Welcome to Black History Month and I invite you all to celebrate with me women of the African Diaspora. Each day this month I will offer a bit of history.
As the progeny of the African Diaspora many of us pause in the month of February to pay homage to our ancestors who survived the horrors of the Trans- Atlantic Slave Trade. We pay homage to our ancestors by remembering the Yoruba proverb that states, "If we stand tall it is because we stand on the backs of those who came before us."
Our ancestors have taught us it matters not who stands against us because all that we ever need to be, to do, and to know is available to us in their teachings.
They have taught us how to make it on the broken pieces, and they have taught us how to make " a way out of no way." They have taught us we must lift as we climb, and they have taught us that we must always see our work in relationship to one another.
These teachings we must not forgot!
As the beneficiary of a rich legacy I invite you all to journey with us women of the African Diaspora for the month of February as we celebrate our ancestors and each.
