🫰🏾🫰🏾🫰🏾🫰🏾
I Love this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In tears pissed tf off goddess.. ... Sincerely Intellectually a mad Black woman.... June 2024... ✌🏾🤞🏾✊🏾✊🏾👑👑❤️👑👑
Everything is everyone else’s fault. Victim hood is strong with this one.

@@hnycrsps2658 where does it say slam poetry is about blacks talking themselves up as perpetual victims?
Snapping my fingers like hell right now yesssssssssssssss queen yessssssssssss
literal chills.
amazing!!!❤
I’m upset too, sister preach my strong black sister
Wow, this gave me immense chills
This is so amazing I wish I would have been seen this? Where is she today? Is she still alive and free?
Facts on facts!!!! SWISH!!!!
STILLLLL INLOVEEEEE WITH THIS POEM❤
I had this in my poetry playlist years now. My brother was killed 5 years ago💔💔 this hits different now . He was only 15
This is incredible. I had a friend link me to this and this is the best slam poetry I’ve ever seen.
2:41 she aint gotta worry about rape tho 😂😂
"I'm mad" that this poem resonated so loudly, it has me shedding tears at work.
Amen.
Who's watching this in 2024? 8 years in and still sooo good!!
YES!!!
Thank you for the amazing gift of words if I could meet you I would bow down and wipe my hair with your feet finally something that's not just a song with just as magnificently the equivalent of words creating the context of communication and you nailed it on the head the nails in the head of the cough and a really creation and I'm a little tipsy right now getting ready to have that I found found you and me and your words speak my truth and it's amazing how to do what you hear what you've heard and what you listen to can go through you please and these words are my truth what I've lived through I smile through eyes that have tears behind them beating and broken but still alive to say thank you and it's not even enough but say thank you thank you thank you.. . Natasha shawnique
I googled angry black woman expecting memes but I found this deep enlightening video. Pure art, rthymn and knowledge.
Everytime I'm angry at the world, I view this woman's opinion on the world. She pours emotion into every line, lovely :)
I connect with this poem on so many levels. Why is it so f*cking hard to be a Black woman in America?
This is my favorite poem ever, I come here every year to remind myself of what a good poem looks like😭
I thought you needed to go on safari to see a real live hippo
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I used to love this poem back when I was a girl. Now that I’m a woman, I find myself being mad everyday at every damn thing. My people, other people, the education system, politics, etc. Like I’m irritated and tired.
This is genuinely one of the most empowering pieces of writing that I have ever listened to. I watched this for my African American and Diaspora Studies course this semester and I keep coming back to it. Chills every single time.
No one cares
This is soooo good!! Shes so talented!
3 minutes ahead will never get back. Wasting her time and breath
She is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruh you look like a man
If slam poetry didn’t exist the world would be so much better holy shit this shit is gay 😂
Yes me like dat.
LOL THE VICTIM MINDSET MY GOODNESS YOUR ON STAGE AND PULLED A MILLION VIEWS WHERE ARE YOU A VICTIM AT 😂😂
Im glad for your innocence that you only see cupcakes and rainbows. Continue being yourself, if you don't see the problem then you don't gotta know, live your life.
@@user-qg4sf4ei7j look, dont wana fight, but please get a grip on reality. You don’t see the problem that y’all have become so entitled and prideful ya think every woman around the world has it just as good as yall. Some women are happier then yall angry BW and wish they could live how you live.
this is slam poetry…do you know what that is? The scope of it? are you lost?
your voice is so powerful and i can feel the intensity while listening and feel your pain! keep striving
Wow, this is an amazing poem. It’s so unbelievably brilliant that I cannot even see a negative comment. Bravo.
Someone should pay for her plane ticket to Liberia
I got chills listening to this
"I'm mad at Black men for reasons I don't even have time to list."
