UNBELIEF in Young bloods, Not knowing.



Unbelief applies here looking deep into her eyes. The future is there. The possible resides within and from the core of her being is the promise of more to come. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 



Unbelief in the strength of women is founded on a concept of an overextended version of male superiority that suffers under the glare of our women, who know better. In the context of Black American history the strength of concepts from matrilineal societies hold Black families intact. Today, all the factors that debilitated the new Africans in the Americas were challenged by the old, strong traditions from the Land of the Blacks!...

I make this point because the power of this image brings this to the forefront. The strength Black American women have needs to be respected, understood, deciphered and held against the wisdom depths of our Ancestors, who understood in depths we, as a People, have long forgotten!... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 


Unaware thinking they are hip.




Turning heads is something good looking women can do effortlessly. 
Being beautiful is a condition of one's relationship with elements higher than lust.

Black As They Is!

Why Black Women Should Be Rated Most Beautiful
July 27, 2014
author unknown

In 2011, a journalist, Satoshi Kanazawa, posted an article on Psychology Today to impose a study on “Why Black Women are Rated Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women” and I, among many others, was extremely appalled.
First it was the billboard hanging in NYC stating that the most dangerous place for an African American child is in the womb. Now this?! So, I am here to rebuttal that whole racist and stereotypical article. I will share why in my social and psychological judgement, BLACK WOMEN MAY BE RATED MOST ATTRACTIVE.
I am sick and tired of all the stereotypes trying to bring down our entire race of women by throwing negative connotations our way. To be honest, Beautiful Black women have been through a lot, and have built so much strength over the years. Beautiful Black women have been beaten and abused by men of our race and other races, Beautiful Black women have had our identities stolen, and our pride stripped.
For many years, centuries even, Beautiful Black women have had to overcome so much adversity, pain, and misfortune. Beautiful Black women had our children taken from us, Black women been kidnapped from our native lands, forced into alternative lifestyles, and sold like property. Beautiful Black women have had to bear children, raise them alone, watch them get killed we’ve been shunned by our own people, devalued by other races, and continue to strive for a better way of life for the generations of African Americans to come… all while finding ways of keeping a sane and stable mind. So with that, I am here to speak my piece.
Now, I can’t speak for all Black women, nor can I speak for all the men who rate Beautiful Black women. But for those I do know, I have shared my views with them and they’ve shared theirs with me. I’ve come to realize the finest attributes of beautiful Black women and am so proud. Beautiful Black women aren’t perfect, no race or gender is, but Black women have so many unrecognized qualities and Black women deserve our platform to show it.
With that said, Black Women May Be Rated The Most Attractive because:
1) Beautiful Black women’s STRENGTH. Black women have endured so much and still persist to do better. Black women don’t give up in the face of adversity and approach life fearlessly, no matter how much we’ve been threatened and devalued.
2) Beautiful Black women are so VARIED. We come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Black women are blessed with all different shades, all types of hair, Black women have no standard size and can be as little or as big as we please, we are thick, curvy, thin, petite, slender, large, medium, and small. Beautiful Black women are proud of who we are, uniquely and wonderfully made.
3) Beautiful Black women have such a unique sense of STYLE and wear our fashions boldly and proud. Beautiful Black women invent new ways of innovating our style. Beautiful Black women change the game on so many levels, adding new colors, jewels, accessories, and more.
4) Beautiful Black women’s SKIN is strong and just doesn’t crack. Black women can certainly maintain our youth. 


5) Beautiful Black women are BOLD and outgoing. Black women aren’t afraid to be honest and speak our mind.
6) Beautiful Black women’s HAIR can do any and everything. Beautiful Black women are the only race that can pull off any type of hairstyle, whether cut, curled, colored, straight, kinky, braided, bobbed, twisted, long, short, weaved, or not- Black women can do it all.
7) Beautiful Black women are professional LEADERS. People of color have lead so many industries, from entertainment, athletics, politics, science, and more! Beautiful Black women have been inventively changing the game for years and years. Black women are creative thinkers who never allow anything to stand in the way of our success.
8 ) Beautiful Black women are MOTHERS and LOVERS and always keep that as our priority. No amount of money or level of our career can take away the priceless role of being a mother or lover. Beautiful Black women understand the value of keeping family first and live to keep that in our blood for years to come.
9) Beautiful Black women are are as SEXY and SOPHISTICATED as Black women want to be.

10) Beautiful Black women are CONFIDENT, no matter who tries to tear us down, Black women don’t ever stay down.
11) Beautiful Black women are FIGHTERS. No matter what challenges stand in our way, Black women fight to find a way past it. We don’t settle and certainly don’t fold.
12) Beautiful Black women value our LOOKS. Black women are always researching new ways to keep our body, skin, nails, clothes, weight, and hair on point. Black women put great value in our fashions and appearance making sure we achieve the look that best represents how we feel inside.
13) Beautiful Black women LOVE our men. No matter what we’ve been through with Black men, Black women cannot help but love the fathers, brothers, sons, and male partners in our lives. Black women honor them and place them with such high regard– until they ruin it of course– and still, Black women love them unconditionally. Even without the looks, money, time, and physical or emotional attention we request of them, Black women can’t help loving the men in our lives. Beautiful Black women understand their struggle and try so hard to be the support and strength that they need.
14) Beautiful Black women find ways to EDUCATE ourselves even when education isn’t readily available.

15) Beautiful Black women find ways to MAKE MONEY when we reach our lowest points. Beautiful Black women use of heads and don’t ever settle for being broke.
16) Beautiful Black women live, love, and LAUGH. We like to hang out, be with family, be out on the town, and enjoy the joys that life that has to offer in Black women’s various ways.
17) Beautiful Black women have FAITH. Although Black women may all have chosen different paths to our faith, Black women have a spiritual relationship with God that gives us the strength to keep on persisting through every challenge that comes our way.
18 ) Beautiful Black women are TALENTED. Black women sing, we dance, we act, we play instruments, we play ball, we write, we draw, we step, we swim, we design, and basically find some valuable skill in ourselves that we can someday call a talent.
19) Beautiful Black women are OPEN-MINDED and aren’t biased toward other races of shows, music, movies, books, people, etc. Black women weren’t raised to be that way, but understand how we are viewed by others and are always aware of that. Black women keep an open mind toward all others while trying to maintain our self pride and defenses in the midst of other races.
20) Beautiful Black women  RESPECT ourselves. Black women will never allow anyone to degrade our race to our face. Black women respect ourselves and our people and will always stand up for our cultural rights. Black women love ourselves no matter what Black women were conditioned to think and feel about being Black. Black women honor our ancestors and all their struggles seen and unseen. Black women believe in our achievement, our success, and our race someday overcoming all our adversities. Black women know what respect is and we demand it.

Dreadlocks American Blacks lay claim to wearing is frequently spiritually removed from African spirituality. It is more fashion fought for in courts of law with concern for fitting into the workplaces foreign to racial ideologies. Why that isn't viewed as a problem by Blacks is a peep into the profound contradictions within the culture. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/9/17

Prophecy of Revitalization


introspective Black American woman 


Part 2

"The deepest thoughts from the deepest mind set upon change and revolution comes from the Womb of the Spirit African-American women come from. Through Sankofa there is hope, the possibility of the opening of their wombs to Creation and her creative processes. It will be unlike the debasing concepts of conformity to self destruct and in the end of her life-death-resurrection experience her children will rise up and call her blessed as they raise their own children to be adults. It can happen; it will happen after the awakening of the powers women carry in both of their wombs. If they can escape the clinches of the Black Church there is the chance that African spirituality and the indigenous spirituality of our Red ancestors will resurface to come forward, not as ghosts, but action, reconciliation, recapitulation and cause the re-birth of ceremonies we all need, and redesign the old, but effective rituals needed for the times we live in, and the times to come.

When these things take place we will be in a better place to kill the white man's construct within us, and become ourselves.” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.17.14
