Women to Watch


Originally this post was supposed to be a showcase of other Lesbian Bloggers but no one submitted their sites so the post must go on. There are a few women who I feel deserve special recognition for their hard work and dedication to their crafts. 

Nandi Tahir of Three Little Birds Tees, in a society where African-American women are struggling to be recognized as an icon of beauty, Nandi has created an entire line of t-shirts dedicated to empowering African-American women. I own several of her tees, my favorite is the Black is Beautiful tee featured. In addition to tees Nandi has 100% authentic African earrings. Nandi is always coming up with new designs so please follow TLB on Facebook and purchase her inspirational tees. This is one purchase you won’t regret. FYI: if you’re local to the Philadelphia area visit her showroom located on 202 Long Lane, Upper Darby, PA

Teroya of Lady Bugs Forever, I’m all about empowering young women especially when there are so many negative examples out there. Teroya is a dear friend, mentor, and inspiration of mine so when she told me she was moving forward with her dream and vision of a non-profit organization to support and empower young women I knew glitter and gold were in the near future. Ladybugs Forever holds dear “the understanding that all young ladies want to feel welcome and wanted. We will give them a place to go forever and always. We will offer continuing career counseling into adulthood. Finding out what each member desires individually, and allowing them to express their goals to their peers and community. Keeping all parents of our members connected with what their daughter holds dear. Honoring the expressed wishes of parents to ensure their trust remains positive. Showing each member how to structure their own goals and follow them in accordance with what they expect for themselves. Closing the communication gaps within home and community by allowing each member to speak freely. Knowing that there may be incidents where our members could express things that are serious in nature, and assisting their family in dealing with that by proper referral. Helping to remind our members that with a positive, respectful approach you can relay any and all feelings properly.” Ladybugs Forever will be expanding with dreams of going nationwide. Donate and support the dream. 

Lesbian Love Advice/Lesbian LoveAdvice Singles, there are thousands of pages for lesbians on Facebook but LLA/LLA Singles are a cut above the rest. Two of the admins are my favorite, they asks relevant questions about dating and relationships, and post members questions for advice. Some admins keep it more interesting than others, but if you’re looking for a good Facebook distraction LLA/LLA Singles is the place to be.
