Very Nice Poem For Gabby Douglas!! By Jasmine Waiters
Jasmine Waiters wrote a poem to show the ignorant mentality that some of us have towards Gabby Douglas's hair during the London Olympics. Watch the video and let me know what you think about it.
Two talented young ladies - Jasmine and Gabby. Even young Jasmine understands the magnitude of what Gabby has accomplished, and yet there are so many adults that can't see past her hair. smh. Great poem!!
oh, Thank You for sharing this, SOOO much~LOVE it. i was embarrassed and infuriated by the infantile choice of focus on Gabby's hair, but Jasmine's poem is such a breath of fresh air (and a well deserved dose of scolding!) that i can easily remember where to keep MY focus!
