Did you know April is Black Women’s History Month?
“Black Woman...I salute you. Your Fight...your Strength, and your Love...Keep making history!” – Dr. Cassandra Parks Evans
PRESS RELEASE from Sha Battle
ATLANTA, GA – It is generally known that black is an imposing color, symbolizing authority and submission. Combined with the luxurious beauty of the Orchid, the Black Orchid came to symbolize great power. We know there is no world or American history without including Black Women’s history. For far too long, Black women and women of color were omitted from fully participating in our society and being respected for vital and other unnamed contributions to the world.
To change that, Sha Battle declared in early 2016 that the entire month of April would be the observance of Black Women’s History Month.
In an interview with Bauce Magazine, the Atlanta-based tech-consultant and entrepreneur said, “I felt that Black History Month was not enough to celebrate the contributions that black women have made to world history. Many of our contributions have never been acknowledged. I knew that March was Women’s History Month and, while I am so happy about that, I felt like [Black women] needed our own month to celebrate the contributions that we as a culture have made to world history.”
The recognition month invites us to embrace achievements, build understanding and awareness, and celebrate the rich history of the past, present and future generations of Black Women and all women across the African/Black Diaspora.
Black Women’s History Month is about unifying the community by promoting visibility, education, empowerment, contribution and achievement which positively impacts communities across the globe.
