I am not black 
I am beautiful 
I am strong ,
I am history
I am where I belong 


I am not black 
I am aware 
I am phenomenal 
I am DOPE
I am spiritual.... 

And in spirituality
Black represents evil,
darkness, night, and despair.
It's the color used to convey certainty 
and authority 
and when used in opposition with white, it's a symbol of the eternal struggle between day and night, 
good and evil, and wrong & right...

See no , I am not black 
I am light , that flicker in the night ...
& Even tho I was conveyed of MY roots
I HAVE to FIGHT 
from not allowing my days to turn into night , 
ALL WHILE STILL having to teach my sonS politically wrong from right. 

I am not black ! 
I am a queen , 
an empress , 
A gorilla 
a savage ass muthafucka Ina dress

I AM NOT BLACK! 

I am BROWN !!
I AM SOFt !!!
I AM LOVE
Let me give you a break down

I AM EARTHA KITT in my mind 
I AM BADU in my soul
I AM MS Hill in my heart
I AM not black , 
I am GOLD.....

I am the sweetest tabu....
The on & on when you feel like you can't
I am the juicest of fruits , 
 shout out to my roots!!! 

I am the world....

i am brown 
& brown is seen as solid,
much like the earth, 
and it's a color often associated with resilience, dependability, 
security, 
and safety.

&& that's what. I. am. 

I. Am. Not. Black.
