I came up with the idea to create something legendary for Black and Minority women. I had an interest in creating something more historic that would uplfift minority women
So, I decided that we would create April as International Black Women’s History Month and embrace every achievement varying from domestic engineering to medicine to politics to inventions to entrepreneurship and everything in between. I had no idea that Black and Minority women had contributed so much to this world, because most of it is not taught in schools.
In this case, minority women refer to women of African descent. This includes Afro-Australian, Afro-Latin, Afro-European and so much more. Black Women’s History Month is not just for Black Women in the U.S., but also extends to the Diaspora.
