by Ogarama Goodness
We are meek,
Yet proud.
We are humble,
Despite how much we earn.
We take pride in our heritage;
Our cultures and values we hold in high esteem.
Our culture is our identity;
Our values, our worth.
Our heritage defines us,
Our thick hair, our crowning glory.
African Women,
We are proudly African.
