Herstory by Imani Weeks

It was never about us 
Us girls that dreamed to be something 
Dreaming of a fairytale, wearing bright colors, and playing with dolls 
People saw us as nothing.

It was never about us
Nobody pushed us to further our education
To change the world for the better
We fought against discrimination 
We went unnoticed 
 
Because it was never about us
Jobs didn't come as easy 
Promotions didn't come by being the best 
Working hard didn't matter
We were seen as weak, emotional and domestic
It need to start being about us
