I am black beauty. Black is beautiful. I am learning to love the skin I’m in. I know being black there are certain things that go along with that and one of those things is racism and discrimination. I feel like black is the thing for me to be. One thing that I can say is as a black woman I have a very secure identity. I know opinions differ on the subject but I feel good when people say “Ayesha you’re a good writer.” I have dreamed of becoming a writer for a long time. I studied creative writing in college. I know I am a strong person. When I was a child I got teased a lot because of my dark complexion. I know how things like skin tone and color being something people make a big deal about but self acceptance has been a God send to me in my 30s. I feel comfortable being myself now!
I know I am beautiful just the way I am.
