Now, I Wear Yellow
Oct 27, 2022
A Black woman in yellow!
A star on the street.
A dark, Black woman yellow?
Stop to stare and say, “saaaaaawweeeeeeeet”
A Black woman in yellow!
A color match made to meet.
For years, I shyed away from a closet of anything yellow. I didn’t want to draw anymore attention to the hue of my skin so I hid behind neutral tones, greys, and blacks. Until a friend in college told me how my skin glowed in yellow.
Now I jump to wear yellow for the little girl afraid to.
A dark Black woman in yellow is a dauntless act of allowing two colors meant for one another to meet as much as they can.
A Black woman in yellow!
Like sweet music from a swinging band.
