POETRY: SPOKEN WORD- Being Black in America

Being Black in America

Spoken Word

#BeingBlackinAmerica

"Being Black in America is a spoken word project in which an 18-year-old male uses his voice to express his emotions towards the ever-too-frequent occurrences of young black males being murdered in our country. Words expressed are not to be taken offensively by anyone in any manner, but are to be received from a positive outlook that will further a change in our nation."

I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate - Suli Breaks,Vanity Fair,2009

"I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate" picks up on the education topic but takes a different stance and angle from "Why I Hate School But Love Education". This poem talks about how we have been made to think about how education and getting university degrees can give us opportunities to have a better chance in making our dream careers a reality. It also touches on how as individuals we are judged and tested by how well we perform on exams, but not all people perform well in exams so why are they made out to feel like they're dumb? The inconsistencies of the education system are really peeled open to reveal a deep problem that needs to be addressed and how society's needs have changed to make this even more apparent.

When it boils down to it, why are we misled into thinking that education is the only way forward for successful means in our work and career lives? We need to open our minds and educate ourselves that exam results aren't the barometer of success and that we can't let them decide our fate. We are in charge of our own destinies!"
