You are beautiful…
For a black girl…
You are funny…
For a black girl…
You are smart…
For a black girl…
I am just a girl…
Who happens to be black…
Who is learning to love the skin she’s in…
Despite what…
Tv…
“Friends”…
Social media…
Men…
Tell her…
So when you compliment me…
Leave the “for a” out of it…
And when you see me…
Just…
SEE…ME…

Love it! Billions of people in the world and we have to conform to one body image, one form of beauty.
