I am a rare design of so many roots. I am African, I am Taina, I am Spanish. I am a creation of many beautiful cultures and although I'm certain every person of every other ethnic background feels quite as proud as I do I am very happy to be able to put the love I have for all women of color into words and that is why this space came to life. I hope you all find joy in it as well. Here you have one of many homes created with us in mind so come on in and leave your words, thoughts and love for all of our sisters to share. Blessings to you ALL!!!

To all my girls -single, married, or otherwise. 24 THINGS TO NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR 1. Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools, or move across country, always do what you really want. 2. Never apologize for using proper English. Keeping it real doesn't mean you have to speak Ebonics. 3. Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn't work out. 4. Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level. 5. Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself. 6. Never apologize for ten pounds you need to lose. People who truly care about you will accept you as you are. 7. Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap. 8. Don't apologize for being a single Mom. Babies are a blessing. 9. Never apologize for treating yourself to something special. Sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation. 10. Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority. 11. Never apologize for keeping the ring even if you did not get married. 12. Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves. 13. Never apologize for saying NO. 14. Never apologize for wearing a weave or braids. You bought it so it's yours. 15. Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason she's been your girl from day one. 16. Never apologize for ordering dessert or more than one dessert. 17. Never apologize for dating outside your race. Just because you found Mr. Right across the color line doesn't mean you don't love your brothas. 18. Never apologize for demanding respect. You are to always be treated as a queen. 19. Never apologize for not knowing how to cook. Even if you can't burn like Grandma you know how to order good take out. (Right Girl!) 20. Never apologize for your taste in clothes. It's your style. 21. Never apologize for changing your mind, it is your prerogative. 22. Never apologize for making a decision from your heart, even if others don't agree. You have to live with the consequences not them. 23. Never apologize for making more money than your man, you work hard and you deserve to get paid. 24. Never apologize for being you! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD" ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND HE ALWAYS HAS YOUR BACK

"Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standards never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences." —Susan B. Anthony

"The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race." —Susan B. Anthony

"We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road—the one "less traveled by"—offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth." — Rachel Carson

"I think it's very important for everyone in America to realize right now the state of our country, not just on this issue but on a lot of issues, that it is time to get active again. People have just sat back and just sort of said, oh, let somebody else do it for a long time, and we're seeing what's happening to the country, even freedom of speech. It's not going well. So I think this is a real opportunity for people to see, yes, if you do get out and you do get active, there are other people there. You just have to seek them out." —Mary Steenburgen

"I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators—they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?" —Barbra Streisand
