Black women were born with two strikes against them: being
black and being a woman. And, through all this, still they rise! A black woman
has great strength, elegance, power, love and beauty. It is not just the outer
beauty that captivates and draws men to them. It is their strong
spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome
great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and
their determination to succeed and reach their highest potential
while enduring great pain and suffering.
