She cut, she bled, she cut, she bled, she cut, she bled, she healed, she healed, she healed, she healed, she healed. Like brown skin girls must do. Girl, this is so strong. I love your spirit and talent.

The feeling of validation in the black community is very much needed, because the black community never asks for help when depression and other mental issues have acquired, because we are taught to help ourselves! No Prozac no Xanax No counseling....But because of our black skin we stand strong and cry behind brick walls and don't tell all....We suffer through it.....That's why the slaves song black songs of gospel and encouragement because that's all we knew while picking cotting and being labeled as nothing because of our brown skin! What black power magic we have shown other races!! But right now, I must say if you need help behind the strong black skin that you are in don't be afraid to seek it! I love my race and have dedicated my life to move foward!! Beautiful poem, Ms.Jae❤

I had an eating disorder at age 13 and my grandmother said: "black people don't get eating disorders." I understand. Tell it. We are survivors.

[@nabila7628]

I hope you are okay now

"Able to carry the household on your head and siblings on your back..." How true. Our siblings are basically our children when our parents won't be there one day.... as for the household... chores, cleaning and cooking is what we are taught from the average of 13. At least in South Africa

[@thevalentines6522]

Amazing and so true. "SHE HEALED..... SHE HEALED. LIKE brown skinned girls must do" that line spoke to my soul.

I'm not black in the color of my skin, but I've got the black painted passion in my bones, the passion black people have in their veins. I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE, I WANTED TO SAY YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED LADIES AND MEN 💕❤️💕
