I think part of it is accepting that it's so much beauty in being black and that's the thing that, I guess, I get emotional about because I've always known that. I've always been proud to be black. Never wanted to be nothing else. Loved everything about it, just...It's such beauty in black people, and it really saddens me when we're not allowed to express that pride in being black, and that if you do, then it's considered anti-white. No! You just pro-black. And that's okay. The two don't go together. Because you celebrate black culture does not mean that you don't like white culture or that you putting it down. It's just taking pride in it, but what's irritating is when somebody says, you know, "They're racist!", "That's reverse racism!" or, "They have a Black History Month, but we don't have a White History Month!"Well, all we've ever been taught is white history. So, why are you mad at that? Why does that make you angry? That is to suppress me and to make me not be proud-Tina Knowles(quoted from the Album "A Seat at the Table" by Solange Knowles)

We were created for Greatness. We have a lineage of royalty that is undeniable. You deserve to live an abundant life. When you create a vision of success in every aspect of your life, you will walk towards that vision and nothing and no one will prevent you from attaining pentacle levels of achievement. I imagined the life that I have when I was 12 years old. However, because of who I married and the choices I've made, my life has exceeded my expectations. I created an image of the woman that I wanted to be and every decision that I made was in direct correlation with becoming that woman and living the life I imagined. You have to live your life with purpose and determination. You have to demand respect. You have to set your goals strategically. Don't expect others to do for you what you have to do for yourself. This is the story of a driven and determined woman. I dream BIG and when I reach my goals....I dream BIGGER. What's your story?

"Black is Beautiful!" The words were the exuberant rallying cry of a generation of black women who threw away their straightening combs and adopted a proud new style they called the Afro. The Afro, as worn most famously by Angela Davis, became a veritable icon of the Sixties. Although the new beauty standards seemed to arise overnight, they actually had deep roots within black communities. Tracing her story to 1891, when a black newspaper launched a contest to find the most beautiful woman of the race, Maxine Leeds Craig documents how black women have negotiated the intersection of race, class, politics, and personal appearance in their lives. Craig takes the reader from beauty parlors in the 1940s to late night political meetings in the 1960s to demonstrate the powerful influence of social movements on the experience of daily life. With sources ranging from oral histories of Civil Rights and Black Power Movement activists and men and women who stood on the sidelines to black popular magazines and the black movement press, Ain't I a Beauty Queen? will fascinate those interested in beauty culture, gender, class, and the dynamics of race and social movements.

Essence Magazine 2023 Must Read Bet on Black is a call to action for Black people all over the world to adopt a fresh, highly informed mindset that will change their lives. Blackness is a rich, expansive place that centers resilience, excellence, beauty, panache, and brilliance. But these notions of Blackness have long been distorted by American racism, where for generations Black folks have been expected to live a subordinate, second-class existence in the country they call home. Williams delves into some of the cornerstones of leading a first-class Black life, including: Don’t Let Anyone Make You Their Black Sidekick Carry Your Blackness Proudly Everywhere You Go Disrupt Oppressive Power Structures No Need to Codeswitch Black Community is Invincible When We Get Together In this book, journalist and attorney Eboni K. Williams delves into some of the cornerstones of leading a first-class Black life, ranging from understanding one’s history to investing in the sometimes challenging processes of success. She does this all while sharing intimate details of her own story. Bet on Black will reawaken your own self-worth and understanding of the value of celebrating Blackness—whether yours or others’. Williams boldly proclaims that Blackness is the single most misunderstood construct in America. Bet on Black invites you to join her on the quest to show the world what Blackness really is.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Introduction I am writing and dedicating this book "Dark Black Women are The Sexiest (REALLY, Black women are Beautiful)" to my beautiful daughter, Polly and grand daughter, Amber. This book is to educate them how God made everything so they will understand their complexions and be proud to be beautiful women. In the beginning God created all living things on Earth and he gave each it's color as not to be superior to another. We do not know why he gave each thing it's specific color, but I believe he gave each thing it's color for a reason to camouflage or protect it from danger in his own grand wisdom. The color of black and white are present in all species; in some instances black and white are given to them. The color of being black is not a curse and that's a fact. However, each author may say his or her writing is inspired by God. It is up to the reader to accept or reject that concept to be believable or just a fictitious creation of his or her work. This book's purpose is to inform and educate people of the World on how evolution might have really began and evolved into the World of today. Once the facts are presented in an intelligent and intellectual manner to fully understand how exploitation and manipulation were inflicted upon humans. Read the book I published: "Overcoming Ham's Curse." One of the greatest thing God gave us was the freedom of thought to accept or reject any condition or belief one may fine himself or herself in. There still is only true or false statement, not half true or half false. However, Black Americans endured that stigma for Centuries echoing the slogan: "We Shall overcome I truly believe we shall overcome." That meaning finally became a reality when President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into Law with a meaning, that we are truly equal under the Law. Words to Ponder: "When history of a people is portrayed as insignificant, history may mean very little to them. When role models of their likeness are presented in a positive way, it will decrease resentment and inferiority from being breaded into them. When a people discovers positive contributions their forebears contributed to Society, it gives hope and pride to them; then they can grasp what the color of Black really means. Black people had to overcome discrimination since the beginning of time from hardships and struggles which were inflicted upon their race for Centuries for being the color of Black. However nothing last forever. This book will make you pride if you are a freedom loving individual who cherish the freedom of all mankind. " Therlee Gipson

Throughout history, black women have experienced extreme challenges and criticisms from both their white and black counterparts. As a black woman, I can't ignore the struggles we have to overcome daily or the strengths that we gain from those struggles.The Beauty of a Black Woman is more than a book of poems and prayers, it's also covers a variety of topics that affect black women: Self-Esteem, Abuse, Love, Relationships, Motherhood, and Religion. I encourage black men as well as black women to read, "The Beauty of a Black Woman", to gain a greater appreciation for our culture and for a deeper understanding of what it means to be, "A Black Woman".
