A few years ago I read a book by Merlin Stone called When God Was a Woman, in which she wrote that "in the beginning, people prayed to the Creatress of Life, the Mistress of Heaven. At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman...the female deity in the Near and Middle East was revered as Goddess-much as people today think of God...the original status of the Goddess was as supreme deity...the Great Goddess was regarded as immortal, changeless, omnipotent; and the concept of fatherhood had not yet been introduced into religious thought." As a critical thinker, I know that sometimes a lie is told when the truth is declared halfway or haphazardly. Stone, who happens to be a White female artist and college professor, never mentioned the racial make-up of the female divinities of the world's earliest civilizations she wrote about. I don't know understand how Stone could write a book about When God Was a Woman and then later write a book on Three Thousand Years of Racism, which focuses on uncovering evidence of racism imposed by Indo-Europeans after they conquered most of the same regions discussed in When God Was a Woman, and fail to connect the probability that the Goddesses she first wrote about were originally depicted as Black women. How can she admit that "historical, mythological and archaeological evidence suggests that it was these northern people who brought with them the concepts of light as good and dark as evil (very possibly the symbolism of their racial attitudes toward the darker people of the southern areas) and of a supreme male deity;" but not admit that the Goddess of theses Black people was also Black before they and She were conquered by White people (i.e., Indo-Europeans). Whether this failing was accidental or intentional is irrelevant, yet one could assume that the Goddesses would originally resemble the people who worship them. According to Albert Churchward, "the earliest members of the human race appeared in the interior of the African continent about two million years ago, then from the region of the Great Lakes they spread over the entire continent. Groups of these early men wandered down the Nile Valley, settled in Egypt, and then later dispersed themselves to all parts of the world...As these early Africans wandered over the world, they differentiated into the various human subspecies that now inhabit our planet. The men who remained in the tropical and equatorial regions retained their dark complexions, whereas those that settled in the temperate zones lost a portion of their dusky pigmentation and developed a fairer skin." Provided that the original racial profile of the Nile, Indus, and Tigris-Euphrates River Valley as well as the Aegean civilizations has been clandestinely confirmed as Black/African, then the female divinities worshipped in these civilizations should also logically be Black/African. Accordingly, in the beginning, to revise Stone, God was a Black woman.

In this timely, much-needed book, theologian, social psychologist, and activist Christena Cleveland recounts her personal journey to dismantle the cultural “whitemalegod” and uncover the Sacred Black Feminine, introducing a Black Female God who imbues us with hope, healing, and liberating presence. For years, Christena Cleveland spoke about racial reconciliation to congregations, justice organizations, and colleges. But she increasingly felt she could no longer trust in the God she’d been implicitly taught to worship—a white male God who preferentially empowered white men despite his claim to love all people. A God who clearly did not relate to, advocate for, or affirm a Black woman like Christena. Her crisis of faith sent her on an intellectual and spiritual journey through history and across France, on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to the ancient shrines of Black Madonnas to find healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. God Is a Black Woman is the chronicle of her liberating transformation and a critique of a society shaped by white patriarchal Christianity and culture. Christena reveals how America’s collective idea of God as a white man has perpetuated hurt, hopelessness, and racial and gender oppression. Integrating her powerful personal story, womanist ideology, as well as theological, historical, and social science research, she invites us to take seriously the truth that God is not white nor male and gives us a new and hopeful path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people.

"A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to find Him to get her."-Nuri Muhammad The wicked of this world see the Black woman as object of pleasure and perverse admiration mixed with toxic disdain, the truth is we are the most favored of women the world over. For we are Allah (God's) woman and His personal choice. All Praise is Due to Allah. Nuri Muhammad echoes his teacher, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who echoes his teacher, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in his new book, The Black Woman: The Second Self of God the Black woman must be respected and protected. The Black Woman: The Second Self of God takes an in-depth look at the Proverbs 31 Woman while simultaneously examining the Woman of Amram, Maryam, the mother of Jesus. Treating this subject matter with historical accuracy and modern application, The Black Woman: The Second Self of God seeks to focus the mind and the spirit of the Black woman on that which is real and unfailing, her relationship with Allah (God). In this latest offering, the reader will find humor, truth, and thought provoking ideas that challenge stagnation, false perceptions and ideological cowardice. In the Garden of the Beloved, every flower has a purpose and so too does every Black woman, for truly she is what she is: God's Second Self and All Praise is Due to Allah."God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day..." Pslams 46:5 Traci C. Muhammad

Yara, a native of Mozambique, have written, designed and illustrated this poetic and interesting story, based on her experience of being brought up in a country that is truly multi-ethnic and multi-tribal community of 24 million people. The story is inspired by a matriarchal tribe, The Macua, and blends in background and myths of other tribes, creating a fable that shares much with well known Creation Myths of many regions and epochs of the world. The Author wrote this book in hopes to place myself squarely with those who are committed to peace, in every sense of that word. This includes peace between the genders, the races, the Faiths, as well as our painful common history. She also identifies strongly with the many efforts to resurrect The Sacred Feminine, so its long overdue merging with a largely unguided and love-starved Sacred Masculine, can be brought into common awareness. The Author believes that many African tribes illustrate the strength that Community, in its best sense, gives to its individual members. Some also illustrate the ways in which communities are led from their path, when fear rules. Knowing our spiritual stories and histories can prevent repetition of our most catastrophic mistakes, and that may well happen if we sincerely so, wish.

Not only is the Bible full of strong women… it is full of strong black women. While it is often underplayed by mainstream Christianity, the majority of the Bible took place in Africa, and involved many women of color. In this study we'll look at the lives and lineages of the following women: + Hagar - Abraham's Egyptian wife. + Tamar - The Canaanite mother of Judah's twin sons. + Miriam - The older sister of Moses + Zipporah - Moses' Midianite wife. + Bathsheba - King Solomon's Canaanite mother. + Jezebel - King Ahab's wife from the line of Ham. + The Queen of Sheba - The Ethiopia queen that came to visit King Solomon. + Mary Magdalene - The woman with seven devils cast out by Christ. The presence of these women in the Bible is often a sticking point for many because most of them descended from the line of Ham. Those that didn't come from the line of Ham were Hebrews, which were often mistaken as descendants of Ham. If you've never done a study on who these women are, which lines they come from, and the roles they play in history, then make sure you grab this book.
