Sista Toldja (don't you just love the moniker!) over at Me, Myself and Eye has declared today Happy Black Girl Day a day to celebrate Black women everywhere:
In light of all the frustrating, disheartening and depressing news that so often tarnishes the name and the existance of Black women, I am declaring today a special day. Not just any day, but Happy Black Girl Day! No talk of who doesn't want us or what we can't have because we're Black. Just happy Black woman stuff. Tweet it, blog it, text it, call your friends and tell them all about it. Kiss a Black girl today, love a Black girl today. It's our day to be HAPPY!If you like the idea as much as I do, please head over to Me, Myself and Eye to show Sista Toldja some support.
**UPDATE: Happy Black Girl Day is SUCH a lovely success over on the Twitter that it shall now be observed on the 7th of every month! I'd love to have some of my fellow bloggers participate! Details to come!**
My contribution to Sista Toldja's efforts today is the following reminder of the Phenomenal Woman in all of us.
