Black Skin Quotes Quotes

“Black women have always been at the bottom of the human race. In that bottom of a pit, they were abused, misjudged, neglected, and unseen. In the end, there were two options left for them; to diminish and die, or to be strong and rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

Today, black women are using their strength to make an imprint of their existence. They are here to conquer the brutal neglect, injustice, hatred, mistreatment, and inequality.

Black women are saying: here we are in all our beauty, glory, strength, and assertiveness. See us. Know us. Recognise us. Give us what we're worth. Above all else, respect us.”

“Because I'm a Black Woman:
They don't see me;
They don't believe me;
They don't give me a fair trial;
They don't give me a fair pay.

Because I'm a Black Woman:
They ridicule my appearance;
They don't protect my existence;
They hate my assertiveness;
They disobey my leadership.

Because I'm a Black Woman:
I bear the hardest experiences;
I receive the most harmful lessons;
I hear the harshest words;
I wake up immersed in swords, to survive,
and only to repeat the same for a lifetime.”

Do you not see someone who was once a victim of the past but who has emerged as a survivor — as your forefathers did? Do you not see the same colour of your skin? Do you not see the same texture of your hair? Alright. Since you are looking at your reflection, how would you like to treat yourself?”

“How can you not appreciate the beauty in your black skin?
Why do you misjudge its value?
Your skin neither cracks nor burns underneath the sun.
Your skin compliments its rays; and in its heat, you stun.
It is in your skin that the sun gets to reflect the strength of its rays.
Have you noticed how your black skin glows in the sunny days?

You ought to glorify the uniqueness of your black skin;
because black skin neither cracks nor wrinkles at the touch of the soil.
With a kiss of dust, your skin amplifies.
In fact, your skin is the original seed in the gods' eyes.
Even the day adorns your black skin as its beautiful lace;
while the night wears it as its face.
Maybe the air is mesmirised by your scent;
because your black skin represents nature in its essence.”
