Affirmative Action


Khadija  Tunisha  Jenkins keeps checking white on job applications
even tho both
her parents  r black as midnight;
she aint white!
and dont she know that
when they call  her
(despite the name, they Will call her since they think shes white!)
theyll  take  one  look at her
and
her
interviewll
be
over
quicker
than
i
can
end
this
poem?

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
