download

  1. I love my skin color.
    • I am on the lighter side, but I love the color I am. Growing up I always wanted to be darker, because that’s what I saw in my family and I got teased a lot. However, now I am happy with the shade of honey brown that I am.
  2. I love my culture.
    • Blacks have such a rich culture and it is unique depending on where you are from. Everyone does not share the same culture, but we share small similarities.
  3. I love my history.
    • We were not always slaves. We started as kings and kings and gods and goddesses. We are the original man. We are history!
  4. I love that we have been able to overcome so much adversity.
    • Everything that was designed to knock us down has made us stronger. We have overcome so much so much and we continue to grow.
  5. I love my brothers and sisters.
    • This is all that needs to be said. I love my black brothers and sister and want to see everybody succeed and accomplish their goals.
  6. I love my diversity.
    • Blacks all over the world look different. Black people in a small area look differently. We come in all shades, shapes, sizes, and uniqueness.
  7. I love my African features.
    • I love my wide nose, full lips and round hips. I love my kinky hair and my thick thighs. I love the things that whites used to make fun of us for, but now are paying big bucks to achieve.
