"Our black is so beautiful and can not not be described by just one option."

Written by Dear Black Woman Denitra

Dear Black Woman,

This affirmation goes to all of my melanated sisters-- from my beautiful light skinned "Ginas" to my beautiful brown sisters who are the darkest of the hues.

Our black is so beautiful and can not not be described by just one option.
— Denitra

To us sisters with the politically correct names to the ones who will never be able to find their name on a keychain.

To my "baby got back" sisters to my "cant tell me nothing slim thick" chicks.

Our black is so beautiful and cannot be described by just one option.

From the words of Viola Davis "you are smart, you are kind and you are important".

You always have to work harder and be smarter than the rest. At work and in life, being firm in your belief, does not make you a bitch. It is ok to say no.

Keep being unapologetic; be bold and never dim your light. Push through your doubts and fears. You got this! When times get tough, remember, you are a queen, fix your crown and keep pushing.
