Black By Popular demand is power!
- It is listening!
- It is just being yourself!
I believe that Allen Iverson is a prime example of being black by popular demand!
- He is unapologetically black!
- He was himself by the way he dressed and the way he talked.
- He had conviction
- He stood up for what he believed in
- He instilled confidence in the youth
- He is serving the needs of his community.
I am black by popular demand!
- I have the power to listen
- I have the power of conviction to stand for what I believe in
- I can change the world
- I can elevate my community by observing what is happening around me
- I am beautiful
- And I know I am worth the time and effort.
