I Love You

Little girl, writing poems about this cruel world,

I see you.

Telling tales of tragedy that most do not understand,

I feel you.

Brown girl, wanting to be brighter to be better,

I am you.

Own your struggle because

we are you.

Bruised and bent but never broken,

I applaud you.

Though your scars are not apparent

That does not make them any less real.

Stay strong for you,

Stay strong for me.

I love you,

I love you for your flaws.

I love you,

I love you for your strength.

I love you for the tears you cry deep in the night

Young woman, I see you.

I see you in your laugh,

I see you in your screams,

I see you in the lakes of sadness hidden in your eyes,

I see you.

Black girl, you are beautiful,

You are loved and you are cherished.

You are strength and you are divine,

You are everything that I would want to call mine.

Thanks for reading!

Hugs and kisses,

Denim Series: Denim on Denim

Hello Beautés,

Long time no fashion post. Today, I am showing you the first part of a two-part denim series that highlights me wearing denim in two different ways. I really enjoyed doing this look.  Do any of you remember when fashion rules said that we could only wear denim on denim if they were the same colour and style? Now we are breaking all the rules and I'm loving it! Let's jump right in :)

All My Fear

When the rain is falling 

steadily on my heart,

I look to you to keep from bawling 

but you forget to do your part.

Do you forget or do you refuse?

If you looked at the tears welled in my eyes

maybe, just maybe, you would stop this abuse

and put an end to these soul-crushing cries.

I want you to fill my heart and soul

the way I fill these pages with my words.

I want to be your most important goal, 

the one you will fight for through a thousand swords.

But I die in your arms, 

while you shed not even one tear 

and ring no loud alarms

as you make real, all my fear.

P.S: Check out my latest vlog here <3 

Hugs and kisses,

My Beauty Favourites (Requested)

Hey Beautés,

A while back someone requested that I share my beauty favourites. Instead of putting a video on my Youtube channel I decided to put it on here. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. You can also add me on snapchat (Queen_Exotica) if you like. 

  

Classics Never Fail

Hello lovelies, 

I want to welcome you all to my style and possibly beauty blog with this post on a classic look. For every person who considers themselves stylish, class is always the underlying thing. Classic pieces like a black dress or simple black pumps can go with almost any look and when paired together, they make an elegant outfit. I am no style expert but this blog will be my own world of fashion, style and hopefully, so much more. 

P.S, If you have any questions, feel free to email me at theafricanbeaute@gmail.com <3

Enjoy!
