Editors’ Picks: I am a Black Woman

Dipped in melanin. Black Girl Magic. Black Girls Rock. Skin like honey. And all that good stuff. Can you tell I’m in a mood coming out a month of celebrating black history and into one celebrating women? I am always celebrating the intersection of my blackness and womanhood so of course, I take these months kind of serious. And in the words of Solange “in my opinion, we are the most poppin”.

Here are my picks for celebrating that I am a Black Woman.

No more. From our skin to our hair, our minds to our bodies, we are black women and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Drippin Honey, Caramel, Brown Sugar, Gold Tee

We are black women and we are diverse as they come. Be the representation for that diversity for yourself and your sisters in melanin. Whether you’re drippin honey or brown sugar, it’s all beautiful.
