Her voice is so beautiful to listen to! "Women are silly and emotional; if in fact you find a woman that is serious and emotionless, she is insane." Every word in this poem is simply lovely!
Woman. You are more than an angel. You are fire. Alive. Burning with the life force that keeps us silly and emotional and more sane than any man can refuse. For we are from a similar breed of magician. And your Top 10 was magic. Blessings sister!
Its refreshing to hear poems like this, as well as Joshua Bennett's version, that glorify black men and women, instead of us falling prey to Eurocentric ideologies and hating each other.
This got me really emotional. Her poem and the way she said it was so powerful. I looked at Joshua Bennett's 10 Things I Want To Say To A Black Woman and I liked it, but hers felt so much more real and raw and like...everything about women I admire and aspire to be like, passion, creativity, tenderness, intelligence, strength, wit and wisdom. I have so much love for her.
@@leilanirose3274 right that why I left her with a response ok Karen white people are something else why did she even have to comment if she is just going to compare
This woman's voice is my substitute for sitting by the ocean, breathing in the breeze whilst listening to the waves. It is truly the purest calm I can achieve and she has done this with words. Bless you. Namaste is not a strong enough blessing so the best I can do is say bless you and thank you. Between you, Sarah Kay, Harry Baker, Guante, and Sabrina Benaim I am steadily reminded of the good things in this world. Thank you all for what you do.
This is a story that reaches to the spirit of Black man, that reaches to the depth of his soul and tells him their is no him without that balance that only a Black woman can give. Wise up brothers the sistas are educating us.
This only has 26k views, uh uh something isnt right, this was beautfiful! Type in black man/white woman relationships or black woman/white man marriage and they pulling in ATLEAST 6 digit number views smh I love Black love, no matter how the media tries to brainwash me and other young people that interracial love is the way to go (there is nothing wrong with interracial
Thats the thing about the affect of art. Its effect on you was unexpexted. Some real artistic works can produce surprising reaction. Its like when i read Paul Gaugan's Polinesian "venus" described as a squat beauty. I just thought how could Someone say that. The description was right, but it was my perception that was in error, because while i could have appreciated squattness as personally attractive, I'd never before viewed it as venus like or widely beautiful.😊
Sister you are grace, beauty, and Queen. I do not use the word Queen loosely as everyone else because I know what it represents. U are a Queen because those words were royal and from the heart. Thanks for the vision and the love.
One thing that I want to tell the Black man. - I Love you. I love the skin (Especially the chocolate ones and the deep voice.) My Father was a Black man. He passed away when I was little. The little girl in me misses him so much.
"Women r silly & emotional. If u in fact find 1 that is serious & emotionless that woman is insane." Wow!...maybe askin for a woman that ain't crazy is asking for a woman that is a cold robot. I'm completely rethinking women now!

Great poetry from a great Sister Falu.

I have seen her perform this for over 5 years. Her voice intoxicates you and it never gets old.

Every black man had to have listened to this like it was a personal letter... like a crown around your head.
Wowww!!! Amazing, pure unadulterated love & longing in the midst of her words. Black men are truly magic, so are black women.
Her voice is enchanting

Her voice. I could fall asleep to it. Not in a bad way, but in a sort of, her voice sounds like a lullaby to the rain falling on a rooftop.
