Beautiful Black women are waking up indeed.
Beautiful Black women have come to realize their value and worth and though the change is not immediately happening overnight, there is an abundant change in the social matrix of Black women's social construct.
Today's Black women are more aware of their own beauty, and though many Black women still spend billions of dollars emulating the beauty of their counterparts, some
Black women have awakened to the fact that their own natural beauty is supreme and throughout the ages has been the most imitated of all women from all other races, nationalities, creeds, and cultures.
Beautiful Black women are abandoning their weaves and wigs these days and they are learning to value and display their own natural beauty more and more, especially, as Black men wake up to the fact that
beautiful Black women's features and hair are more desirable than they have been previously led to believe.
Beauty standards are influenced by such mediums as mass media, magazine and news, commercials, and even music and television/movies. These mediums constantly feed us with ideas about
what makes someone beautiful. As Black people now have more influence on these mediums, we can also influence perception, style, and fads with these very mediums.
Thanks to social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, many Black men have sent out the message that we want
natural Black women or at least Black women who rock styles that are relative to their own genetics and cultural backgrounds. This voice has become very powerful, as many Black women have listened and are now elated that it is actually becoming cooler to display
their own natural beauty without feeling embarrassed or socially awkward.
Most of the
beautiful Black women who fit this criterion seem to be more educated, prettier, smarter and have a deeper understanding of these negative influences that teach young Black girls and grown Black women to hate themselves. That power over Black women is fading more than ever before and Black men are doing a happy dance.
Recently, American Black women have started a trend called the
natural hair movement, that even some celebrities such as Alicia Keys have joined in the movement. It's a very powerful movement and has spread across the planet and has led to many
Black women abandoning their weaves and starting to actually care for and display their own natural beauty with pride.
