I remember
When I was growing up;
Flipping through magazines,
Watching tv,
Never really seeing
People who looked like me,
Who had lives
And jobs
Like the members
Of my family.
I didn’t realize then
How much that affected me,
How it limited my possibilities
And dreams;
Something so simple,
As being seen,
But now,
iDream a dream in colour,
Vibrant as rainbows,
That shows people
Just like me,
On tv
And magazines,
Doing things
I grew up never seeing.
And now,
A new generation
Can believe,
Can see themselves
In a kaleidoscope of possibilities,
As long as we
Continue to dream
Of media that represents everybody
Equitably;
This is our dream;
iDream.
