Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
I do believe in miracles and I am the one indeed; water falls of regrets no more sullied these eyes!
Felt isolated loveless because I believe in this I don’t want to change for them, you, or anyone I love myself the way I am! fat, dark, disfigured or thin like melting butter on a warm bread. I want to live first the way I have been born. You said this and that growing up I thought everyone is not a liar if I am black I ain’t no normal I wear a crown of thorns of taunts and not ready to flaunt In fear I tried, applied creams and serums, Yet my melanin was stubborn as a charcoal spot on a pedestrian. I had no shame but not a warrior too, Every time, I had grafted a new hope I was given facials and traumatic ways of improvement and scopes, My pain was for sale to which I had no one to barter I was dark and so inexpensive no one wants to grab I wanted to slit at once in die and reborn, Or wanted to rewrite my stars Hell no!!! why I am like them? I do believe in miracles and I am the one indeed. Water Falls of regrets no more sullied these eyes! Oh lord! What you gave I will retain, As what was given as here we shall keep…

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
