Hi There Young Black College Girl

Hi there young black college girl
College can be hard and can make your face crack
But YOU GOT THIS!
Have you chosen your major yet?
Hi there young black college girl
Are you still there, what major did you choose?
Pre Law, Math, Sociology perhaps Computer Science
Your parents must be stressing you to become a neuroscientist
Hi there young black college girl
Focus on your school work these boys can wait
Yes I’m talking about after you graduate
At this rate, it will take you almost four years to cross that stage right?
Hi there young black college girl
Put your mind and soul into it so you can create the person you are
Beautiful, Brown, and Highly Intelligent will bring you a lot of hate
Never be discouraged you have everything all right on your plate!

I Promise I am Not Done…

I promise I am not done…
I am not done with school
It is one of my rules to get my masters, will you?
I will pray to my pastor so that all this work will get done faster
I promise I am not done…
I get scared sometimes being the black sheep in my classes
I push my glasses far up the bridge of my nose to take a look at everything close
These white students can sometimes be gross, but I never get out of my character
I promise I am not done…
When in doubt I would go talk to my professor, advisor or perhaps the dean
They should not shock this is a PWI that I have attended right?
Racism and Sexism still exist but with just a minor twist
I promise I am not done…
I will survive these long night shifts doing homework or studying for a test
I will try my hardest to be the best
Just so I can give my parents a big fat kiss on the cheek.
And say I am a GEEK but I, sure enough, DID IT!

I Know I Am A Black Woman…..

I know I am a black woman…
It does not mean that I cannot be as smart as a man
It does not mean that I am not worth the job offer
It does not mean that I cannot be an overachiever
I know I am a black woman…
I can bring my all to the table and WOW you
I can make it my choice to learn everything and more
I can be a great co-worker
I know I am a black woman…
The color of my skin should NEVER decline my job position
My gender should NEVER have to be a choice for me to be hired or not
My talent is what should surprise you,
My GPA or Degree should be able to WOW you
I know I am a black woman…
I have every right to be mad if I get declined from a job due to my skin color or gender
I have every right to NEVER let any male co-workers shame me either is on my work or telling me I should not be here
I have every right to stand ten toes and never fall!
I know I am a black woman…
I will encourage other women of color to pursue their dream
I will make sure I succeed
I will… BE THE BEST ME I CAN BE!

 

Women In Tech: A Untold Poem

We know that it is already hard to be a woman in tech
To think us women in tech can be a total wreck
It is not as easy to get a job like every other career
We try to be so hard to fit in or adjust in the field
It seems like being a women in tech cannot go as right as it is for men
We may bend our back to become good at coding, data analyst, engineering, or even mathematics
We do not want to be slacks
Its something about these men, I guess they think we might crack
Are they scared that we can hack, cause that might be a big fact
But as women in tech, we rule!
Look at all the women we have discovered
They just want to uncover all other intelligent young black women
We can do anything we put our minds to and then we can celebrate
Even though we carry a lot of weight!
