I am a Brown woman
Black is not the reflection that I see
Solely a name given to me
Cocoa Queen
Glittering Chocolate Goddess
Of all the soulful and deep colors

A color symbol of nurturing, Mother earth
Brown-skinned Healer
Cinnamon hued Shaman

Sunbathed Mocha: an enriching color that reflects my authentic glow
