about

Born out of the racial tensions of 2020, Uwera asks the questions, "What is it like being a dark skinned woman?"

lyrics

What is it like being a dark skinned woman?
It's almost as though the world sees your skin colour as a stain...
But i'm here thinking...i'm saturated in melanin, i'm not tainted by it
See you have to find you
I mean, they'll take attributes of who you are and glorify, it but will
Never really choose to honour the entirety of your beauty

The world doesn't really know beauty anyway
It can only recognise a tired and fading beauty that is here today and gone tomorrow
But I am talking about a steadiness
An unwavering truth that I am made in the image of the living God
See, that's eternal, that's what I carry that's what I hope to continue to carry
And for my children to carry and for their children and their children
Being black is a privilege
There's a strength in African blood
A boldness that comes from fighting
But not because you want to...
Because you have to.

Ibyiza imana yampaye (The beauty that god has given me)
