She is that bitch. She's been that bitch and will forever be that bitch.

To Be Me
By Charlané Powell

To walk through life looking out of these brown eyes
To grow and shine in this brown skin
They don’t see my intelligence

Though they see this melanin
Education is deeper than the bare minimum
deeper than some can let embrace them
They hate when I learn

don’t want me to grow
I’ve learned what matters

It's more than they show
What brings me peace is the knowledge I seek
When I need to be heard i’m going to speak

What floats in the sea is no comparison to me

I am a black woman

I am a black queen

Someone that sings

Someone that dreams
Someone that I will proudly be

I am a woman

I am black queen
I am an intelligent human being

Charlané is that Beautiful Bitch.
