Yes! I am dark skinned and I am proud.
I glance at the mirror and see the most beautiful
creature I have ever seen in my life.
So what?
Yes, I am not as slim as you’re.
I love myself the way I am.
So why are you bullying me?
Why call me names?
I am scared for yourself.
You are not forced to love me.
Why call me “fatty boom boom”?
‘My name is Precious’
Can’t you see how beautiful I am?
This scars on my face and body
demonstrate my braveness and agony.
You wouldn’t have survived what I went through.
So what? If I’m fat and dark skinned?
