Final Blog Post


What they don’t understand about women is that they represent so many things like strong, wise, beautiful, loving caring, unique, etc. A woman can be so many things but you try to sum it all u you can’t.  My grandmother is my inspiration; today as I sit down and think about what kind of woman my grandmother was I think of all of these plus more. She was like a word search every time you look at her you see something different. The closest thing I can compare her to is a word search because she is so many things in one.

 My grandmother was also kind, wise, religious  beautiful, and a great chief  She raised 11 kids and many of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. My grandmother helped anyone that was in need, she even helped take care of her elderly neighbor until she passed away. She was a great chief  everyone loved her cooking. My grandmother was a strong phenomenal woman and she inspires me to be a better person.


A woman is a beautiful gift.
A woman is a symbol of quality.
A woman is a central figure of family.
A woman stands for her poise though there is doubt.
Woman are strong and remarkable
Yes, we've hurt and yes we've cried
But woman we,re strong, brave, and alive.


I decided to revise this poem because I didn't have an academic source when I wrote it. i searched everyday for a source that had anything to do with my topic and I finally found one by the time I got to my third mini project that kind of relates to my topic. It talks about misrepresentation and the pressures that society puts on black woman about how they should look. Then I started to think of my grandmother my grandmothers advise and how she always told the woman in our family that we are all beautiful and we shouldn't think that we have to look like the women that we see in the media. She reminded me that women are so much more.
