Don't clasify me as anything but what I am.
I’m a brown woman!
No!  I’m a ‘black’ woman!
Or so they say.
I wonder, every other day…
how am I ‘black’
when my skin is brown?
How am I African,
when I was born American?
I wasn’t born a color.
I wasn’t born a race.
I was born a woman!
I was born a human!
So, don’t classify me
as something I am not.
I am a woman!
I am a human!
