My name is Monique, and I am a Black woman who loves watermelon

Standard

Now, I am fully aware of the stigma and the stereotype that is attached to Black people and watermelon. It was my mother who informed me that the stereotype and stigma were entirely manufactured by white people who were both threatened and envious of the success Black farmers were having with watermelon. 

I am unapologetically Black, and I will never be ashamed of eating watermelon
