You are different, embrace it

You are who you are for a reason and nothing should ever make you think otherwise

"All of this makes me wonder if a black girl's life is only about being stitched back together and coming undone, being stitched back together and coming undone. I wonder if there's ever a way for a girl like me to feel whole"

" Why must we all conceal What we think, how we feel? Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else for all time When will my reflection show Who I am inside? "

Reflection lyrics © Walt Disney Music Company, Wonderland Music Company Inc

[theblackgirl]

You are like that. You are a different person at home than you are at school. You are ashamed of your hair, skin and accent because the people around you make you feel uncomfortable to be yourself. So, you have started to avoid yourself and hide your identity whenever you leave home. Your front door is a portal to another world. A world where you cannot be you. A world where you will be judged for talking differently. A world that doesn't like who you are. A world that allowed the cruel waves of hate come surfing towards you, until it resembles a tsunami. Your reflection in the mirror never reflected who you really are inside.

"Queen so divine from the holy land Darker than a berry, that's that melanin Like a Goddess with the history Of beauty and strength, yeah, that's all me Nation for all my roots Suck a melon from the sweetest fruits Royal blood running through my veins So, don't you forget I was made this way" Black Girl Magic by Empire

[theblackgirl]

Life is not easy, but having an identity is all we young people have to show who we really are. We will be broken from time to time but we will heal, we will become stronger than we ever were before.

I am black by design

I am black to give me courage

I am black to give myself hope

"Don't be afraid of the way you shine. Caramel skin, you're one of a kind" Black Girl Magic by Empire

"I'm proud to say it, I'm from the motherland

Nappy head, yeah, it ain't so bad

'Cause now they want the braids and the dreadlocks

Paying money just to get the curves that I've got"
