I am beautiful. I am black. I am wonderful. I am black. And although I may not be the color of the night sky And although my hair may be finer And although perhaps my nose is thinner, I am no less black than you. I am black. I am black down to my soul. I have shared with you the pains of OUR ancestors. And although you call me names, And although you say that I am not as black as you, I am still black. Black like you.And if you don't believe me, look into my eyes and you will see OUR struggle. And you will see OUR pain. And if you study my back and feet, you will see the weight of many years upon my shoulders. And if you reach into the back of your mind, you will recall us, together in Africa, Holding hands, running, playing, laughing, being one, being ourselves, being black.Do you believe me now? Do you see what I am talking about? Even though I am yellow, Even though I am not physically like you, We were sisters. We were together, in OUR homeland. We are black. together. Although my fine dark brothers may not call me their Nubian Queen, I am. Because I too am black. When the outside does not matter, My black heart shines through. My black mind is ready to learn. My black soul is thriving; Trying to prove my blackness, to you, my fellow black sister. And all the while is should not be necessary.So you see, I am black. I am beautifull. I am black. Just like you.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.� Maya Angelou quote
