This mantra might work…
I refuse to succumb to words: that
doubt my goodness
discredit my work
Ignore my contributions
Insult my intelligence
Mock my innocence
Taunt my actions
Question my worth
I know what I am made of
And so I will not leave it to others
To sculpt me into their unfulfilled choices
With their sharp shaping words.
When everything I do will invite comments
I will make the choice I have
To not respond to it all
And to be the person I know to be. Me.
Living in Grace 
YOU are the WORLD.
