Here is a list of some of my favorite “I love being black” songs about empowerment, love and pride. From our skin, to our hair, to our power, to our creativity, to our intelligence, to our resilience, to our many talents; there’s magic that flows from head to toe in each and every one of us.
Whether it’s the video or the song, each creative work tells a story that connects us. #BlackLivesMatter always and forever.
