The Eve Gene
Black women are the blueprint. Science proves that the Mitochondrial Eve, the mother of all humans, was an African woman. While all humans carry traces of her DNA, African women have more direct and diverse mtDNA lineages than non-Africans because their ancestors experienced fewer mutations over time. Black women, particularly those from Africa, have thee most unaltered genetic connection to her due to their deep-rooted genetic diversity.
When my cousin was in the NICU, the doctor and an older white nurse told my cousin that Black children born as preemies are always healthier and get out the hospital at a documented faster rate than other babies, and that Black girls graduate the NICU the fastest and the healthies over the Black male babies. It’s LITERALLY in us, and the healthcare industry knows it and has seen and documented the awe of our genes.
When they say "she get it from her Mama", believe that!
God truly does give his toughest battles to his toughest people, bc had we been any other group of people, we would've been extinct.

In May 1910, Rhoda Jones was photographed standing outside her cabin near Ripley, Ohio, accompanied by her loyal dog. At the time, she was the oldest surviving resident of Africa, a remarkable settlement of free African Americans founded on the hillside above Ripley. This small but determined community had long been known for its involvement in the Underground Railroad, and Rhoda herself played a critical role in aiding enslaved people seeking freedom. As they crossed the Ohio River from bondage in Kentucky, she and others like her offered shelter, guidance, and hope on their journey north.
Rhoda’s life was deeply woven into the fabric of one of America’s most important resistance movements. Her home, modest and sturdy, was likely one of many stops that provided not only physical refuge but also a powerful symbol of what freedom could look like. Her presence in that photo is a testament not only to her longevity but to the strength and courage of those who quietly changed history from the margins. Women like Rhoda didn’t just witness the struggle for liberation—they lived it, shaped it, and ensured its survival through acts of everyday bravery.
Her story, captured late in life, stands as a powerful reminder of the human faces behind the Underground Railroad. Rhoda Jones represents countless others whose names may be lost to time but whose actions shaped the course of freedom in this country. In her gaze and her stance beside her cabin, we see not only a survivor but a guardian of history—one who refused to stand still while others suffered, and whose legacy still echoes along the banks of the Ohio River.

Caption From @ essenceofblackculture on instagram:
Kristi Williams
@kristi_williams_black_history, a Black woman whose aunt survived the Tulsa Massacre, saw Oklahoma trying to silence Black history-and answered with action. She started "Black History Saturdays," free community classes to teach what the schools won't.
Now the room is full, the lessons are real, and the legacy lives on. end caption
____________
This is a heroic feat that shouldn’t be needed. But because it is, a hero emerged.
