Sisterhood Is Powerful: I Am My Sister's Keeper

Sisterhood Is Powerful

God sent us to be sisters

So we can be best of friends

To be there for one another

Even when there is pain

I thank the Lord for sending my sisters to me

For whom I truly love and care

We shared so many things together

Like laughter and some scares

It’s funny how we sometimes argue

I guess its normal, in this world

But, having you as my sister

Means more to me, more than you'll ever know

I wouldn’t trade you for anything

I will never let go

As our friendship continues to grow

So will my love for you

Just always remember you can talk to me

I'll be the best friend you ever knew

by Angelica Machado

Phenomenal Woman by Dr. Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me.

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see.

I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing

It ought to make you proud.

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Body Confident, Beautiful Me: A Love Your Body Campaign

When You Believe Foundation, Inc. (WYBF) is currently hosting the Love Your Body Day/Campaign on Facebook, which is actively bringing awareness to  that we are hosting. This Campaign has been very successful so far, and its goals are being met.

Here's some background about the Campaign and the day of celebration:
This year, Love Your Body Day is October 19, 2011. On September 25, 1998, National Organization for Women (NOW) Foundation celebrated the First Annual Love Your Body Day. Love Your Body Day is "a day of action to speak out against ads and images of women that are offensive, dangerous and disrespectful."

When You Believe Foundation, Inc. is actively raising awareness towards and after this day about beauty ideals, body image, self-esteem, etc. Fill out this survey that is currently being conducted in order to help us get better assessment of personal and public opinions.

To continue this Campaign, WYBF is launching a platform with the same mission called Body Confident, Beautiful Me: A Love Your Body Campaign. This blog will be the portal about this Campaign and will serve as a medium for girls and women to share their stories with regards to body images, beauty ideals, and things related to self-worth and self-esteem. GIRLS and WOMEN, we highly encourage you to please positively participate in this Campaign in whatever way you can. Share what you LOVE about YOUR BODY, and CELEBRATE your girlhood/womanhood. This blog is for you!

The goal of this blog is to Enlighten, Empower, and Entertain.

If you are interested in sharing your stories, poems, songs, art, being a blogger, please send an email to rubybjohnson@gmail.com
