Too loud, too dark, too light,too bright, so mean, wears weave these stereotypes are suppose to define me? Being black is one of the hardest thing to be in todays society. But being a black girl is a whole Nother thing. At a very young age I learned that being a black girl could potentially be a very honorable thing, but growing up I see that it has turned into dishonor and slow self esteem. Youre either expected to grow up and change the world ... become one of the black queens like Oprah Winfrey. Or you become bitter, hateful, and rot . Sit around with five kids and STILL do absolutely nothing and have the audacity to say yo baby daddy is the reason youre unhappy.. See naw that aint me. I want to make a difference, no not globally but locally. I dont need someone promoting me to make a difference in the community. I want people to look at me and know I have high self esteem, and dignity. My gender, race, and skin tone, cannot, should not, and will not define me. Nor should it inhibit the opportunities and jobs I receive . I dont want to be to be described as one of these stereotypes . I want to be a queen. But in order to have the same opportunities the white girls receive, I have to work harder, talk proper, dress neat, and be sweet. If not, youll continue to be seen as one of the black girls with five kids who STILL sit around and do nothing and says her baby daddys the reason shes unhappy.
