You pride yourself on
Diversity
But we are the ones forgotten about when
there’s decision making.
You water yourself on
Equity
But we are the ones that receive less opportunities.
You plant yourself on
Inclusion
But we are an ostracized group.
Our acknowledgements only land on our token month,
February for Black History month,
November is Indigenous People’s month,
Half of September and October, Hispanic Heritage month
What about the other 277 days?
Perfection is the enemy of action.
Make our months magical, make our months memorable,
Make our months marketable, make our months motivational
Make our months yours.
Appreciation to Appropriation.
Where are our flowers?
