The A.B.W.

Welcome to our page, I am the Amazing Black Woman; thank you for visiting us. This is a site where Black culture is celebrated, and the diversity of the Diaspora is embraced.  I began the Amazing Black Woman as a Facebook page shortly after liberating myself from a failing marriage. I additionally freed myself from a failing spirituality and an ordinary life, refusing to settle. Like many of us, I had no idea then that I was Amazing, with a capital “A”. When I began the ABW Facebook Page, I reserved that extravagant title for the greats, such as Nina Simone, Maya Angelou, Serena Williams—you get it--certainly not me. However, while posting beautiful images of strong, intelligent. black female examples, a wonderful thing happened for me; I realized I was simply looking in the mirror. I am these women, and they are me and they are you as well. Most of the time I wear that title like a suit that doesn’t fit. Who am I to be Amazing? It is true just the same. I am Amazing, and so are you.
