Did you get that from us?

The body positive movement.

Calling your curly hair natural.

Boogie. And manyyyyy more words we utter.

The desire for larger eyes, lips, booties and hips. The obsession with fake tan skin that is acceptably orange to you but those same features on my people are labeled “undesirable.”

The use of braids, locs, fros as trendy statements for a fashion runway shown on white models but frowned upon in the corporate world if worn by my siblings.

How much longer must we have our appearances, creations, and contributions stolen for you to realize it’s wrong?
