The Black Youth Project 100 DC chapter meetings were founded at the old sigma house in DC in spring of 2014, hosted by BYP100 co-founder Jonathan Lykes. After one of the meetings Jonathan's best friend, Je Nae Taylor got BYP100 members to chant the lyrics “I Love Being Black”, Jonathan immediately grabbed his guitar and free-styled the chant into music and melody. The chapter joined in and sang it as a choir for the first time. The song has spread across the global Movement for Black Lives and has been a used to declare the love, joy and self-determination of Black diaspora around the world. Je Nae Taylor originally taught the “I Love Being Black” chant lyrics to her students while living on the south side of Chicago.

Lyrics:
I said I love being black,
I said I love being black,
I love the color of my skin,
cuz it’s the skin that i’m in,
I love the texture of my hair,
And I will rock it everywhere.
