Me.


I am black. 

Not only am I black but I am confident

I'm confident with the color of my skin

Not only am I black but I am proud 

I'm proud of my Nigerian roots

Not only am I black but I'm faithful

I have faith that God will supply all my needs

Not only am I black but I'm determined

Determined to break all stereotypes

Not only am I black but I am hopeful

Hopeful for the future and what it has to offer

Not only am I black but I am confident, proud, faithful, determined, and hopeful

I am not black. I am me
