Black And Beautiful

by Nae Nae, San Diego 

What makes me who I am is my beauty. My ability to make my friends laugh and make ‘em feel good about themselves. The reason why I chose beauty is because I think it’s great to be happy inside and outside of my skin. I value this because back in the day, we as black people used to get beat because of our color and our level of smartness.

But we as black people are still pretty which is why I chose my beauty. I also really enjoy how I’m able to make my friends laugh and cheer them up when they fee mad, sad, etc. That’s because I’m able to do it naturally so they just laugh easily. And they seem to enjoy my company. 

At times it also makes me happy to see my friends happy. Honestly, I got my friends’ back, period. I also enjoy how my friends can enjoy themselves when they’re around me. I see how happy it makes them and me. We also enjoy our conversations we have. Basically, I’m saying we like to spend a lot of quality time together which is amazing as friends.
