Strong Black Women
Momma, Grandma, Aunties and Great Aunties
And all the others that came before you and me
Thank you for shaping me
Obama, Biles, Copeland, Queen Bey
And all the others that came before you and me
Thank you for shaping my ideology
Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Coretta Scott King
And all the others that stood and fought like thee
Thank you for shaping the strength in me
Angelou, Brooks, Chin, and Giovanni
And all the others string words so eloquently
Thank you for shaping my poetry
Strong black women in history
Though underrepresented in books you live in me
So I thank, thank you, for mentoring me
