Secrets of Black Women! Why?




Many people may have already asked this question of why secrets of black women is such a big deal, well I can say that I know why it is so important.


Secrets of Black Women is important because black women in particuler deal with an awful lot on a daily basis. The things we have to deal with can range from Suicidal thoughts, Loved ones hurts and pains, Loosing friends, and the greatest of all our own grief and pain. Majority of the time we don't release things to anyone for fear of judgement by our peers, supposed to be friends, and supposed to be family memebers. We constantly take on and hold the many burdens of others. We hold our own along with our pride and keep on keepin on. We cant release to the people who are supposed to be there for us and be assured that they aren't judging us so we keep on keepin on.


It is important for a black woman, the back bone of society, to have an outlet for some of the most painful things that plague her heart in secret. That is why I have challenged my own self to let go of a secret each year. At the next art party, I will let go of more secrets than anybody I know.
