It is not a tragedy to be black. It is not a tragedy to be a woman. It is not a tragedy to be me.

Whitey On The Moon by Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron, a singer, poet, and author, created numerous spoken-word works addressing social, political, and economic issues in the United States. In his 1970 poem “Whitey on the Moon,” he highlights racial and economic inequalities by contrasting the 1969 moon landing with the harsh realities faced by African Americans in cities such as New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles.

We don’t talk enough about the importance of having a personality that is so rooted in yourself that the exterior world is unable to change you. It’s so easy to allow ourselves to get influenced and carried away by what everyone else is doing that we forget to take a step back and think if how we’re acting is actually in alignment with our core self. Going back to basics and being yourself to the fullest without feeling the pressure to conform and be just like everyone else is one of the most freeing experiences one can have.

So many people always try to destroy her natural beauty and to define her sexuality and now they are doing everything to be like her.... Damn fools will never learn that you don't try to destroy the woman who gave your stupid ass life.... I will always celebrate Black African and Black Indigenous Women globally.
