The Oleander in all it's beauty is poisonous to humans, much like the beauty standards placed on Womxn of color.
We Indigenous Native Womxn are beautiful.
Despite the American/European definition and standard of beauty, we live and breathe our own.
Indigenous beauty has no standard.
Your Brown skin, black hair and almond eyes the color of the darkest mahogany are beautiful.
My sister, my cousin, you are beautiful.
We are beautiful.
