Synopsis
After
nearly two decades of brutal civil war, Liberia was a
nation ready for change. In January 2006, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf
was inaugurated president, immediately earning a place in
history as the first woman ever elected president of an
African nation. Since her victory, President Johnson-Sirleaf
has appointed women to key positions throughout the
government. This diverse group, along with other women
across the country, has adopted their popular president's
nickname: They are the "Iron Ladies of Liberia."
The film follows the president and the extraordinary women
surrounding her as they develop and implement policies to
rebuild their ravaged country and prevent a descent back
into civil war.

15th
Anniversary of Black Love Day, February 13th!
"Raising the Love Vibration of Women"
|
|
WHAT
IS BLACK LOVE DAY?
BLACK LOVE DAY (BLD) is the 3rd nationally, commemorated African
American holiday (wholyday) observance of atonement,
reconciliation, celebration and 24 hour demonstration of Black
love, showing 5 Tenets (specific acts) towards the Creator, for
Self, for the Family, within the Black Community and for the Black
Race. Also in 24 hours, Whites show "love in action"
towards Blacks, atonement or introspection of their racial
attitudes and behavior.
BLD was founded in 1993 by Ayo Handy Kendi, founder/director of
the African American Holiday Association (AAHA). BLD is an
African-centered, alternative to the commercial Valentine's Day
with the spiritual goals of: encouraging: 1) Black self-love
instead of self-hatred; 2) increased peace to stop violence; 3)
racial healing to stop White supremacy/racism!
WHAT TO DO: Every Feb. 13th on BLD, People of African Descent show
love for 24 hours. We demonstrate the 5 Tenets of Black Love and
recommit to the Nguzo Saba, principles of love and unity for the
Black Diaspora. We display the "Akoma" an Adinkra symbol
of love, patience, goodwill, faithfulness & endurance. We give
the greeting, "Nya Akoma" (N-yah Ah-Coma) which means
"get a heart, be patient!" We celebrate with personal
love rituals, couple love-ins or community relationship
ceremonies. We buy conscious love gifts from Black merchants to
recycle Black dollars to love our communities, We read "The
Black Love Book" to inspire us toward love's healing power.
Beyond Feb. 13, we practice the principles of Black Love,
returning to love everyday to heal ALL our relationships and
better the planet!
2008 THEME: "Raising the Love Vibration of Woman, Raising a
Nation" to address the state of emergency of the Black
Family, through the solution of self-love within Black women.
