Fuck What You Heard

Sat, 07/25/2015 - 13:42 -- piabear

There is no light skin vs dark skin. Only brown skin between us.

To be proud of what society deems unacceptable is a cultural achievement.

To wake up and love yourself.

To view yourself as attractive.

To diffuse every negative comment with a smile.

To physically and mentally fight every day of your life.

Honored to wear to the skin I do. Honored to experience the things I wish to.

Keep your head up.

Black IS beautiful.

Fuck what you heard!
