Black Queen Manifesto
DEAR BLACK QUEENS,
- BLACK QUEENS DO NOT DISDAIN YOUR BEAUTIFUL BROWN SKIN BUT LEARN TO LOVE THE MELANIN WITHIN.
- BLACK QUEENS NEVER FORGET TO NOURISH YOUR HAIR AND WEAR IT WITH PRIDE NO MATTER HOW YOU GOT IT.
- BLACK QUEENS REFUSE TO ACCEPT DISRESPECT FROM A BROTHA, FOR WE ARE THE REASONS THEY EXIST.
- BLACK QUEENS DO NOT FEAR THE STRUGGLES OF GOING AU NATURALE. THOSE CURLS AND COILS ARE THE ESSENTIAL MATERIALS THAT CREATE YOUR ETHEREAL CROWN.
- BLACK QUEENS NEVER SHY AWAY FROM BEING LOUD, UNAPOLOGETICALLY.
- BLACK QUEENS DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOUR LIPS, COLOR AND HIPS LOOK BETTER ON A KARDASHIAN OR A JENNER.
- BLACK QUEENS DO NOT FEEL DETERED. ALTHOUGH THIS WOLD IS AGAINST US IN MANY WAYS, WE NEVER LET IT TEAR US DOWN.
- BLACK QUEENS YOU AREN'T BITTER BECAUSE YOU ARE ALONE. INSTEAD, YOU ARE BRILLIANT BECAUSE YOU ARE I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEAN?
- BLACK QUEEN REMEMBER TO CHECK THOSE WHO THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN CALL YOU A HOE, THOT, OR A BITCH BECAUSE YOU REJECT THEM.
- BLACK QUEENS ALWAYS SUPPORT EACH OTHER. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS GOT YOU LIKE A SISTAH.
WITH LOVE,
A SISTAH LIKE YOU
