    It was really a pleasure to meet the ladies, especially Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I believe that Black Women all over the world are truely special. I also believe that I begin to collect African Art because of such a strong representation of the Black Woman. Thanks

    I'd like to pass on my friendship and services to new black expats or black Americans working/living in Scotland as I have moved here permanently since the Summer 06. Please contact me at caribnlass@yahoo.com and I'd be happy to help those trying to adjust to life overseas.

    i think Zimbabwe is a great example of how to get white peopleout of africa. i think if the sistas unite we can get white people out of Europe too.

    Wow, this is a fantastic lens. I hadn't realized that Dianne Abbott was the first Black woman MP. I always feel the Brits are so far ahead of the US in matters of race, which in many ways they are. I'm adding you to my burgeoning lensroll because there's too much here for one sitdown!

    Great resource. How about covering Hirsi Ali's brief entry into Dutch politics?

    Thanks for a great lens. I was so happy to see Gloria Naylor's Women of Brewster Place on your book list. This is a book I loved many years ago, talked up, leant to someone, never ran across again, but never stopped talking about either. I've added it to my Amazon wish list. Yipee!

    wow, what a fantastic lens! the Global Fund For Women might have a new HQ on Squidoo soon-- keep your eye out for them if you're interested. i think they would really like your lens, too.

"My wife and I are moving to Scotland (Glasgow) in July and will be there for a year on business. While I'm a white guy from the Midwest who grew up in Texas and should have fewer problems, she's a black woman who grew up in Harlem. I've been looking around for expat sites in general but had an eye specifically on resources for black women (from support groups to contacts to ideas for hair
salons...). I'd love to put her in contact with you but first was wondering if you knew of anybody up in the northern U.K. we might get to know.

Thanks, and great site!

Simply fabulous! Men can find much needed information and insight on this site as well. What a great idea and adventure for you. I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work. I think you are on to something that keep the expatriots of the African diasporia tightly woven in foreign lands.

Cheers,

woman, but a black man. Raised in Tennessee and currently living in New York.
Are there groups out there for Blacks that live or want to live in Europe? Thank
you for providing your website information. Thank you. Stefan." --Stefan
