Be Proudly Black.


"Put down the bleach, Your skin is not dirt that needs to be cleaned out, You are comprised of sienna,chestnut & Warm mahogany. Dark as the night sky,constellations are Tucked neatly underneath your bones. Your skin reminiscent of the hot chocolate That warms winter nights. Like rings around a tree stump,you too have History etched into your melanin. Don’t let the glaring whiteness,blind you from the beauty that you are" !! Poetess Dee
