I get compliments on my eyes often. People call me “Black Beauty”. I say beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. The fact that I am included in the definition of beautiful and I have black skin means we have come a long way in who is and who isn’t included in the definition of beautiful. The fact that people say “Ayesha is beautiful” makes me happy. The fact that I feel beautiful and see myself that way is beyond words. I don’t wish my skin color was light or white. I feel like a black beauty. I realize what I never knew before I entered my 30s about beauty, being desired or desireable and being me.
I’m proof that black is beautiful.
