IDEALS & Practical Reality


ideal beauty of a white woman has stumped the ideologies of traditions within many cultures, and inspired reform in the thinking process of countless people informed and insulted by the assaults against the multiple ideas of the ideals of womanhood. Image is a powerful thing to overcome, and so is the belief in not wanting to know how to associate with the powers of Sankofa in a spiritual practice that makes sense of the nonsensical. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.18.13


Khandi Alexander's exquisite & compelling carriage causes the Atlantic ocean's waves to move dangerously close to the ideals the dominant culture extols and topples them with aplomb. It appears that way, but the truth behind the carriage, the poise, the confidence in Black women's dominant energies lays in her heritage, and her tradition of overcoming odds specifically design to undermine First Mother, and those who understand, and believe in her strengths. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 8.18.13
