This is my body
Small and petite
Mixed black and Puerto rican girl .
‘’Chica mixta negra y puertorriqueña.’’
In this city north philly
Small skinny girl ‘she so skinny she can fly away
From head down to my feet.
I talk very sweet and like
to dress neat, nice heels and fancy dress
This is my body
hello shanelle, i am very intrigued with your quote because your race does not not define your worth it my be your identity but it is something that you are identified by. I am very surprised you choose the word “skinny” why?, because you used that word as something that represents you and that is true but sometimes words like those hurt and damage a lot of people. You used where you stay at as a part of your identity and i think that is good because of course that represents you and is your identity it is who you are and where you were raised.
