Name: Anna Renee Onyewuchi
I hated having a big butt! Even when I was younger and skinny, I thought I looked like an inverted q-tip! With maturity has come self-acceptance! I just don’t over-focus on my “problem area” and I relax and accept that God made me and He’s never wrong!
What I love most about being a black woman is my hair and its complete uniqueness! Only black women or women of colour have this tightly curled or kinky, nappy hair that defies gravity! Once the black woman accepts the thing about herself that she once rejected, then she becomes very beautiful- physically and spiritually and she radiates joy!

Nice short write up. Lovely pic too. Is she a blogger?
Have a great week all and remember to vote on my blog.
Thanks so much Abena! I love the concept of your blog and was so excited when I found you! I appreciate your choosing me as a beauty of the week! Lord have mercy, if you knew the journey I have taken to get to this place of self acceptance and even to dare see myself as beautiful....thanks again for seeing me as beautiful! We black women are certainly learning to apreciate our own beauty and "Girl, its not just you" is a very important voice of encouragement for all our journeys! I do blog! blackfolks.blogspot.com, wrestlegod.blogspot.com, napnatcool.blogspot.com. I have a big mouth! ;-D
I love your blog -- and your theories on beauty are interesting as well. I'll definitely be a visitor often!
I used to hate my butt growing up as well. It was so huge! Now I carry it very proudly!
I love her blog! It is so real. I'm glad she pinted me to your blog too :o)
And yes we all have body issues. Isn't it crazy? And me personally, I hate my hair! It stays in a bun. My hair is a kinky as it gets.period. But reading these blogs have helped me embrace who I am. It's nice to know we don't have to be fake to fit in.
Thanks for having such inspiring posts.
Anna Renee: thank you for doing this! thank you also for highlighting the fact that black women must be more conscious about our healthcare and do more research. I'm gonna take that on board too and hopefully write some more posts on health-related issues. thanks again!

@Adrianna: thanks and you're right, Anna's blog is so down-to-earth.
i love my body..
i guess we are all beautiful in our own way and we must learn to accept that but that doesnt mean that their are no ugly people, does it?
i use cliches a lot coz they're usually true so here comes another one lol..beauty is in the eye of the beholder. one person would find another ugly because they might not fit their idea of beauty. i think character does a lot for looks though.
love ur blog find it on 20sb and I will be following it! :)
