“I am a black woman … I build .. I don’t tear down other women .. I have felt the pain of being TORN DOWN and I have decided I will be deliberate about building others ! #myblackisbeautiful” -Taina Williams’ Instagram
“Mamiii ???” -Lori Harvey
“Aww tootieee ! Love you ??” -Reginae Carter
“I accept the challenge. We are BLACK WOMEN… We build… We don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN… We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided we will be deliberate about building others! If I don’t tag you don’t be offended. I tried to pick people I thought we do this challenge. All too often we women find it easier to criticize each other other than building each other up. With all the negativity going around let’s do something positive! Upload one picture of yourself… Only you. Then tag sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down. Copy and paste. ❤️” -Angela Simmons’ Instagram
