"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: ...a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

EVERY SEASON NEEDS FAITH TO GET US THROUGH IT!

Last month, I introduced many of you to “Happy Black Girl Day!”, a holiday created by Brooklyn diva extraordinaire and fellow blogger Sister Toldja. This once-a-month holiday allows us to take a break from the constant media assault on Black women and celebrate the sisterhood with showers
of positivity. The way I choose to celebrate HBGD is by highlighting
an extraordinary and prototypical Black woman.

April’s Prototype: Congresswoman Donna Edwards, Representative for Maryland’s 4th District

When I met Congresswoman Edwards at a Christmas party in 2009, I was immediately struck by her optimism in the face of such partisanship and political ugliness surrounding all things Obama, and to a lesser
degree, all things Democratic. With passion radiating from her being,
we talked of the stimulus package, the bailouts, and of course, the
hottest topic of the year, health care reform. At a time when the
possibility of real reform seemed fleeting, she was convincingly
confident that Obama would sign comprehensive reform into law soon:
“These are all things that need to be done for the American people, and
we’re going to get it done.” And just a few short months later, they
did.

It is obvious that Edwards loves what she does. So when she graciously granted me an interview recently, the first question I asked her was: When did you fall in love with politics?
