The theme this week is insecurities/the idea of getting rid of them or not having them. This piece is about how to not be insecure and to be confident in who you are. Sophia Thakur is a young poet who is performs her poems on YouTube. Her poems are described as something people can relate to and emotional, which I can agree with. This poem specifically is about how women need to embrace themselves and do whatever it is that makes them feel comfortable. The line that stuck with me the best is when she said just because she wears make-up and weave doesn't mean she hates herself because that is a common belief. People think girls who wear make-up are insecure and don't find themselves attractive without it, and although that may be the case with some girls it's not the case with all. She stressing that girls need to be confident in who they are and "be queens" because everyone is royalty. I love this poem because it is uplifting females instead of tearing them down.
