The Evolution of us(Black women)

I was always proud to be a black woman, but not as much until I saw Oprah's legend luncheon. As I watched the event, I suddenly felt emotional, which is why I felt the need to post this blog at 3:30 in the morning:-) Maybe because I witnessed such greatness, as I see all of these important figures of great talent, beauty, diversity, and strength all in one place. Or, maybe because there were beautiful black women who share similar careers in the music and acting biz and there were no signs of hatred, jealousy, and senseless drama. This is something that we as women need to allow our girls to witness, and let them know that it takes more than giving attitude and allowing boys to give them a wet ass so that they can feel better about themselves.

These young girls today done got it so twisted. Instead of looking up to a person like Maya Angelou or Angela Bassett, they look up to the girl with the 1000 boyfriends and the paw print tattoo on her breasts! Instead of following in the footsteps of Coretta Scott King, they rather follow in the footsteps of her cousin who strips at the Pussycat Club! I think you all get where I'm going here. Basically, our girls are so impressionable and they have ideas for themselves, but their priorities are not in order, & unfortunately, the wrong person could be guiding them in the wrong direction.

My point is, if we allow our young girls to continue on the cycle of lack of self respect and lack of inspiration, then they won't get to experience what could be the greatest moment in their lives, much like what we've witnessed here.

Watching the legends ball made me feel good, because it showed me that I can achieve professionally and personally as the strong black woman that I'm supposed to be.

Self evolution is a goal that should be taught in alot of the homes of all of our young ones, males and females. It's very important that our youth is inspired to become somebody of greatness. Those wonderful women and President Obama are prime and perfect examples of what we can achieve to do if we teach them to believe in themselves.

Young girls, let's stop degrading and hating on one another! You don't see Patti trying to beat down Chaka because Patti think she sings better!...lol

Black women and black girls, if we use as much energy to promote self love and love for one another than to demean, undermine, disrespect,compete and fight each other...we'd be an awesome team!!

Let's try to carry ourselves as the epitome of greatness and carry ourselves as beautiful, strong black women with the presence of queens like we're supposed to be. Just look at the picture under this post. If you don't feel something special when looking at that pic above, then you have some serious soul searching to do!
