10 Reasons Black Women Love Themselves

April 18th, 2011 - By Veronica Wells

We know, we know. Sadly, not all black women love themselves. Low self esteem, environment and a host of other elements can affect how any woman, regardless of race, will feel about herself. But recently an Essence Magazine study found that “African-American women are twice as likely to feel positive about their beauty.  That’s certainly encouraging!

    What do I love about being a black woman .. Our strength and influence. We may be criticised and sometimes undervalue our own existence but the fact of the matter is we’re precious! What is there not to love?
    Indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. Just wish we wouldn’t forget it so often sometimes…

    I am 14 years old. A few days ago, a white girl that I get along with pretty well asked me if i would rather be black or white. Before I continue, let me paint a picture for you here, this girl is blonde and popular and kinda ignorant. Anyways, i told her straight up that I would never, never trade my black heritage in. No offense to white folks, but the history of my people is too rich and powerful to simply trade.

    I agree with all that has been said, and that Ive read. Being Black comes with a lot of problems, but such as life you have the good and the bad, pros/cons. I absolutely would not change being who I am, a Black woman. I am soft, but there is a strength within my soul that doesn't need to be loud to be heard. I love my caboose and absolutely adore my body, lips and would never perm my kinky locks, although I do straighten out my hair, love the natural flexibility we have and all the styles we can create without adding a bunch of volume or other crap to the hair to get the hold. I love the different hues we come with and yes I do notice that men of all cultures check us out, although initially I didn't I didn't understand their stares and found them to be uncomfortable. Many men in other cultures, besides Black, still do not want their own kind to know that they often will sneak on Black entertainment so that they can get another peek at Beyonce's behind.
