Let me tell you about this gem in Philly – The Colored Girls Museum. It's like walking into a soul hug from the past, present, and future, all at once. We rolled up there with our Sisterhood Sit-In Trolley tour, and honey, it was a vibe!
This place may seem tiny, but it's mighty in spirit. Imagine trying to squeeze our group of 20+ fabulous women into a space – it was tight, but it was right! Every corner of this museum is packed with stories, art, and the kind of energy that makes you wanna snap your fingers and say, "Yes, I see you, sis!"
The exhibits? Baby, they're not just exhibits; they're like pages from a diary we all share. Each piece tells a story of struggle, triumph, and everything in between. It's a celebration of our hues, our histories, and our fierce resilience. You feel the ancestors whispering in your ear, sharing wisdom and winks.
And the education? You come out knowing more about our heritage, our unsung heroines, and the art that speaks our truth. It's like a lesson in black girl magic, but make it historical and artsy.
So, in conclusion, The Colored Girls Museum? It's a must-visit. It's tight in space but limitless in its impact. You leave feeling seen, uplifted, and a part of something bigger. It's not just a museum; it's a movement. A beautifully crowded, soul-stirring, eye-opening movement.
Stay fabulous and keep exploring, sis!

I had the opportunity to visit The Colored Girls Museum, and it was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. This isn’t your typical museum—it’s an intimate, immersive space dedicated to celebrating the stories, history, and experiences of Black women in a deeply personal and thought-provoking way.
From the moment I stepped inside, I could feel the intentionality behind every exhibit. The artwork, artifacts, and narratives are beautifully curated, creating an emotional and inspiring journey through Black womanhood. Unlike traditional museums, this space feels like stepping into a home filled with living history—every corner tells a story.

Read moreAbsolutely incredible, unforgettable experience....this museum honors the lives and legacy of the "ordinary black girl"....meaning, not any particular celebrity, just black women and the culture they have created.
