The “Look”
a poem by Inez Tuck, April 2022
A Black Woman
Vice President
Supreme Court Justice
Actor
Entrepreneur
Professor
Nurse
Teacher
Engineer
Housekeeper
Attorney
CEO
First responder
Flight Attendant
And more!
The defense against
efforts to humiliate,
to demean,
to threaten,
to diminish.
The only weapon
to assert boundaries,
to counter hate,
to protect dignity,
to maintain grace.
Is the “Look!”
