'Great Quotes To Inspire'

*My Black Is Beautiful*

'From the colour of my skin,
to the texture of my hair,
to the length of my strands,
to the breadth of my smile

To the stride of my gait,
to the span of my arms,
to the depth of my bosom,
to the curve of my hips,
to the glow of my skin...

My Black is Beautiful.

It cannot be denied.
It will not be contained.
And only I will define it.
For when I look in my mirror,
my very soul cries out,

My Black is Beautiful.

And so today,
speak it out loud,
unabashedly,
I declare it anew.

My Black is Beautiful.

Whether celebrated,
imitated, exploited or denigrated.
Whether natural from inside
or skilfully applied.

My Black is Beautiful.

To my daughters,
my sisters, my nieces,
my cousins, my colleagues
and my friends,
I speak for us all when I say again,

My Black Is Beautiful'
