So, as my lovely sister Kaboom! already set forth, Colored Girl Swag's purpose is to educate, motivate and inspire... there are too many things that go on without discussion and analysis, too many women out here going thru self-esteem crises, abuse, unhealthy relationships... too many women trapped in a failed American Dream, suffering from what the WORLD tells us is a double-minority, failing to understand that it is that joint identity of Woman and Colored that makes us rich beyond years... deserving of all things gilded and jeweled...
And... there are too many Colored Men - behold - BROTHAS, that are running around believing the definitions AND stereotypes AND predjudices AND oppressions that us as Colored Women are contextualized in...
instead of support, we often get ridicule
instead of love we often get pain and abuse
instead of shared success and equal opportunity, we often get dirty rules and regulations; unfair laws and practices to keep us subordinate...
And while ya'll might thinkin "Woah she just got too deep on me!" ... well... it is that deep. Problem is, it wouldn't be if day to day someone thought to challenge a sly comment, or a degrading image....S.W.A.G. is committed to challenging... we will grow as a community of multi-ethnic sisters... and the support of our multi-ethnic brothas will grow as well.
CGS is not exlusive, yet our philanthropy and outreach is specific. We walk each day to level out the battleground in our streets, in corporate America and in Domestic households... in every media outlet be it print, world wide web, or radio streams ... we S.W.A.G.
