Because of Her…
Welcome to the "Because of Her" story submission page, a legacy-building project.
This is where we honor the remarkable Black women who have impacted our lives, shaping who we are and everything we will be.
Her story is a testament of Black women's influence, the magnitude of their impact and their immeasurable value and significance to Black history...US, American history.
There is no USA without us!
Share Her Story...your history
