How to use brilliance in a sentence?
Brilliance is typically the act of an individual, but incredible stupidity can usually be traced to an organization.
In the kingdom of self love, I reign as an unapologetic black king, Adorned in the aesthetics of my truth. Let them speak, let them roar: their insults are mere echoes in the grandeur of my existence. What they say will fade, for i am the architect of my own narrative, where confidence is my crown, and acceptance is my throne. There is nothing they can do to dim the brilliance of my royal spirit

If you do not get the brilliance you expect from the sun during daytime, wait for the moonlight for your glitter to scatter.
