My black is beautiful.

My list on why I love being a black woman.
  1. Our hair. There are so many things we can do with our hair. Yes, our hair needs more maintenance and TLC than others but it's well worth it. We have so many different textures and styles, we could be a new person every day of the year if we wanted. :)
  2. Our skin. Black people come in so many different shades and complexions. It's beautiful.
  3. Our facial features. Well have the high cheek bones and full lips that most white women pay for. Let's just say we have natural botox.
  4. Our background. It's hard enough being a woman in this world, try being a black woman. I love that the way we are looked at by society gives us more motivation. Our background is bringing up by us being determined not to let it bring us down.
  5. Our glow. When we walk in a room, we demand attention and we stand out. I guess it's our rich complexion and big hair. ;)
  6. Our confidence. Try to bring a black woman down. I dare ya. And if it just so happens you got to her a lil bit, I guarantee she won't show it. And if you got to her and she did show it, best believe by that night she's over it. Can't tell her nothing!
  7. Our curves. Need I say more.
  8. Our style. There is no doubt about it that black women are fierce! You think Lady Gaga is new and fresh. Go to the streets of predominantly black neighborhoods--3D and edible nails, a scarf into a belt, earrings worn as necklaces, sky high hair--we have done it all and then some before little Miss Gaga came around.
  9. The "look". That one look mama give you to let you know she aint playing. With just a slight lift of one brow, you know you better sit down somewhere before she get that switch.
  10. Our business. We know how to get things done and we don't play about it neither. Whether it's just running a few errands for the house or a presentation for work, we'll find a way to make it happen. Aside from being tough cookies we also know how to loosen up and have a little fun. :)

If there's anything I left off of the list, feel free to let me know. :)
