Black is Beautiful

Oh, how beautiful it is to be Black, 

although “the land of the free” placed targets

on our backs

we prevail, lift our heads to the sky

This skin we are in 

so adored, one cannot deny 

sun-kissed, likes it’s golden 

beauty in every tone shined. 

Not a day goes by 

where Blackness isn’t idolized 

because we just so fresh & so

damn fly!

Your beauty within outshining any strife. 

YOU are a testament to the power of Black life!

Hello there! I’m Nala :) I am a second year, majoring in Architecture with a minor in Dance. My works are a reflection of my journey as a young Black woman, told through a mixture of art and design mediums. Along with this, my creations are a way of sharing the stories that have and continue to shape me into who i am today.
