In my own skin, Black and beautiful For an African child I am, proud of my roots. My skin, burnt and scorched, Scares visible, for untold stories they represent. Living In a society where girls fail to embrace who they are, because of the color of there skin. Chocolate dark brown, black women I proudly am, A warrior , queen and healer... How different would the world be if black women knew there strength. If I where reborn, I'd desire to be black. Indoni ya'Manzi... Proudly Black and Beautiful.
