¨Something can be both violent and delicate at the same time, sometimes the beauty is in its darkness, even if you don't see it, it doesn't mean it isn't there


“Your Pretty for a black girl”

Is not a compliment 

“Is that your real hair”

Is not your business 

“Can I do your hair”

No It's not your toy 

I Hope 

I hope one day i'm not scared to get “that call” every time my father goes out 

I hope one day people won’t see my skin as something that they need to fear 

I hope one day I wont get denied a job because of my  hair 

I hope one day we will have justice and peace, Not Death and Tears 

All of Us 

All White People aren't school shooters

All Black people aren't drug dealers   

All white parents aren't Alcoholics 

All Black parents aren’t deadbeat 

If A few of us do something it doesn't mean we are all destined to do the same 

I'm tired 

Tired of seeing us on the news 

Tired of being looked over 

Tired of being used 

Manifestation

We got  justice 

We got  justice 

We got  justice 

We have peace 

We have  peace 

We have  peace 

We are equal 

We are equal 

We are equal 

Truth

Black is Beautiful 

Black is Strong 

Black is Powerful 

Black is History 


I am Black….. I am History

I decided to do this Poem to spread awareness for African American Culture, also for Black History Month.
