I love this lady, Miss Ebony soooooo much. She always steps behind a microphone and educate while entertaining me. I love everything about her, her poems and this was no difference… Continue rising Queen 👑🖤

[@Alliebaba7782]

Thank you so much for sharing your truth with us. I feel honored to have heard it. Being a white woman i know there are many things i will never experience and i just want to thank you for telling me about these things. I hope that i can be lifted out a place of ignorance into a place of understanding. Youre strength and vulnerability, your beauty and truth are completely awe inspiring.

Thank you Ms. Stewart. Facts on top of facts. I was so happy when I learned about colorism back in 2018. Finally I was able to put a name to the act that has always existed in my life and in the world around me.
