Melanin

I love my Black skin.

I love hat it remembers how to greet the Sun, even when they don't meet for most of the years.

I love the red undertones, a nod to the solidarity with which my Native ancestors stood by my African ones.

This darkness that envelops me is

Strength

Knowledge

Perseverance

Determination

Survival

Love

Pride

Power.
