VALKYRIE OF BLAXPLOITATION

Icon of sinuous sex appeal
Vanquishing collective fear
Fierce vixen of the screen
Force of nature Pam Grier

Our first black woman action star
Capturing the flair of Foxy Brown
Pam Grier rewrote the script
Creating a radical underground

A new age of cinema
Black Power’s hybrid child
Subaltern energy catching fire
Burning rage and breeding pride

This movement of truth
A cultural explosion
The alchemy of cultural fusion
Branded the nipple revolution

A controversial era of film
Black characters like never before
But activist circles raised alarms
Stereotypes crafted the score

Pam Grier a seductive symbol
High priestess of a new religion
This faith of power and assertion
Rebellion the fire and the mission

Polarized currents rewired the nation
Grier a fulcrum of imagination
Seductive strength and sex appeal
Fierce Valkyrie of Blaxploitation
