I am NOT angry, loud or insecure
My body is not the only thing I can bring to the table.
I do not depend on the government to support me financially
My father was active in my life
I graduated from high school without a child
I speak proper English
No I am not named after a car
And majority of the males in my family are not in prison.
No grape soda is not my favorite
And there's no Kool Aid in my refrigerator
Fried chicken is not eaten in my house everyday
And weave is not needed in order for me to "slay"
You asked me who I am so I'm telling you this
I AM an African American women
I AM NOT A STATISTIC
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
