they believe it will be great,

but sadly soon their dreams come crashing down,

after a while, all begin to frown.

she respects herself and the way she is,

appreciating her culture and he beliefs,

she works for what she believes in and what she wants and needs.

her mother working many jobs to help only just pay for college,

she was a role model for all African Americans during the Harlem Renaissance,

she never stopped being who she knew she could be,
