Fierce is she?
Indeed she is.
Her curls wrap around her head like
a bouquet of wildflowers on a beautiful summer day.
She has bounce with every step she takes,
it’s no mistake who’s boss.
The scent of raw coconut and mango turns every head in the room,
filling the air with a tropical storm.
Her hair shines under the light like glitter on a disco ball,
shooting dance waves through her body.
Look at those hips go!
So radiant from the nappy roots to the tip of her Afro.
So bold for being big and beautiful.
Fearless is she of the controversy she may cause.
It’s her hair!
A gift from the heavens above,
It’s what makes her who she is—Unapologetic!
Gracefully an Afro Latina,
She shouts with pride!
“I am my hair and my hair is She.”
