Black Women Speak is a community blog for black women of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities to speak from the heart to each other about everything! As black women from diverse cultures, we have our own unique challenges, a plethora of solutions and wisdom to spare. This blog for african american and black women is created just for you!
This is our time, space and place to share our ideas, concerns, stories, poetry, world views and more with our black sisters across the globe. Black women, just like you and me are destined to be mentors. We can cry, laugh, advise and dream together as part of our very own network through this blog for black women. We invite and welcome people of all ethnicities who may want to learn and share with us.

Despite gender and racial setbacks that we face in this society, we walk with our heads held high and our issues under our feet. We are the backbone of our culture, yet in the media we are portrayed as overly aggressive tyrants. read more (161 words)

I must share with you there most liberating experience of my life. On Oct. 28, 2011 I sat in my stylist's chair and told her I wanted to cut my hair off. My 25th birthday was a week away and I really wanted to do something Big. I found myself spending way too much money on weaves and paying someone to put it in. Whether it was quick weaves or sew-ins it was becoming to much. These were low maintenance styles that made it so much easier in the morning while getting ready for work.

I don't know how the voting for 2012 is going to turn out, but I do know one thing for sure, if you don't have your voting paper work and I.D'S in order for the 2012 election and get to the voting polls and vote, you will get what they give you and that will be a lot of nothing, as you can see already. Too all the young people out there that don't vote this will affect you just as much as it does the older voters that have fought hard and voted all their life, it's time for you to get your stuff together and help fight for your rights. All the programs you enjoy right now will be gone if you decide to do nothing because we can't keep doing this by ourselves. It seems like we are doing this by ourselves and you are sitting there and enjoying your food stamps, chip program, day care assistance, assistance with your utilities and rent and your bush phone while you walking around filling your grocery cart full with the use of food stamps, while our older people walk around in the grocery stores counting their pennies because they have to buy medication and enough groceries to last till the end of the month. Get up off your backs and wake up and do something stop watching us put in all the work while you chillin this don't just affect us it affects you too.
