Reneé Drummond-Brown writes



Over 25% of all languages are spoken by your brilliant tongue,
and-yes, that Mother-tongue wags truths,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…So help me God!
Your breast houses the word. Therefore, you are the
richest, rarest, realist of all Eden’s spotless dirt.
This for certain…I do know!
What do they call you African-gal?
They call you out your name.
But ‘imma love on you hard anyhow.
Yeah, I love you just the same.
Press on gal,
and wear that glorified sanctified braided crown!

Although, snatch west of the Congo;
your breed is no come from behind race.
But you persevered sustah-gal and are
the most educated species
in alllllll “these” United States! 
You my sistah, are the Mother of humanity
as you meticulously breastfeed EVERYONE’S shameful-breed.
You sustah-gal are more than Webster’s odyssey;
none can ev’r dispute your holy truth, notoriety, and/or creed.
What do they call you Afro-American-gal?
They call you out your name.
But ‘imma love on you hard anyhow.
Yeah, I love you just the same.
Press on gal,
and wear that glorified sanctified processed crown!

The law is in your tongue.
The truth is in your ways.
You walk a straight and narrow path, and not talk the talk of hideous games.
Your headscarf covers your mysterious face;
modesty coupled with a symbol of love depicts great religious faith.  
What do they call you Middle Eastern-gal?
They call you out your name.
But ‘imma love on you hard anyhow.
Yeah, I love you just the same.
Press on gal,
and wear that glorified sanctified khimar crown!


Dedicated to: “JUST” put Ms. in front of it when you pucker your lips to call-out our names!

  1. In the Qur'an "khimar" denoted a headscarf, while "ḥijab" denoted a partition or a curtain or was used generally for the Muslim rules of modesty and dress for both males and females. The most explicit section (surah 24:31): "And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their private parts; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their khimar over their breasts and not display their beauty except to their husband, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments." Some 2 centuries after Muhammad, the Persian scholar Abu ʿIsa Muḥammad ibn ʿIsa as-Sulami aḍ-Ḍarir al-Bughiiat-Tirmidhī gathered 3,956 ahadith (words and actions attributed to the prophet) known as "Jami' at-Tirmidhi;" it included the following: "Aishah narrated that Allah's Messenger said: 'The Salat (prayer) of a woman who has reached the age of menstruation is not accepted without a khimar.'"
