Just a general FYI
I support women who misbehave, who rebel against the status quo,
who exist in deviation of the norm, infact I adore women like that,
women who scribble as apposed to writing,
women who paint over as apposed to colouring in the lines,
women who gulp their drink in one sip as apposed to 100 sips,
women who sit with their legs open, burp out loud, laugh out loud and stare uncomfortability into men,
I adore women who choose violence over diplomacy in the face of injustice,
I love women who choose violence over diplomacy in the face of ukuqhelwa ikaka,
I adore the queerness of black womanhood,
I adore the women who speak out of turn and spit at respectability politics, I adore women who undo borders and take down categories,
I adore women who enjoy the androgyny of being black unapologetically,
I adore women who fill up spaces with the scent of their rebellion and disrespect,
I love women who's bodies don't fit any of the moulds so they take up space to break moulds,
I love women who's bodies are as rebellious as their spirit,
women who's bare faces look like defiance and reckless abandon of respect, I love women who cast spells with their middle fingers
Women who survive witch trials with the fight in their eyes,
Women who defy gravity and all the other laws men have claimed and created,
Women who burn their cook books and pick up their beer glasses,
I adore black women who sit in their blackness without trying to explain it to anyone else because Voetsekini,
I absolutely, positively, austentaciously love them with all of my being!
