A survey conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy found 32. Research done by Girls Inc. showed that among black girls between the ages of 12-18 tested for sexually transmitted diseases 25% tested positive for at least one STD with chlamydia and gonorrhea most prevalent Although black girls made up about 15% of all US girls between the ages 13 and 19 they accounted for 72% of all HIV cases reported among young women Many rap videos heavily promote sex without consequences We can see the results are devastatingGrowing up as a girl in the 1970's the potential for women seemed enormous Black women were part of changing history and left a formidable legacy Recently Oprah broadcasted her Legend's Ball honoring great black women in media music and the civil rights movement The legends were women I grew up watching--women like Diahann Carroll Gladys Knight Nancy Wilson Cecily Tyson Dorothy Height Coretta Scott King and Maya Angelou just to name a few These women were dignified graceful and commanded respect They were (and still are) beautiful black women courageous and strong As a girl whenever I saw these women a sense of pride welled up inside of me and still does today Who can black girls turn to today for such inspirationAs a society we must ask ourselves several questions Do we care about the type of women girls grow up to become Is their public image worth defending Is their sexual integrity worth protecting There was a period in our history during which black men risked lynching if they attempted to protect their women from the sexual assault of other men I am perplexed by the silence of black men as black women are publicly degraded and sexually exploited We are in need of a new sexual revolution one which restores the dignity of black women A revolution is needed that will transform black women from "baby mamas" "chicken heads" and "'hos" to self-respecting wives and mothers (preferably in that order)While I applaud the Essence Music Festival for providing a platform to discuss the portrayal of black women in popular media it is essential that we take action that will begin to make a difference Getting the media to present balanced images of our women is imperative But we must also do some work on ourselves By challenging every attempt to exploit the sexuality of black women and girls by men in our community we can create safer healthier spaces for girls to grow up And girls must be taught media literacy so that they can deconstruct the images they are absorbingAs an advocate consultant and educator I have worked on behalf of girls for more than a decade I love girls They are beautiful caring resilient and strong But over the years I have seen girls struggle to grow up in a society that fails to protect them at every level The rate of sexual harassment of girls in their own neighborhoods and schools is extremely high Black girls face extraordinary incidents of sexual abuse at the hands of a relative or close family associate Many of these girls end up involved in the juvenile justice system the focal point of much of my work Because of their traumatic sexual histories girls in the juvenile justice system are easily lured into the sex industry Pimps disguised as video producers seek them out as easy preyThe troubling reality is that many of these girls are mothers of more than one child What will their children grow up to become Can they pass on to their children the love they didn't experience To change the trajectory of the lives of these girls we need to begin with restoring their sense of value and worth I have heard girls speak of making self-destructive choices because they believed they didn't deserve any better They saw their lives as worthless As I mentor these girls I tell them that they are valuable and have tremendous worth And that it is not dependent on anything other than the fact that God made them wonderful As I read to them from the book of Psalms "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful I know that full well" they are amazed If we want to begin to transform the lives of girls we as a community must demonstrate our belief that their lives are worthy by showing that we care enough to take action on their behalfI felt hopeful and relieved when a group of courageous women at Spelman College organized a boycott of Nelly known for his misogynistic lyrics and music videos that demean black women Our communities need more of that kind of organizing and action We must keep the momentum going and begin to turn the tide A future generation of healthy wives and mothers depends on it The Hottentot Venus is a tragic part of the history of black women Doing nothing about the present day assault on the public image of black women stands to be just as tragicSince you can no longer get single jabs in most areas parents were not having their children vaccinated. are convinced our children were fine until given the triple measles, It took the prophecies fourteen hundred years to achieve their objective, tarot cards,000 dollars. to paranoia over suspect ethnicities. and thrive on novelty.In order to avoid the harmful effects of retirement.
