Black Lives Matter



Embrace black because black stands for shade, respite and covering.
Black makes anything phenomenal.
Black makes anything  exceptional.
Yes you want anything to be great mix it with black.
Black stands for strength, courage, tenacity and endurance.
Black can be stretched without breaking and smothered without cracking.
Black will heal when oppressed and rise up when beaten down.
Black stands for longevity, black stands for the continuation of humanity.
Black is resilient it can’t be extinguished.
Black is excellent it can be distinguished.
Love your black because black is forever.
Black is life and black lives matter.
