Can You Write Something for Me?

In honor of Black History Month and Love Day, today's episode is a poem entitled Can You Write Something for Me? Often, black girls are portrayed in ways that feel alien to us. This poem encapsulates the idea that we get to decide what is written about us. Write our truth, not yours, when you write about us. Write the whole truth, not the pretty parts or the ones that make you feel comfortable about history. Write something for me. Enjoy!
