Last night a group of my favorite ladies and myself went to see For Colored Girls. I must say it was in your face unadulterated honesty. I laughed and mostly I cried. I cried for myself and the millions of Black women who have endured abuse on almost every level. I could identify with almost every woman portrayed in this film. It displayed to me the raw emotional balancing act we all must go through to get to where we want to be. It also showed me the strength that we all possess on some level. We each have our burdens to bare, the true test is HOW we come out of the darkness into the light, if we come out at all. It is my sincerest prayer that everyone who saw this film will rise up and say NO MORE. No more will we be silent victims to atrocities in our homes and our neighbor's home. No more will we accept what is not beneficial to our well being. No more will we sit silently by and let our daughters fall victim along with us. We will set brilliant examples of what true womanhood is about. Our actions will display the goodness of God and all those young girls and ladies will aspire to be just like us. I must say thank you to Mr. Tyler Perry who fought so hard to get this film made. He is a blessing to us all and through his own pain, has encouraged men and women to let go and forgive, so that they might have a full life.
