This is the inciting event
The beginning of a new chapter
The beginning of a new adventure
When I embraced who I am
Every defining factor
I no longer shy'd away
From my black girl magic
This book might intimidate
Or make someone with
Less understanding
Boil over
But this isn't for them
It's for my black people
Who struggle everyday
With racism
Both inside and out
This is for my girls and women
Who fight against the patriarchy
And their own self loathing
This is for my black girls
Who feel unseen
Unheard
And overlooked
I see you
I hear you
I know you

Stay safe,
