This is My Story

This poem was inspired by the pictures shown of "Powerful images of black people in 2020" during one of the workshops. What I found interesting about the photos was that only one aspect of black power was displayed, which was how black people unite to protest. Although we display power in this area, I feel as if we are display power in so many other ways. We are powerful in our daily lives, whether we overcome our own personal battles or we fight to bring positive change within our family or when our loved ones are sacrificing and working hard just to give us a better life.

I am in my fourth year currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Anatomy and Cell Biology. Although my career path will lead me into the Dental Industry, I am also interested in visual arts. I love to paint and draw. I've also found a new love for written and spoken word poetry. I also love dancing! I guess you can say that I love using forms of art to express myself!
