BLACK GIRLS ROCK!

By Patrick S. Duncan
 

Black Girls Rock DIVERSITY,
in their hair, walk, talk, and style of dress.
Black Girls Rock diversity the best.
Black Girls Rock KNOWLEDGE,
from the streets of the ghettos to the most prestigious College.
Black Girls Rock PRIDE,
not afraid to swallow it,
in order to make strides.
Black Girls Rock VULNERABILITY,
sharing their life stories to help form unity.
Black Girls Rock SPIRITUALITY,
wise enough to know that it can change their reality.
Black Girls Rock their ROOTS,
whether it’s African attire, dreadlocks, corn rolls, or Corporate business suits.
Black Girls Rock MOTHERHOOD,
teaching their children that GOD is always good.
BLACK GIRLS ROCK!
