TOO BLACK

image1529

From "The Hang Up Club" Series

 Sugar shack, sugar shame

Sugar spit, sugar rain

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 be war

Don’t ever say

I’m too black.


See I’m a queen

And my skin shines

I love this kinky hair of mine

I’m bold, I’m bright- a blazing dime

Ain't no such thing

As too black.

SELF-PUBLISHED

Dakota Jack is a brazen author and screenwriter 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 the pseudonym- Dakota Jack. 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

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

REAL

Simply put, Dakota keeps it "real" when she writes. Her narratives speak to the varying struggles women sometimes encounter in life.  She is known to incorporate sensitive and taboo subject matters,  most often highlighting  self-acceptance, mental illness, addiction, infidelity & sexuality.
