On the heels of Mother’s Day, our womanhood should be examined. Do women know how valuable they are or are we content to have media and men tell us who they want us to be?
Women carry the heavy load of raising children; many who are boys that will become men. The ironic twist is that those same men will ultimately forsake their home-training and choose to treat women as “less than a child of God.” And what about those “fast” young girls shaking what mama gave them instead of shaping the world they wish to inhabit and lead.
Who are we as black mothers; as contributors to our global society, teachers of leaders, lovers of dreams, and keepers of the essence of our creator? We are valuable, brilliant, reflections of what lives inside; God!
Throw your arms around those women who gave birth to you and your dreams! Throw your arms around those women who encourage and support your ups and downs. God uses their love, motivation, and teardrops to deposit greatness into your life!
Who are we black women? Mothers… divinely designed!
