IN SEARCH OF OUR MOTHERS GARDENS BY ALICE WALKER

I COME OUT OF A TRADITION WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE VALUED, WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT A WOMEN WITH BIG LEGS AND HIPS AND BLACK SKIN. I COME OUT OF A BLACK COMMUNITY WHERE IT WAS ALL RIGHT TO HAVE HIPS AND BE HAPPY. YOU DIDN'T FEEL THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE YOU.THE VALUES THAT (IMPLY)YOU MUST BE SKINNY COME FROM ANOTHER CULTURE............THOSE ARE NOT THE VALUES THAT I WAS GIVEN BY THE WOMEN WHO SERVED AS MY MODELS. I REFUSED TO BE JUDGED BY THE VALUES OF ANOTHER CULTURE. I AM A BLACK WOMEN,AND I WILL STAND AS BEST I CAN IN THAT IMAGERY. DEBORAH CLARK
