Beautiful... "the way the moon gets jealous when you mock her crescent figure with the shape of your mouth. Queen, you make the sky insecure." *swoons*
I cried! Most Black woman are emotionally drained from the various issues we must face on a day to day basis. From the blatant lies of our history to the losing our confused Black men to woman who look nothing like us, all to show, that we aren't good enough but we will continue to persevere. It's in our DNA!
I'm sorry but, I refuse to restrict love to similarities in skin color or else I've betrayed myself & am no longer worthy of it from anyone, just because he can find beauty in another who shares no physical similarities with me in no way diminishes my own beauty, I'm just not not that insecure or neurotic
Joshua Bennett youre amazing thank you for reminding me as a black woman how beautiful and strong i am. For the white woman that tried to redirect this poem to white women stating whats wrong with white women; you just answered your own question... Allow us black women to enjoy admiration by our men without you feeling excluded from a bond(culture) that you will never understand even if you birth a black man kid(s). Take a sit and enjoy the message...
you needed this corny ass to remind you of that? wtf...you need to get the entire seasons of a different world and living single and start feeling yourself...wise words from 2018
This made me feel so good about myself... In a world where we get put down on a daily, this was refreshing to know someone believes in our beauty, THANK YOU.
What muscles and well tailored suits are to other women, that’s what WORDS are to me. I'm a "speak WELL to me and you’ll win my heart" typer girl. Joshua Bennett, thank you for this beautiful love letter, for reminding me how much of a simple girl I am and always will be...
No you need to earn respect you don't get respect by default just because you are a woman and the way you women acting you don't respect yourselves let alone the man respect, many other black women has corrupted our culture and created this s*** culture and passing on to the younger women with this narcissistic feminist woman is movement that kept the black movement down because of their own selfish grievous needs by coinciding with the government the biggest traitors in history is the so-called African American woman hands down ❗
We need so much more art like this uplifting colored women, I watched this some months ago and today it popped up in my mind again. This poem is so impacting its crazy.
I just heard a poem called 10 things I need to say to a black woman. I just have no word's to describe how I felt after word's. Truly amazing is this piece and every man woman and blaclk child need's to take a Listen.I lost it somewhere on fb so I don't kno who the author is.
Me and my mother don’t speak much these days but this always makes me remember what she sacrificed to bring me here. Makes me remember when we were more correspondent. I miss those days
wish other young black men thought the way he does, beautiful words man!! he's truly talented, if i wasn't in south africa i'd definitely go see his poetry live!!
I found this video in my junior year of high school. I'm now 23. I have lost count how many times this poem has been the words I have never figured out what to say to my female friends in situations I have no knowledge in. Thank you for that.
This poem makes my heart smile; If you're a girl you should be honored to be a woman after hearing this poem & if you're a guy you should make you girl feel like this today
This poem is life; it speaks volumes and screams truth. The passion behind these words can cause the blind to see and the deaf to hear. It's amazing. I pray that God continues to bless u with words of truth that inspire greatness. ♡
LOL SPOT ON SISTER!!! THAT'S THE MAIN THING WRONG WITH OUR OPPRESSORS IS THEIR INNATE ENVY OF US. AND NO WONDER IT WAS THEIR FATHER SATAN'S INNATE JEALOUSY OF GOD WHO IS BLACK THAT GOT HIM KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN...
It is moments like these that I realize that SPOKEN WORD is still alive and still touches peoples souls. Keep doing what your doing!!!! May God continue to bless you young man.
