African American women & where do they stand?
AAA&CCC African American Arts & Culture
African American women across the nation where do they stand? If you haven't learned that (Black )African American women has many challenges. Let get started, about our health are we living longer? or do we need to know what’s going on with African American women health. Here’s what you need to no that African
American women has twice as likely to white women to have developed high blood pressure, sugar lupus diabetes heart disease and other major health problems. Health advocates are wrestling with a problem too often overlooked. What about being overweight or obesity skin problems. Are we not pretty enough for our black men? What about the jobs, are
we happy with our income? Is our young beautiful daughter ready for these challenges? Will she stand tall, healthy and strong and works hard, exercise and see her doctor each year for check-ups.

Women where do they stand! Women in this 21 century 72 percent of African American women is working and doing pretty good, its just when you want to go out or do something with self, you got to the spend money. Many African American women are continual to go to school and get an education but are having trouble with the grants in paying them back. Also women are looking younger and prettier the hair is the number one thing, we never forget about. Also our face, its got have make up a little foundation and something about them eye lasses just brings out the eyes. We like to smell good and dress nice, just in case you run into someone you know who always looks good. In keeping up our appearance for our man and your family, so that your man continual to respect you as a wife and the your children respects as you mom that’s where we stand. Being a single female parent; we go through many changes, some women have been single for many years and are not planning to have a relationship due to a bad experience. And many are looking to get married and start a new family and just love the one your with. Being a single mom is a lot harder taking care a family with out any support from the father. When children are small and you needs to go to the store, you have to take them with you from the car seat to store buggy that’s a lot of work and don't let one of the children get to crying its on, specially if you don't buy them something. Cooking dinner for the family each and everyday is hard too. Everyone is hungry and you must cook something and your tired and don't feel like it, that what we stand. Having control of our selves looking for happiness, we laugh and have fun getting out to have a good time is what help keep us going. Going to church is another enjoyable place to have a good time parsing the load. Being a woman is hard work when raising a family sending the children to school with decent clothing and money for lunch. Do you really have enough gas for the rest of the week to get to and from work. Are the children having problems at school, are they attending each day, do they have a respect for the teachers. Have you lost your job and not sure which way to turn, stand up be strong and ask for help pray to God he will see you through read the bible it helps, women where do we stand tell them we stand all over the world.

AAACCC 4th Annual Soul Food Festival Educational & Health Forum August 4th 2012 Downtown Stockton Ca. Thank God for soul food, the AAACCC has created this special event to bring out the community to an entertaining enjoyable event. The AAACCC has created this event as a fundraiser which turned out to be an annual event. Our very first year we were not sure that it would work, looking for a location, learning the cost of it all and the requirements. Our first year we were surprised that many people attended. We had very little funds and were not sure of the outcome. It was a long day and many vendors did well, with little advertisement and it was successful.
Our second year we tried it again, and it too, was a success and very limited funds. In our 3rd year the festival was well attended, with hundreds of people participating numerous food, and other vendors were on site, as well as entertainment.
We are planning our 4th annual Soul Food Festival, and we are looking at Weber Point event center downtown Stockton on Saturday August 4th 2012. 11:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. If you would like to become a vendor please call for applications and instructions. Theresa Saunders (209) 6883893, Zona Thornton (209)-4746575 or Lerline Kelley (209)612 -6693
