I Am

I am Woman

Fashioned from his rib,

Yet carried his greatness inside me.

I am Woman

I am Black

Skin like soot, mocked and ridiculed,

Yet stronger, richer, in culture and beauty.

I am Black

I am Africa

‘Home of the monkeys’ they say,

Yet find their wealth beneath my soils.

I am Africa

And you who questioned me

Who are you?
