Black Girls Rock!
I know I'm rather late with this posting...but better late than never, right? Anyhow, I just wanted to take the time out to share my thoughts on "Black Girls Rock". I thought it was amazingly classy & sophisticated ! The televised event was so professional. For the first time in a long time, I can say that BET did a wonderful job with the broadcasting of this event. I was especially moved when Ms. Iyanla van Zant gave her acceptance speech. When she said that Black Girls Rock because we have no other choice (paraphrasing), I just said out loud , "You better say that girl!" That's because she's right. We as Black Girls have been " Rockin '" since the beginning of time! We as Black Girls have been Rockin ' during as well as post slavery. For as long as I can remember, we have been strong sistahs doing whatever is necessary to survive and overcome various obstacles that may come our way. We have no other choice but to rock.
