I found this picture on Kissing In The Dark on an excellent post about black women's sexuality in art. With the recent attacks on black women, their lives and their sexuality one cannot help wondering if the focus is not altogether reminiscent of the gawking that happened to Sarah Baartman.
No matter.
I'd like to celebrate instead and show you some really powerful looking arms on the bodies of some beautiful and strong black women. YAY!
FLOTUS is my personal favorite. I cannot say that I view her in the same light as Gloria Akalitus, but I'm pretty close.
The ever gorgeous Angela Bassett is my second pick. Those guns always look good exposed. Thank you Ms. Bassett!
Ms. Rice who appeared on Oprah's Master Class series on OWN, has been in the news recently because she gets to be on 30 Rock. I was pleasantly surprised when I found this picture.
It is important to keep these images in our minds when we think of our sisters, beautiful and strong in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Today I celebrate you!
