The following poem was written as part of a poetry-writing event at Spurgeons Academy, to mark World Poetry Day
Being an African lady is best of all
From design and beauty to fashion and career
What our world tells about hair, from fairy tales to advertisement
A woman’s crown is the best of all a lady can have in life
Women shine bright like a diamond
And they are seen clear as water
Women are more powerful and strong
They appear like light in the dark
Thank you African women
For being courageous and helpful
