hands down my favorite part of the Black Panther movie was watching the Wakanda warriors.  viewing the fierceness of those goddesses gliding across the screen was pure magic.  

i loved that they exuded femininity without being overly sexualized. they draw upon their physical and mental strength. they showed their humanity as well as power. multi-dimensional, soulfully led and wickedly brilliant; all qualities one would expect from an armed force led by women.  

$800 million and counting in profits means Black Panther has lit up minds of many people world wide to seeing what women warriors could look like.   i say we move from imagining to making it real.  wakanda warriors, stand up!
