Get inspired today black child, for the world we live in is against you. Your own are against you. The skin you wear is the same skin that puts you down. It’s hard out there, but I say wear it black child. Prove to your own and others that people with melanin are able to be great, greater than our wildest imaginations.

Black must be written boldly and screamed out because black is never silent, black should not be side-lined. You should not be side-lined or silenced. Black is beauty, including all the flaws that come with it.

Remember a black person is your own whether miles apart or borders apart. Our colour should never be set apart. Play your part and recognise your own for what it’s worth. We are gold.
