"I am a Black woman" - A mini documentary/film about black women in College

We asked several woman at UF what it meant to them to be a black woman at UF and these are some responses.

Feel free to post comments or responses about what YOU think it means to be a black woman at UF, any university or just in general, or how you feel about some of the responses. I'd love your feedback about how this made you feel/think.

Created for the Black Women's Image Initiative at the University of Florida

That is great. I just like to see more Black men doing the same thing, not trying to be bad boys.

@nash8815 Read my comment again. You didn't answer my question. Black women are in serious trouble!

[nash8815]

this is a gud thing..black women makin a difference...this isnt abt black men..ofcrse we gotta support each other but sometimes we gotta show tht we represent something more than men .. they r getting themselves a better life thn stereo types...thats all that matters...being better for themselves to show tht race aint got nothing to do with how far in life u can get...vry empowering

@LISTENtotheMANofGOD whats the problem?

[LISTENtotheMANofGOD]

why cant black women ever show enthusiasm for black males? is it a crime to express loving support for black men? so dont complain when black men say women of other races love them more than their own.

@gewoonvoorfa2 i dont know what youre talking about.and what racist government? what are you on? i think you are lost and confused.do you even know where i live? or what my life experiences have been.if there is one thing you should know is not to judge a book by its cover.bye

[gewoonvoorfa2]

@mimi42428 Yeah I actually have, that's what your rascist idiot government shows us, we think you live in compton like areas and are all made up out of 50 cents and lateesha's

[mimi42428]

@gewoonvoorfa2 i dont know where youre from but it seems as though you have bought into the stereotype of what black people in america are supposed to be like.please educate yourself and travel.what do you mean by why cant theyall be like that?thats an insult.why should everyone be the same.who are you to tell people how to be? you seem very ignorant.
