SISTAS

To all my brown skin beauties,
who felt they weren't light enough,smart enough, loved enough.
You are beautiful! you are a reflection of  all things possible, reminder of the struggle, and a hope for the future
I'm not giving up on you.
You are my "SISTA"
Don't let the wickedness of the world take away your goodness, your consciousness, your self awareness.
That beauty runs deep
within the walls of a malnourished heart.
It is a pure and rare treasure that is all bountiful.
Focus on that melanin

 I am rare, I am a product of my environment, the best that comes from it.
that melanin in your skin is priceless
they tan, but still cant acquire it.
Imagine knowingly putting your life at risk, to obtain a color that you fear the most.
Ironic isn't it?

Look at that power you possess in the palm of your hand, its yours just hold on to it.
Don't let the stereotypes of many, transpose in your mind

You are beautiful, you are intelligent, you are capable, and strong willed.
You are the possessor of success, love, courage, and wisdom
You are the descendant of ebony features, a prized commodity, a force to acknowledge
Sit upon that thrown and rule accordingly
