A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely.
Her tears flows as abundantly as her laughter.
She's Soft and powerful
She's practical and spiritual.
In her essence, a strong woman is a gift to the world.......
African women in general need to know that it's OK for them to be the way they are as a strength, and to be liberated from fear and from silence. (Wangari Maathai)
African women aren't simply born. We're forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge they grow mentally and emotionally. We move forward with our head held high and a strength that cannot be denied. A woman who's been through the storm and survived. We are Warriors!
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how u can still come out of it.
(Maya Angelou)
African women in sorrow and pain never give up.
Our loves supersedes
In good and bad times we fight for the happiness of our homes
We were made out of men
But we were forged out of our own life challenges
We are the honor of our homes
The back bones of our husbands
The strength of our children
We are women made as men
We are neither weak or lazy
We are independent
A black woman had had to struggle being the person of great strength
(Dorothy Height)
There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in black women.
It's as if steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet.
(Maya Angelou)
We do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.
