TO ALL MY SISTERS

   \ blak. womun \ noun 

  1. beautiful, powerful, resilient woman of African decent, with skin                

     kissed by the sun. Not a female dog nor a tool.

  2. A leader, the mother of all mankind, a Queen of many Queens.

As one of the most vulnerable and exploited groups of human beings in civilization. Black women have had to create their own brand of ethical principles and philosophies as methods for sustaining our presence. Our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers have set a path for us to thrive to our fullest potential. We as young girls are taught to carry ourselves with elegance, pride, leadership and loyalty. We are taught to stand out in a crowd even when others don't accept us. We are taught to set our standards high, and never settle for less, we are unique from any other race. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
But......... Every-time I look on social media, my heart breaks. Women degrading their bodies with twerk videos, and provocative clothing. Taking pride in being called a baby mama, or a bad b****. I witness women degrading one another because ones skin isn't light enough, hair isn't straight enough or just don't meet the standards of " SO CALLED BEAUTY ". It's truly heartbreaking, I'm ashamed of our culture because these issues are being implanted into the minds of our young black girls.
We are suppose to empower on another and love our sisters. We are to stick together by any means necessary. We are a stronger force when we all stick together. How to you think
" The Civil Rights Movement " was accomplished ? Because brothers and sisters stuck together to fight for what they wanted. They've done the work and set the path, seems now no one wants to stick together anymore......... Let that sink in!!!!!

We will never make it to where we need to be, until we decide to put one foot forward. Lets stop hating one another, killing one another and start becoming part of one another.
