Black History Month is a chance to shout from the rooftops
that I am proud of my Black identity.
I’m proud of my culture.
I celebrate my community.
Being Black in America is so much more than just pain,
enduring injustice and long suffering.
That is a part of our story,
but it’s not the whole story.
I choose to spread light.
I choose to encourage.
I choose to find joy.
Because Black joy is a form of resistance.
