There’s no shame in being Black; Black is one of the first colors that artists decided to use in art and their masterpieces; Black is a color that can be mixed with other colors to enhance and change them; Black is the combination of all other colors and races including white and being without color; Black is versatile, accommodating, flexible, rewarding, necessary, and enduring
Author Denise P. Isaac was drawn in and was able to empathize with the “Black Lives Matter” movement. She took pen in hand and captured her emotions for the world to see. Hoping to influence the generations of young people by speaking the truth about who they really are, Denise, has written a brilliant book of poetry called BLACK, tailored to Empower, Encourage, Inspire, Educate, Uplift and Enlighten Black children for a lifetime, BLACK is a tool that belongs in every home in America.
Much of Denise’s poetry is based on the real life struggles and negative encounters experienced by Black children and their families, and Denise has voiced it in a way that gives hope, vibrancy, clarity and realism to those who listen, read and shout out loud…“I AM BLACK, PROUD AND AMAZING!”
According to Tony Rose, NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Literature, “Sometimes Imamu Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, and James Baldwin appear as spirits to guide us. Today, they have appeared in the form of a Black woman named Denise P. Isaac. Run to it. Get it. Read her brilliant book of poetry. “BLACK” is the new language of hope for America!”
Rose believes in the power of BLACK and the spoken word and feels that Denise’s daily affirmations will confirm the value of Black youths so they can know who they are, overcome their obstacles and gain positive values and purpose for their journey through life;
I am Black, Proud and Amazing
I am a winner and not a loser
I am smart, very intelligent and not dumb
I am a hard worker and not lazy
I have an excellent spirit and everything I do is done in an excellent way
I will live a life of decency and respect
I am a leader and not a follower that strives for Greatness
