MODIFIED POEM FROM "THE HANG UP CLUB" SERIES...

Sugar shack, sugar shame

Sugar spit, sugar pain

None of it’s sweet

It all sounds lame

Like when you say

I’m too black.


I know we never met before

So why you banging on my door?

If you come back

It shall mean war

Don’t ever say

I’m too black.


See I’m a queen

And my skin shines

With all this kinky hair of mine

I’m bold, I’m bright- a blazing dime

Ain't no such thing

As too black.

MORE ABOUT DAKOTA

SELF-PUBLISHED

Dakota Jack is from Atlanta, Georgia.  She wrote and self-published her first book in 2012, entitled, "I'm Not Pregnant, I'm Just Fat...Defeating Depression and Daring to Dream". Originally, the title was published under her birth name, Dedral Treadwell. It was later republished, in 2017, under her pseudonym.


Within her debut memoir, Dakota revealed painful things about herself, most probably wouldn't. She was refreshingly bold and transparent as she shared details regarding her struggles with depression, obesity, and a very toxic relationship.

HIGH-FLYING

Her father gave her the nickname, "Bird", just moments after she was born. It's only fitting that Dakota took flight in pursuit of her dreams.  Though faced with much adversity, she didn't quit.  Despite the pain-filled duration, she pushed through. She kept dreaming, kept believing that she could. And so, she did...

REAL

Dakota's narratives speak to the real-life struggles of everyday women.  She is known to incorporate sensitive and taboo subject matters into her works,  most often highlighting issues with self-acceptance, mental illnesses, addiction, infidelity & sexuality.
