, I feel strong when I am attentive to self, my personal emotional experiences, and how this impacts relationship interactions, interpersonal included. It is my belief that self awareness and self care can require a tremendous level of mental and emotional strength.
