They tried to tell you your biggest organ
Wasn’t light enough
They tried to whitewash your gods
And made it difficult to recognize the
Devine in us
They tried to tell you,
you are not objective enough for science
And sometimes that turned in to silence
But I see myself surrounded by woke woman
That are starting to see
That those lies burn down in the face of our legacy
I am surrounded by strong black woman
Who are no longer killing their hair
and whitening their biggest organ
I am surrounded by healers,
Cause it was a black woman who
Told me,
You find your forehead to big
Can’t you see it shaped like all those queens in Kemet?
I am surrounded by queens that know their worth
Queens that carry their soul not under their arms but in their hearts
I see you Re:thinking politics,
Dipsausing radio
Decolonizing museums,
And every step you take
Brings your daughters and nieces and sisters
Back to the core of their being
I salute each and every one of you
I see you
And I love you
