The most Beautiful Woman in the World (F.L.O.T.U.S...the Black Woman of America)
I have always thought that there were two times in a woman's life that natural beauty radiated from her. An aura, a divine beauty that transcends mere physical attributes like smoothly hued skin, high cheek bones, big beautiful eyes, full lips or a statuesque gait. Those times of divine beauty are (one) on her wedding day, I have never seen a woman glow like on that magical day when she stands before the altar with friends and family in the pews wishing her glad tidings and she gazes into the moment and for a flicker of time, you see the natural beauty that God has so designed and called woman. The second such time in life is that of the rounded belly of a woman with child, so perfect and shaped just for the coming of the greatest gift to preserve mankind, the glow she carries with her, for only she can understand the majesty and humility that comes with the bearing of a new life to this great spinning globe. The natural beauty of a woman as I see it...until there was the First "Black" Lady of the United States.
It's not so much about who; but like the the Office of the Presidency, it is the occupation, the representation, giving a nation something to look up to, an aspiring goal for our young girls. So I must say that not only did the nation get it right with the newly elected President it was a two-for-one deal we (America) got a great representative for the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. It is so refreshing to see a positive image that is not exploitative of a Black Woman in America. It's not the sista' on the reality show acting like we know they can. Nor is it the sista' shown in the tabloids battered and bruised by her man, neither that sista' who feels she has to be a courtesan or sell her self-worth for a ticket to fame and fortune. No, it is a dawning of what the new "Black Woman" will become. What (Black) women can aspire too. Not just First Lady; but the defining of a new generation of role models.
Congratulations Women of America ,

I confess that one of my thoughts when he was nominated was that we will be bombarded for at least 4 years with photos of the president's family, and that seeing those cute daughters grow would be something to look forward to.
It's a really beautiful portrait...It's crazy how a picture can exemplify the things that I see in here - poise, intelligence, energy.
It's an exciting time for America.
Thank You!
Michelle Obama is beautiful. Although she is not the pregnant woman with her glow she is still aglow as she has given birth to (as you so aptly put it) "a dawning of what the new "Black Woman" will become. What (Black) women can aspire to. Not just First Lady; but the defining of a new generation of role models. Mother to a nation of beautiful women”
I agree!
