Does not mean I’m from the hood.
I am not all about gangs and gun-violence,
And neither was Trayvon Martin.
See, he had not a single weapon
But still was shot dead because “self-defence”.

No, my favourite genres are not
exclusively hip-hop and R&B.
I’m am my own person.

and like who I like.
Amber Rose, a woman who is
extremely open about her being bisexual,

No, I’m not gonna flirt with you
just cuz you are a girl or a guy.
I like what I like.

Because I am a woman,
Does not mean I’m dumb.
Neither does it mean I’m incompetent.
Women are just as capable as men,
Whether it’s sports
or medical professions.
Elizabeth Blackwell. First female doctor.
Not nurse.
A doctor.

getting my hands dirty.
No, I can’t cook well
and I don’t enjoy gardening.

and getting my nails done.

Because I’m skinny/small,
Does not mean I’m anorexic
I am not afraid to pig out.
I enjoy food.
My body isn’t abnormal for its size
And me being small isn’t from a disease.
Lizzie Velasquez, a strong women
Was born with the inability to
