I am Black | NATALIE - PURSUE:INSPIRE

As it's Black History Month here in the UK, I sat down and thought about what it means to be a part of this beautiful race which can be hidden in the background. I hope the words you are about to read uplift and empower.

I am black. I am beautiful.

I am brought to life by God's light. 

I am nappy. I am powerful.

My being is filled with many wonders.

I am love. I am big lips.

My words assert authority.

I am intelligence. I am big hips.

My potential to birth something special is imminent.

I am black. I am heritage.

Respect my culture and uniqueness.

I am strong. I am shrinkage.

My ability to grow is not to be overlooked.

I am music. I am vibrance.

See my colours and sounds intertwine.

I am dance. I am confidence.

My actions speak a thousand words.

I am black. I shall not lack.

I am brainstorming. I am amazing.

I am creative. I am innovative.

I am wealth. I am health.

I am nature. I am Africa.

I am melanin. I am Caribbean.

I am universal. I am essential.

I am Gold. I am whole.

I am black.
