Dear young black women you are strong, dear young black women you are not alone

We come in all shades we are not defined, dear young black womenwe will shine

The texture of our hair nappy, straight, or permed, we are black women that we have learned

No matter what we will embrace our skin, we fought for our rights and if we had too we would do it again.

Dear young black women I call your name, no matter the shade of skin, texture of hair,

or where you come from, we are all the same.
