We Rise, We Shine

We are the rhythm of the sun, the heartbeat that drums in ancient bones. Black women, crowned in strength, our melanin glows like the night sky— deep, infinite, unbroken. Black men, pillars of honor, walking with the weight of history, yet carrying hope like fire in your hands. Together, we breathe resilience, turning pain into power, turning scars into stories. We are laughter that defies the storm, lovers of life, dreamers of dreams, keepers of legacies, makers of futures. When we stand side by side, the world feels our gravity, our love, our truth, our unstoppable force. In our eyes: pride. In our steps: courage. In our embrace: the promise that we will rise, again and again, for we are more than a story— we are the story.
