Black Women

African Queens are what comes to mind when I
think of Black Women.
Why? You ask.
Because that's the truth.
If "black" is socially constructed as we know It
then what were we before it?
That's right..
You got it.

Beautiful African Queens.
From Africa- Stolen.
Forced to America [absolutely] not by choice.

Beauty is in their roots
Dedication is in their spirit
And the ability to stay strong is constantly
repeated through their minds.
And their commitment is shown through their actions.

There is no woman like the African woman for,
She is truly one of a kind.
Behind her eyes
looking from the inside out
She sees this.

There is no woman like me for,
I am a Beautiful African Queen.
