melanated kings and queens
beautiful in all our forms and shades
be proud, be bold, be unapologetic
we are more than we are given credit for
more than the talents others profit from and utilize for their own benefits
we are bomb ass mothers and fathers, with a love so fierce it knows no bounds
we are who they aspire to be
we are doctors and lawyers, activists and inventors
we are presidents and vice presidents
we are everything we aspire to be and anything we set our minds to
we are artists and entrepreneurs, directors and musicians
we have been put down and belittled and yet here we stand
we are phenomenal
melanated queens and kings
overcoming and raising the bar and breaking bounds
we are strength embodied
exalted in excellence
we are proud, we are bold, we are unapologetic
we are
black history made and in the making
