My Black Is Beautiful is a talk show addressing Black Beauty today. Women of color this is your show. The show that tells and talks about the positive accentuations of Black women. The show is a Bet productions along with Proctor and Gamble sponsorship who is one of the biggest manufacturer of ethnic beauty products;specifically black beauty products.

Actress Tasha Smith from Tyler Perry's "Why did I get Married" is hostess of the show. She was joined by a panel of 5 other black women all with diverse beauty features and all very successful in their careers.

This was the first airing of a 4 part series. The theme or topic was "Defining Black Beauty". This is a subject I fell strongly about and in this weeks segment that's exactly what they did. Defined Black Beauty as only a woman of color would know about. This is our shining moment. Our shining moment of Black Beauty or Ethnic Beauty being in the spotlight has come. This is it so let's show some support by uniting together and supporting this tour of My Black is Beautiful.

They took us back to the time of Marilyn Monroe and all the glamour of days gone by. But now they talk freely about embracing black beauty and it's characteristics. They talked about the body. The curvaceous and exotic form that black women have. It was nice to hear other Black women talk about their bodies and who they are as being exotic. This brings us to recognize there really are some characteristics other than race that set women of color apart apart. It's not just about the color of skin but the whole body down to the toes and up to the hair. It's about self esteem, self confidence in your beauty and who you are as a contributing individual to the culture and society of people.

First Lady Michele Obama was interviewed as "Our Black is in the white house" as said by Tasha Smith. She gave a very intelligent and confident explanation of her ideals. First Lady Michele Obama has become the Black Beauty Icon and woman of the day for all Black women. Every Black woman can look to the white house and see a great African American Icon of family values and ideals.

They too all agreed that black beauty is very diverse even among ourselves They used words like defining Black Beauty. Black beauty is so diverse. To the many black women interviewed they said their Black Beauty is strong confident peaceful. And most of all it's being comfortable in our skin. It was said on the show that when we are comfortable in our skin we glow from the inside out and this is Black Beauty.

In defining Black Beauty it was also mentioned that we define our own beauty. It is our choice our preferences that make us beautiful. Just with a little help from make-up artist and various experts we can learn how to capitalize on that definition.

One thing they discussed that came to my attention was the big lips or full lips so many Black women have. Their statement was whether you have them naturally or not it all started with us the black women. Now you see plumping lip products to make them pout and full. African American is the new Black Beauty defined.

Black Beauty has influenced culture and style in some way. The contributions are many by ethnic beauty icons. And it was said that when we learn to embrace our feature's whatever they maybe we feel good about ourselves.

Define and embrace your best feature. Whether it's your eyes, hair or facial structure, even the color of your skin, lips or "booty" embrace your features and yourself. Know that you are the most exotic embodiment of beauty. Self esteem and self worth is everything to a Black woman.

And they ended with" Black is Back".
