In an ideal world, the self-affirming declaration " I am a beautiful, natural Black Sistah" Beautiful natural Black Sistah a manifestation of kinky (some would say nappy hair or locks) full lips, broad nose and dark skin (we are a million and one shades manifesting black beauty) would be a proud mantra for all Black women that embrace such inner knowledge. So why now is the self-affirming legacy for Black women in the 21st century sown up in a Eurocentric ideal of what Black really is.

Are we as Black women guilty of allowing the plagarism of our true identity to now be marketed by a myriad of organizations that are bereft of any real understanding of our uniqueness as a influential and powerful community of souls?

Is it not enough for us to be proud of our natural features and embrace our natural beauty? or are we participating in our own annihilation?
