statement. what is the point here?

The mission of Womanist Today is to promote a positive yet nurturing lifestyle for women primarily through art, education and an array of shared experiences with our network of women who believe that change begins at the core foundation: The Home. Through the arts and communication we aim to liberate ourselves spiritually, with art; mentally, with education; emotionally, with honesty; physically, with love!!!

Ideas we have:
•Share this knowledge with those across the board. Of course womanism would not exist without feminism, but it is the evolved movement.
•As much as we encourage "girl power," womanism is not a movement that seeks to model the patriarchal system of our country. Nor do we intend on creating a division of matriarchal schemes. A womanist is to a feminist, as a caterpillar is to a butterfly.
•We don’t seek to have pompous worlds of academia attitudes (we aim to keep this blog at middle school reading level!)
Domestic Divas! Roles at home!

Questions that Arlene/Katie will answer in the future:
•What is a womanist?
•Who coined this term?
•What does it mean today?
•Why is womanism important?
•How can joining this movement change the lives of young women? (Taking initiative. Caring for our homes, our families and our community)

This blog will deal with what it means to be a womanist. A person who starts at the most crucial foundation: the home.
