Dorothy Dandridge

I never really knew about Dorothy Dandridge until my sister said something abut her today. Honestly, I was always admired Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, but I never really knew about Dorothy Dandridge she seems like an inspiring and person. I believe around her time she was not as popular because the color of her skin. Well, this just goes to show how little we know about our own culture. I know that I am not the only one that did not know about Dorothy Dandridge. A lot of people that are African American do not really know about her either. We idolize Audrey and Marilyn, not that it is a bad thing, but we do not know anything about Dorothy Dandridge. That is the saddest thing to me because her legacy died with her. That she wanted African American women to have the same recognition as other women. Like even with the natural hair movement and craze it is still sad that after years of having curly and coarse hair we have only recently learned how to maintain it and care for it. As women we are all caused to rise and when we are determined we cannot be stopped. Like with my blog I could easily give up but I am determined to keep pushing. My drive is strong and I cannot stop and I will not stop.
