In Chicago lived a pretty brown boy with golden curls and a natural crown. His laughter filled every space until unkind words took flight. They called him "nappy head" and "dirty boy," but he found strength in his great grandma's journal. The pages held affirmations woven like threads with love's embrace. "People may call names, but you're more than they see," she wrote. So, Princeton stood tall, his heart a melody of courage. Joy flowed like rain as he danced through the hallways. "Their words won't define me, I'm fierce and unafraid," he whispered, for he's a beautifully crafted masterpiece.
