Maybe it's the way I can silence a room with my expanded vocabulary and my educational value.
Is it the stoicism that I possess to overcome the face of adversity?
Maybe it's the way I can be board room dominant, and then be as mothering as Nefertiti.
All I know is that I love the way my head is always held high, and I walk tall and carry myself with such grace and elegance.
Is it the curve of my smile?
Maybe it's the way my hair naturally bounces with the twist of every coil.
Is it the way my body is just a natural road map with service road curves?
Maybe it's the strength of my child bearing hips, and the natural breasts I was born with.
Have you ever looked up to the sun and saw it shining so bright?
Or maybe you've looked at the stars at night and have seen the beautiful glistening glow.
Those qualities are a product of me and all of my sisters.
We stand together, we dance together and we push through for one another is remarkable.
Our beautiful buttery smooth skin
The way the sun glistens down on all that soft brown melanin.
The way our beautiful full lips continue to speak such words of importance in the world.
It's the love I have for our male counterparts, and the strength they exude to protect us and keep us safe.
It's the way we connect with others through traditions, customs, greek lettered organizations, and the list goes on and on.
It's the way my cocoa butter scented skin, and my coconut oil scented hair continue to dominate in everything we do.
It's the fact that we were told to hate these features that now everyone wants to imitate.
I am the Black woman.
I am powerful, determined, strong, educated, sexy and though you may now think that my culture, and my skin tone are in style
Baby, I've always been in style...I'm not a trend that fades in and out.
I am the Black woman, and I love me.
