These days we are seeing more prominent women in all skin shades and shapes. The role models for our young black girls are proud of who they are and where they come from. The message to young girls is to be great at being the best person they can be. Skin complexion does not define who we are as people. Entertainers like Janelle Monae encourage young girls to be free and love themselves as they are. Her song "Q. U.E.E.N. with Erykah Badu is a perfect example of women empowerment. Social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram allow celebrities to connect with their fans. They share their stories and experiences on social acceptance and struggles they had to overcome.
A new event for women empowerment is the "Black Girls Rock" awards that honors African American women who are positively impacting their community and the world around them.
Black women all around are coming together and uplifting one another for their uniqueness instead of tearing one another down for our differences. We see black women of all shades in Hollywood films, as political figures, educators, and so on.
A great women is not defined by her looks, but by her character. Her beautiful skin is merely a compliment to her genuine heart.
