A Black Woman's Anthem
I am a melanin woman.
I am born with the pride of a people who have survived
unimaginable adversities. I have the tenacious spirit of my ancestors upon me
to continue their legacy of strength, perseverance and integrity.
I am endowed with brown skin kissed and cherished by the
sun.
I have been blessed with a body built to give birth to a
nation of warriors.
I have beautiful full lips to voice and sing the praises
of my Baba (Father) in Heaven.
I have a crown of hair that represents my heritage of a
lineage that transcends time.
I have been graced with eyes that can envision the power
and royalty of the melanin man.
I am the half,
when joined with the melanin man to become the whole, a cohesive force to the
nucleus of the melanin family.
I have been given
the endurance to uplift the melanin man and child through adversity, racism and
pain.
I have the courage to fight to the death for the
protection, survival and stability of the melanin family.
I am one melanin woman connected to all melanin women.
It is our destiny.
It is our time.
It is our calling as the original WOMAN to take our place
as THE WOMEN, The Most High meant us to be!
