Black Beauty

Hey there, I am me. Me am I. A black beauty am I. The sun smiled at my body and turned my skin into its own little chocolate factory. Several shades of a dazzling dark complexion. A black beauty am me. As I walk, the view of my curves captivates the attention of all those looking on. Wow they say, damn isn't she fine. A black beauty am I. People often underestimate my potential but they don't know that there's more to me than meets the eye. My intelligence allows my voice to be heard because I excel at everything I do. A black beauty am me. A warrior, a fighter, a lover and a friend. I am a black beauty who believes in the power of sisterhood to uplift rather than tear down; to encourage rather than discourage; to dream rather than to fight. Not only am I beautifully black but I am me and me am I...Black beauty....
