Royalty runs through your veins
The task was simple. Visit elementary schools in Philadelphia. Read "Aria's Crown" to students and deliver a message that could change lives:
In a world where black skin is seen as a threat,
In a world that outlaws kinky hair,
I see you in a world that does not.
I know the history. I know the sacrifice.
