Black women are go-getters, crowd pleasers and

Trend-setting fashionistas

We are bold, beautiful, sexy, attractive divas

Full of God’s grace and spirit

Black women are strong, proud, and independent

We are full of energy and purpose

We don’t take no stuff from anybody

We are ready to stand up and fight

For what we know is right

We are believers in justice

And a Holy and Righteous God

We exude warmth and mercy

And we serve a Risen Saviour

Some are chocolate, others are tan,

Some are brown, others are fair

We are shapely, thin, tall, short, round, and big-boned

Our hair is a beautiful shade of black, off-black, honey,

Red, wheat, blonde or whatever color we decide

Some hair is straight, others nappy, some have curly hair

Others sleek, or a combination

Black women are the backbone and support of our Black men

We are lovers of our Black men and brothers

We are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers,

Nieces and cousins

We are excellent cooks and smart career women

Black women are Authors, Writers, Poets, Reporters,

Actresses, Singers, Playwrights, Admin Assistants,

Bosses, Teachers, Nurses, Lawyers, book lovers, sports enthusiasts,

And just about anything else we aspire to become

We are the future of a society

In desperate need of a strong woman
