Art History

Since I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History with Dramatic Arts minor, I just come up with a great idea! I can blog about different artists, art historic eras, etc. I will not limit myself to just explaining the history of the visual arts.

First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy National Poetry Month.  During and after I graduated from university, I did submit some of my poetry on different publications and on my alma mater's literary review called The Oracle. They got turned down unfortunately. However, I did discover PoetryVibe and got good comments. I finally self published my book, The Eclectic Mind of Vee , and I might put it in audiobook. Hey! I might translate my poetry books in different languages. Anyway! Happy National Poetry Month!

Just Because: The Stereotype Poem

Just because I’m black does not mean does not mean inferior, I’m not meant to be treated like I’m subhuman Just because I’m a woman does not I’m a sex object, I do have a brain you know.  Just because I’m a black woman does not mean I’m ugly, Black is beautiful. Just because my hair is natural does not mean I stopped wearing deodorant, I do practice good hygiene, you know. Just because I’m an American does not mean I’m arrogant, No culture is less than or greater than. Just because I’m an African-American does not mean I’m angry. I do have things to be happy about. Just because I’m a Christian does mean judgmental, I’m not God. Then stereotypes I mention are just what society thinks of me. However, that’s society problem and not mine. I mean I’m not perfect, I’m human after all! That’s all that matters.
