Women of African descent in AFROCyberspace.
In AFROCyberspace, you will met a lot of people; many of them will be women. Sometimes we forget or fail to acknowledge the many voices of Black women on the "information superhighway" -- more commonly known simply as the Internet, cyberspace or world wide web. As you traverse the many avenues in AFROCyberspace, be sure to contemplate the valued contributions of women of African descent who have added to the richness and increasing resources of the Internet. This is the true road to the future and an important link to our past. When we honor the memory of those who came before us, we improve our prospects for a brighter tomorrow. When we interact honestly and openly with our kindred around world, when we share our bounty and wisdom, nothing can alter the human civilization's destiny for greatness.
