Your love….is strength,
Truth

Black women of the
world,I Here declare

The poem is a way to empower black women. Throughout history Black women have been belittle and never treated equal to other women. This poem shows Black women that they are notice and appreciate for all the little things and the big things they do. Black women are known for their unconditional love because even when they are treated bad in a relationship they will stay because they love their man even if he does have imperfections and she would like for her children to grow up with a father figure. They put their loved ones before them and will protect and care them with everything they have. Throughout history this has been proven, Harriet Tubman she escaped slavery and returned to the plantations to help other slaves escape. She was a humanitarian and cared for her people and but her life on the line so hey could have a life. The women that stood next to their husbands during the in Civil Rights movement. And many other woman. Black women are taught to be strong and independent, and that is why they are such powerful beautiful beings. It is hard to be a woman in America, as we are not treated fairly, but being a BLACK woman makes that task two times harder.

This is why they have to grow thick skin to be able to turn the other cheek if necessary or to stand up and speak what is on her mind. This poem is short but to the point. It carries a strong message to the Black women. And I hope that when a women is going through hard times they remember that they are appreciated for what they do. Black women come in all shades and sizes but they all have something in common they are what holds the black community together.
