I can't talk for all Black women; however, I believe my experiences in life have made me special. I left Ghana as a young black woman to pursue an education in Business in the States. I ended up also studying in France and then working with a well-known Japanese company. I therefore speak 3 international languages, English, French and Japanese. My experiences with different cultures, including mine, I believe, make me a special black woman.
I would say my hangups would be that I used to be very athletic in High School and after I left school, I haven't had a good exercise regiment. If I can get back to that, I would be much healthier than I am.
When I was growing up, I was teased a lot because even though majority of Ghanaians are dark, I was much darker. I used to hate my skin. However, growing up, I have really learned to appreciate my largest organ and I get so many compliments on it and I have countless numbers of friends asking what skin care I use.

@O.F.C.J: Welcome!
I'm truly moved and humbled by all these compliment...It wasn't easy accepting myself and my challenges. Also, Japanese is not as bad as it looks...I'm still working on perfecting it...I won't lie; it is a tough language but for those of you from Ghana, it sounds just like Twi. Just a thousand times more complicated! :)
You are very beautiful
you are sooo gorgeous!!
