Despite
the images that are portrayed in society, the strength of African American women is the most powerful strength in the world.girlSTRONG! is an organization dedicated to helping African American
women and girls embrace the unique God-given strength that is all their own. Through books, workshops, and innovative
programs, girlSTRONG!
is creating a movement that will empower women and girls of African descent to apply Biblical priciples to everyday
situations.
Society often tells African American girls that if they do
not meet certain unrealistic standards
- if they don’t look, act, or dress a certain way –
they are not good enough.
Girls can learn how self-respect, self-esteem, and a closer
relationship with God can make their lives full and complete.

Black girl,
Beauty fine is in your blood line
The world
Wants the gifts you're born with
Secrets of all the queens
Are locked inside your precious dreams
Stay Gold
See no matter where you start
You somehow make it to the top
Cause you're Gold
You see Black is so beautiful
Kissed by the sun
As we dance to the drum
So beautiful
Black is so beautiful
Our spirits, our hearts
Our style, and our art
So beautiful
Except from the song "Black Is...", by Fertile Ground now playing on this site.
