I must say, this whole month, since June 1st, I've learned so much about African American women! I really appreciate my professor, Dionne Bailey, for being driven to make this class available to a striving student like me. Often times, you never hear of a class of "just about women". Most times when you hear about women in history, especially African American women in particular, is mostly about slavery and taking care of the home. This class has really inspired me and uplifted me to press against negative stereotypes, challenge myself, to speak up, and to strive to be an "SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL UPLIFTING AFRICAN AMERICAN PHENOMENAL WOMAN", to be proud, but yet humble. I've really enjoyed taking this course, but just like any good thing, eventually it comes to an end, but the class will always stick with me in spirit, to be like Ida B. Wells, speaking up, to be like Helga Crane, but rather chasing and engaging in education, and to be like Janie and "live". Good luck to all my fellow classmates also taking this course to accomplish every goal they set out to reach! (:
The quiet and humble, Camisha S. Johnson :)
I knew you would enjoy this class. Professor Bailey is a wonderful instructor!!
