Othered for your unique beauty… 

Devalued for your differences… 

Made to feel less than Beautiful… 

Bullied for your attributes… 

The tide is turning… 

Remember LOVE is stronger than hate…

Author's Note: This poem is dedicated to ALL of my Ruby-Red Kings & Queens (including my beloved Big Momma, who was a Black woman born with red hair).

This piece was inspired by the recent TicTok trend that has declared ALL individuals with red hair to be Black—genetically by some as well as in theory by others because of the level of discrimination that they have experienced throughout their lives. 

Additionally, a group of online individuals in the Black community have embraced red-haired individuals as their own and expressed their admiration for them and their beauty on TikTok, even giving redheads endearing nicknames such as: Red Velvet & Rose Gold.

Seeing the outpouring of love across the net has truly warmed my heart. 

May this type of love-in-action spread across ALL racial and ethnic groups throughout the world! 

The following video brings awareness to the plight of red-heads and showcases the power of love-in-action. Please enjoy:

Also, here is a fun, new theme song created for redheads:

Lastly, here is a picture of my doll son Sebastian and his doll date Sophie from their recent Junior Prom. They were named Prince and Princess of the prom and are proudly repping for the Red Velvet community:

Thanks for stopping by!

Much Love,
