10 Reasons I love being a black woman

1. When I walk into a room of black women, I see so many versions of beauty - different skin tones, body shapes, unique styles and I know that we are each a creature like no other.
2. I know that no sistah I meet has has the same history, viewpoint or religious belief as I do. There's always an opportunity for discourse, debate, and learning.
3. Every time I meet a black woman I hear a stereotype being shattered.
4. Black women have an outrageous sense of humor. Especially black women over the age of 40.
5. Most black women have a strong sense of faith, even though we don't all worship the same God in the same way.
6. Almost every black woman I meet is a go getter, striving for the improvement of her mind, body, spirit and/or circumstance.
7. Elder black ladies inspire me to greatness with their encouragement.
8. Young black women make me proud with their intelligence, curiousity and talent.
9. There a few things sweeter than a black woman's smile.
10. There are few things more resilient than a black woman's spirit.
