YOUNG FACES

womb of a black woman
There are many things to study and compliment and fathom within the faces of our young women. The future is there, and the things they lack and know will determine the outcomes of births, and/or result in the death of lives and dreams.

There is much power within us all, but Life begins and is carried in the Life of a Mother. How will our young women relate to, cherish (if possible), love, and build the men who will come into their lives is a fundamental question Elder's pose to themselves, their peers, and at the altars of Ancestors. It is the Ancestors millions of our young women don't acknowledge or counsel with but it is through the Sacred Womb the Ancestors came and left the Earth, our Mother.

Our young women leave their Elders pondering many things. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
