Can A. Brown Girl Get Some Love?



Who or What is A. Brown Girl? © 2005
By Yolonda D. Coleman




Commercials, movies, television, magazines, videos have given us new trends for years. One comedian said, "Light skinned brothers are going to make a comeback." Whether you are light brown sugar, indigo, butter pecan Rican, or mocha cappuccino, you’re a brown girl. If you are single, married, fed up, laid up, laid off, knocked up, or just a hard working brown girl whose chick flick collection has become far too extensive, the Sister-Friend Network most likely has a story for you.
The concept of a Can A. Brown Girl Get Some Love? was derived from an over saturation of what is deemed beautiful and desirable by industry standards. If you’ve ever been insecure about your imperfection and tried to cover them up by only presenting your representative to those outside your home, ladies, take off your mask, take off your Lee Press on nails, take off your extended weave, and reintroduce yourself to the world. You are love because God is love and God don’t make no junk. So, shine, my sistahs and enjoy your journey.


A. Brown Girl is a traveler, a socialite, an observer. She is the person who asks a perfect stranger questions he never thought to consider. A. Brown girl says what others only think. She is the voice of liberation when one is on the journey to find self. Finding imperfections in herself and being okay with them, she writes to help those like her to begin to take steps in their own journey whether through the loss of a loved one, love, or just getting the best experience out of life.

A. Brown girl takes journeys from Boston to Mexico. One thing remains the same no matter where an airline takes her, life is worth watching. So don’t miss it. In these journeys, she logs her experiences and shares them with the Sistah-Friends network. In turn, they share their stories with her. Brown Girls of the world, this one is for you. Enjoy and may you have continued blessings in your personal sojourns.
