Does my blackness offend you? When I ask you this, I am not referring to the color of my skin. When I ask, "Does my BLACKNESS offend you?" I am referring to my history, my culture, my lived experience and my ability to rise after being beat down with oppression!
I take pride in all of my components. I cannot be intimidated, I cannot be undermined and I will not be moved. I stand firm in who I am and will not allow anyone to write the narrative for me. Again I ask you...Does my Blackness offend you?
