How novel that the color of skin is not interchangeable.
I pivoted in today’s world because it comes unapologetically.
I find harmony among humanity, draped in many hues.
Today Is my day I want to bask in being a woman of color. No second guesses, no hesitations. Just comfortable in my own skin.
These are my happiest moments. Love the skin I am in. Love the woman I have become. Love the journeys I have yet to take.
Color is not a disadvantage but a strength and a gift to the world.
Find the rainbow!
Beautifully written with confidence!
I see and feel the celebration of color in your voice and in your spirit.
Keep the beauty flowing in verse and in the words painting pictures.
Great message. I rejoice that you experienced a joyful awakening.
Absolutely beautiful! You’ve captured something so meaningful to us all as women of color.
Thank you so much for sharing!
