Black Minds Matter

By Andrea Chipiri

Hey black child do you know who you are, what you want to be and what you should learn?

Our ancestors are probably turning in the graves for no one is noticing our strength due to our pigment...

I matter 

you matter....black minds matter...

I see a colorful future

skin doesn't define any human

every shade is beautifully made 

powerful and vibrant

There is so much strength in you and me 

World! Stop refereeing us from victory...

I matter

You matter

Black minds matter...
