Why Black Girls (will) Always Rock!

Beverly Bond, Black Girls Rock

We are beautiful, smart, talented, fashionable, fearless, proud, humble, resilient, crazy and real.

Thank you Beverly Bond for your vision and guts; and, BET Networks for giving the project the green light celebrating sisterhood. Lots of love to the M.A.D Girls making a difference!

The show was perfectly hosted by actors Regina King and Tracee Ellis Ross; performers were selected to perfection from Erykah Badu, Melanie Fiona, Elle Varner Jill Scott, Estelle, Mary Mary, Mary J. Blige and Shirley Caeser.

Erykah Badu - Show Opener

Loved the vignette with the ORIGINAL Black Girls still Rockin’ – Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Anita Baker with the message, “Stay the course and you will come into your own.”

Thank you Ruby Bridges for being a living legend; and, Imani Walker for all your courage and passion.

Here are some #blackgirlsrock nuggets to get you through the moments:

Jill Scott - Show Stopper!

Taraji P. Henson – “We are always an after-thought but don’t have to be”

Lauriel J. Richie, Pres. Of WNBA – “Stand tall, celebrate diversity”

Angela Davis – “Stay encouraged and empowered young women of color”

Jill Scott- “I’m the original”

Shirley Caeser – “I’m (still) Rocking!”

My babies are rocking to this amazing show with me – what a great way to celebrate the #weekend.
