Little Black Girl Power... - After the Altar Call

Uncategorized

Hello World!

Obama Girl Swag…

It’s a good time to be a little black girl…not that it wasn’t in the ’80s when I was a preadolescent. But between the start of MTV and the popularity of shows like “The Dukes of Hazzard,” a little black girl couldn’t get a break…I mean back then, you might be able to catch New Edition on TV or even our friends from across the pond, Musical Youth (Remember them?) Oh yeah, there was at least one little black girl on TV – Tootie from “The Facts of Life” but her shine wasn’t like Blair, arguably the main character of the show…but now little black girl power is front and center…shout to Willow Smith…

And if your parents don’t let you watch music videos yet, you can always check out “Sesame Street.” Kudos to them for “keepin’ it one hunnud.” (Is that slang still apropos? now that I’m nearing my late ’30s, my slang knowledge could be slippin’.)

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Psalm 139:14

Any thoughts?
