FOR MY SISTAS
This one is for my sisters My black women Who stand strong And never give in Remember that you are one of a kind And that our type of beauty is divine No need to dissolve those curls The curls link us to one another No need to be like the other girls We are… Continue reading FOR MY SISTAS
