Being Black Quotes Quotes

“Because I'm a Black Woman:
They don't see me;
They don't believe me;
They don't give me a fair trial;
They don't give me a fair pay.

Because I'm a Black Woman:
They ridicule my appearance;
They don't protect my existence;
They hate my assertiveness;
They disobey my leadership.

Because I'm a Black Woman:
I bear the hardest experiences;
I receive the most harmful lessons;
I hear the harshest words;
I wake up immersed in swords, to survive,
and only to repeat the same for a lifetime.”

“How can you not appreciate the beauty in your black skin?
Why do you misjudge its value?
Your skin neither cracks nor burns underneath the sun.
Your skin compliments its rays; and in its heat, you stun.
It is in your skin that the sun gets to reflect the strength of its rays.
Have you noticed how your black skin glows in the sunny days?

You ought to glorify the uniqueness of your black skin;
because black skin neither cracks nor wrinkles at the touch of the soil.
With a kiss of dust, your skin amplifies.
In fact, your skin is the original seed in the gods' eyes.
Even the day adorns your black skin as its beautiful lace;
while the night wears it as its face.
Maybe the air is mesmirised by your scent;
because your black skin represents nature in its essence.”
