To a Dark Skinned Black Woman




Dear Dark Skinned Black Women,
Here is why I think you're the most beautiful women on earth..

Your confidence.
You walk with the strength that centuries of pain has blessed you with, yet with the refined grace of dynasties past. A
nd when you laugh, the stars align and sparkle along your face.

Your beautiful dark skin. Beautifully smooth, warm, pure, tempting....yeah tempting! 
Everyone loves chocolate...

And original...THE original!
I love us dark skinned black women! 
But I hate the way some of us blaspheme the original... wish it were watered down, bleached out....eased up...erased  

Blaque is the personification of all things life: strength, tone, beauty...

Touch Black in your mind, is it giving you chills yet?
Touch Caramel?
Touch White?
Touch Red?
Touch Yellow?

Not quite the same, is it?

Pay no attention to MTV and BET if they don't pay any attention to you.

Pay attention to the ones who see the kiss of Queens upon you.
Pay attention to the first woman, who was dark as the still of the night and as beautiful as the view into heaven itself.

And nothing's changed.
You're still that beautiful women.
And, I just wanted to remind you of that....remind us of that...

Every other women is just a reproduction of you!
