Hela cells

 Hela cells 

Hela cells

Are famous 

But family didn’t know…

Til years later….

Hera cells 

Like black girl magic 

Comin from a black woman….

Alive

Immortal 

Makin science to expand….

Hera cells 

From a lady with her hands

On her hips

Henrietta Lacks….

It came from her 

Does she have any idea 

That she’d be famous?

After death? 

I don’t think so…..

Nobody knew 

Nobody knew 

Those immortal cells 

Multiply…

Hela cells

Henrietta Lacks

Who knew…

She’s in vaccines 

In medicine 

Through microscope 

Can you imagine 

That you could be your mama 

Swimmin along through waters

Of our earth helpin others

And her children 

Saw their mama’s cells

In the freezer 

Through colors

Those moments like this 

Seems like 

She’s sayin 

Hi my babies 

I love you so much…

In a way her cells expose 

Mother’s love….

Cos her kids were lookin

For answers throughout the years 

And when it’s finally settled 

This was the closest thing to 

Them…I don’t blame them…

Hela cells

If you wanna study 

Science and biology 

I suggest you do your research 

On a black woman who didn’t know 

Her cells can change the world….

Didn’t know it was possible…

Decades later 

Henrietta Lacks is still around 

Multiplyin helpin to save people’s lives…..✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 12-18-25
