What's Meetup?

Maybe it's time for a little less face-to-screen and a little more face-to-face.

What's a Meetup Group?

Meetup Groups are today's support groups, parent playgroups, citizen groups, fitness groups, book clubs, professional groups, and other powerful local groups!

Introduction
I'm a young married woman who loves meeting new people and engaging offline. It would be a great to meet other positive women who are serious about changing our realities.
What women of color inspires you? Name a famous one such as Madame CJ Walker and a non-famous one such as 'my mama!' And why does she inspire you?

Jada Pinkett inspires me because she is a young confident woman with a positive career, family, and personal outlook. She a mother, partner, and still makes time for herself with her band.

Why do you think the relationship amongst women of color is so torn? How did it get this way? And what can be done to change it?

I think women have not been honest with themselves, which makes it difficult for them to have open, honest, and respectful relationships with other women.

When was the last time you've felt that you were treated wrongly by a sister for no reason at all? How did it make you feel?

When a woman treats me wrong, I don't take it personally. Instead I offer to talk to her about why she finds herself feeling this way constantly, because it's rare that this is the first time she's treated a woman that way.

How do you feel when you hear people say that women of color have attitudes? Is this true? If so, why? Do our actions warrant this negative stigma about us?

I think women of color are different from other woman and they're attitude is one of the things that set's them apart. It's not necessarily a liability once you take time to understand her perspective and life experiences.

What can we do today and from now on to foster better interaction between black women?

have more open communication with women and build more of a sisterhood.
