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?
