What I found interesting is not that they are black or women, in the traditional media role, but that they didn't listen to all the voices that probably told them, "You can't do that, the man won't let you".

For that reason alone I hope they are providing some sort of inspiration to other young folks of any gender or color who may dare to dream beyond the box they were born into. These women represent the exact opposite of the character and class confinement promoted by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the rest.

"You can't do that, the man won't let you".

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." - Booker T. Washington
