Women are the guardians of the Universe, no matter the colour of their skin, age, body measurements. All of us women, we make life magical, colourful, lively, worth living .

I always loved different cultures and met so many people from all parts of the world. All have some uniqueness to them, different customs, different body language, from all you can learn something new to add to your assests of self development.

Once I was exposed to so many different cultures while being in London, which I would name the “ Tower of Babel” as you can hear all the languages possible, is so fascinating to me, I wish I could understand all those languages, I began to enrich myself with all the good bits that these people possessed.

Black women that I admire are all over the place. I gave birth very early, and my child was in real danger, and one of the nurses there, she really helped me calm down and encouraged me to have faith that all will be goood. She was the only one that listened to me while living the worst episode of my life. She was so well mannered and lovely dressed, so elegant and spoke so kindly. I think black women are brought up very religious, always keep their spirits up. They would give anything for their families and are always in a good mood and honestly have the best humour. I met this lovely mom at an eye check up for my son and she told me about her difficult birth in the most comical manner,we both laughed and thanked God to have met each other. These are the people that change your life in a few minutes.

Patricia Bright is a black influencer I follow on YouTube since a long time ago. She has the best mood and is so uplifting, always has a quirky comment about what is happening in the world which cracks me up. I mean if you are in a bad mood, do make sure to check her out, she has a lot of tips about fashion, hair, lifestyle, wellness.

But the women of the moment that have been so inspiring to everyone out there who struggles with racism issues, mental health issues and miscarriages etc., are Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah is a sensational woman all around, I think everyone can learn sometimes from her wisdom and experience, having such a hard upbringing and managing to transform herself into a business mogul, fashionista, poised and elegant, always making human connections through the power of her speech to different people with diverse backgrounds, she is utterly the journalist that always raises the “uncomfortable” but necessary questions, the ones that change a generation, the ones that pick to a awakening of life within us.

Meghan Markle built and burned bridges between the royal family of the United Kingdom and the black community. She was the one that amazed the world through beauty and grace. She had the courage to raise awareness of sensitive problems that happen within the Royal Family, that happen even in our own community. She made people feel heard, understood, validated, showing that people from all walks of life utterly face the same problems, and everyone deserves to be heard.

But I think on top of my list is Trevor Noah’s mother, Patricia. A woman that maintained her freedom, through apartheid , managed to give a healthy and proper education to her mixed raised son, which was illegal at the time, maintained her feminity, intuiton, love of life, even though they had so little at time. She inspires us to be better moms and shows us that glass even half full can be enjoyable. „ Born a crime” should be on everyones to do list.

In conclusion black women we salute you, you are magical, keep on inspiring us.
