Though I talk about black struggles, I want to end the month on a positive note. I want to express my idea of black joy.
Black Joy is:
singing Lift Every Voice and Sing
seeing Black Love
laughing no matter what the situation
seeing black excellence in all facets of society
watching the First African American male being sworn in as President
watching the First African American female being sworn in as Vice President
reading ignorance and racism to FILTH
uniting as one at the voting polls
looking fresh and fly when we step on the scene
seeing Black Fathers love their children
smelling our food
dancing and showing our swag when our song comes on
honoring African Americans legends and heroes who came before us
acknowledging the diaspora of blackness in our world
wearing my hair in various ways
memorializing our resilience through history
living as me though it is hard
This is black joy to me.
Blissfully,
Bianca
