Sisterhood
Those old Different World episodes and other ‘creations’ that embellish the black woman in her free spirited element, especially Kim....remember her...the aspiring doctor ...the no nonsense having, kind hearted, determined to succeed character...'Freddie' the eccentric free spirited sista focusing on saving the world and our environment. Waiting to Exhale, Disappearing Acts, Soul food The Series. I love those programs that capture our women doing what we do best. Being mothers, nurturing our children, inspiring others through our teachings and chastising, being strong supporting our men, and taking care of home by holding it together when adversity kicks us in our hind quarters.
Our style.
We have definitely got that ‘it’ factor. There is no point in denying it. We exude style effortlessly. From our hair to our clothes, food, art, speech, sports, and music we have our own uniqueness about us as a people that stands definitively all by itself. Knowing this, especially how it’s embedded in our history, allows me to hold my head up high and walk with a certain swagger (yes ladies can have swagger too).
Our strength.
Some would say we are not unified as to be expected yet we are not known to take mistreatment lying down. We still continue to fight against racism and injustice when it prevails. We have done this since the 1800s and continue to speak up on issues that belittle us, disrespect us and threaten our hard earned freedom that so many of our people have lost their lives gaining for us.
