You cover me in dark hues and bright lights.
You enrich me with the likes of my ancestors golden brown tones.
I absorb the sun against this beautiful melanin.

Black girl magic is what they call the silky smooth brown that wraps me in faith and knowledge.
The sun gods call for there Kings and Queens to rise above the ashes of hate and despairity.
Melanin that what they call me.
