PREACH MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK QUEEN!! Got damm right, YOU ARE EVERYTHING!!!
as a black girl this is the most inspiring thing i have ever heard
“Everybody wants to be us!” Love this poem !!!!!!
Naii 2raww 🙌🏾🙌🏾🖤
❤❤❤❤❤
Downloaded this because watching it once wasn't enough. Literal chills.
And tears.
Why does this not have a lot of views this is beautiful
I feel such pride for my heritage watching this ❤️
Just remember, black is beauty
"Everybody wants to be us." This whole poem gives me chills every time
Thank you!! 🙏🏾🖤
This just made me proud of my melanin
There are all shades of skin, hair, and eyes in God's kingdom, and we will spend eternity in fellowship and glorifying God together. That's awesome to see how much God is blessing you, Candace! 😊☕️
I been tryna find the exact words so that I can use it as the opening of one of my short waiting’s but I cannot find it. Literally the best poem that I’ve heard in a longggg while. Almost had me in literal tears.
Literally brought me to tears
I felt this as i watched this episode #Youareverything!
I’m Dominican and my mom is a very white Dominican but I’m dark skin and when I was little all I could think about is how much I wanted to be white and not black but now it’s very different
I'm glad you love yourself now.
You are so beautiful.
I just saw this on the show and was so moved. Raw and beautiful and honest. Truly moving. I had to come find it UA-cam so I could watch it again.
Jennifer Lynch Thanks so much 🙏🏾🖤
I found this on tiktok watching a natural hair video and nearly died when the second I pressed search my Internet went out. Luckily it was out for just a split second. My room would be the room with the worst connection.
I felt every single word 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯✊🏾✊🏾
This is so beautiful. Every single woman is beautiful. Never let anyone make you think that’s not true. Especially because of the colour of your skin. Black Lives Matter and black women are stunning.
I once was the ugly duckling...but now I'm a beautiful black swam
God this makes me emotional
The chills I felt when I first saw this!
EVERYTHING!
yes Yes YES!!!!!!
Tears!!! And more tears! Just seeing this episode and I’ve rewinded 5 times and am constantly crying. This is fire!! I need a t shirt and a recording as a ringtone lol
I've balled about 3 times, because this is exactly what I needed to know as a kiddo. I'm speechless. More than beautiful...this is power.
This scene!! Ohhhhh this scene was EVERYTHING!!!
I’m over here in tears. I used to hate my skin thinking I was too black the whites would never want me but I’m too light so the blacks made fun of me but you’re right. I AM BEAUTIFUL! We all are. Every last shade of chocolate.
I’m in tears this is beautiful
I literally cried watching this. It is so beautiful, I cannot wait to share this with my daughter. I try every single day to remind her you are beautiful you are everything.
BLACK…GOLD
This is everything. I need to listen to this everyday for motivation
Sheesh! Beautiful ❤️
PERIOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!
JUST SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, SELF LOVE IS EVERYTHING VITAL FOR OUR SANITY, MAMA ALWAYS USE TO SAY THE BLACKER THE BERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE.
Goosebumps am not even just commenting
Love from east Africa continue the dark skin love ❤️
(Stands with teary eyes, giving applause🥹) 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wheeww yes sista! I felt this in my soul!♥️✊🏾🙌
Omg I felt every word she said 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾we are strong Queens 👸🏾
Beautiful! Powerful! Inspirational! True!! I 🖤 THIS.
I had to come find this after hearing it as background sound for a Bantu Knot tutorial. My soul haven't been spoken to like this since I saw Kai Davis "Fuck I Look Like" spoken word. This hits hard!
So much talent and chills knowing this is true. I have to keep looking at myself in the mirror and reminding myself as a teenage black girl
Tali W aww I love it! Yes mamas... keep looking in that mirror and telling yourself “I AM BEAUTIFUL” because you ARE!!! 🖤👑
@@CANDACENICHOLASLIPPMAN thanks you inspire me to continue to write my own poetry and to continue speaking up for my life as a black girl and that other blacks MATTER 🖤
@@CANDACENICHOLASLIPPMAN what's your advice for poems and spoken word poetry?
Tali W Hey Tali! I actually teach a poetry writing class for teens! Give this link to your parents: theatricum.com/teen-poetry/ and have them sign you up! Classes begin 9/21 💕
Sorry y’all. Had to come back at 7:00 to watch it again lol these beautiful women are the embodiment of what it means to be a beautiful black role model in this community I’ll never be over it
Just watched this episode. This scene was everything and more!❤️🔥🔥
InAnother Life 🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
@@CANDACENICHOLASLIPPMAN is there a written script to this?
this is probably one of the best moments of the whole series, what a beauty
From the words, the stomps, the passion, the focus, the attire, the conviction. Like I don't even know how it's hard to love us at this point. I need to attend one course on "why we hate them so much and how to make it feel real."
Yaaaaaasssssss Queen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 this poem is absolutely amazing...Well done 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
i loved this so much. You blew me away!!!
Preachhhh. Woeeeeee I'm a sweet chocolate black girl
I love this ugh 😩🥰
Keep on standing up for us...God bless you guys.
Mercy Lawd!!! Yes, dawtah, YES!!!
Yassss!
If this is not one of the greatest poems I’ve ever seen, then I don’t know what is.
✊🏿❤️
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾🖤
@@CANDACENICHOLASLIPPMAN my absolute pleasure
❤️❤️❤️
Growing up as a kid
I hated my dark skin
And if i could be transparent
Even now as a grown woman
I have to
Constantly reprogram my thinking
Years of being told
I was not the standard for beauty
But see, that, was a lie
Which is why i chose
To rewrite my own narrative
DEAR BLACK GIRL
We are warriors
Who’s spirits can’t be crushed
Who speak up when told we’re too much
We forgive when our black men dismiss
Degrade and can’t see that we are not
The ugly ducklings but
The swan princess
The Nubian goddess
The reflection of our ancestors
The made in his image
When society tries to pin
Light versus dark skin
We remind them that
Every shade of chocolate
Is divinely crafted
#BlackGirlMagic is more than a hash tag
It is a movement a statement
Like Maxine Waters
Claiming our power
Moving through this world
Unapologetically degree holding
With our heads held high
Melanin moisturized
Big hips thick thighs
Hair free and natural
Or wrapped in a protective style
Dear black girl
You better recognize
We are the Trail Blazers
Everybody wants to be us
So to all my sisters
As we continue this process
Of loving our skin
Start with this
Look at yourself in the mirror
This is me
The chocolate beauty
Deserving and saying
I am queen
Dear black girl know
That you, YOU ARE EVERYTHING
LCH XO these are my words yes!!! “YOU ARE EVERYTHING!!” 🙌🏾👑🖤

Omg...wow... this needs more views 🙌🏽 I want to collaborate and write with yall because as a poet and someone who grew up in the Deep South, a gay black man in a society and household that often made me feel less than... I can relate in some way. Colorism is a fight beyond racism. I have made it my mission to truly uplift black women in all shades "beautiful bold and bronze crowned in black gold"! ❤️
Maya Angelou is my greatest influence and whether it be song, spoken word or a poem... I truly believe your passion could bring life to my words 🙏🏽
This was so fire bro I had to pause on several moments. It caught me so off guard too lol
I wish I knew this growing up
The 🍫 Beauty

Love this ! 😀 ❤️
When I was younger I always said I wanted to marry a white man not saying there’s anything wrong with that but I said it because I was ashamed of being black I use to wish my skin was light and I always straightened my hair damn near damaging it, when I went to school with braids I felt embarrassed around the other white kids and I still feel this every now and then. I was in a relationship with a white guy and I always felt like “why was he with me? A black girl”. It’s not rare that black girls feel this way, and that’s crazy I don’t think other races truly understand how African Americans especially black women feel/felt on the inside out themselves
I love this so much, thank you
YOU ARE E V E R Y T H I N G
Sending this one to my niece she writes ✍ a lot of poetry maybe this will encourage her to post some videos
wow! incredible!
I had to come find this. It’s needed
The two people that disliked it was Karen and Trump 💀😂

Amen to 1:10!!!! People need to wake up and realize that we might have different skin color BUT we all bleed the same color blood and were all made by the same father God!!!! #DearBlackGirl #AllRaceIsMyFamily #Godbless🙏💜
