A Poem for Black Women

Black women The sisters, the mothers the queens, the aunties, the grandmas that make bomb greens The speakers of truth, the givers of life, the backbone of everything, and too often sufferers of strife The overlooked, undervalued, underpaid The ignored, and forcibly self made The foundation of families, businesses, and movements, the creators of great works, and the improvements The educators, liberators, the curse breakers, and trailblazers Resilient May we honor, respect, protect, celebrate and liberate the Black woman Black Women are Brilliant
