Reclaiming Divine Femininity: Moving Beyond Feminism’s Limitations
What has and will always be comprised of Black women is Divine Femininity. Divine Femininity at its core is a spiritual, energetic, and ancestral concept that focuses on the innate power, wisdom, and grace of the feminine essence. It is about alignment with nature, intuition, receptivity, nurturing, and the embodiment of soft strength. Unlike feminism, which is a social and political movement, Divine Femininity is an internal transformation that prioritizes self-sovereignty, harmony, and spiritual balance.
We have seen a re-emergence of Divine Femininity in the Black woman community with the natural hair movement to now with the Soft Life Movement where Black women are rejecting struggle and embracing ease, rest, and luxury as a birthright, they are prioritizing love and marriage and choosing to embrace traditional courtship and high-value partnerships. More and more Black women are turning to ancestral wisdom, divine feminine energy, and spiritual practices to redefine their roles in relationships and society with acceptance of ATR (African Traditional Religion). However modern-day society still actively fights against feminism which never truly included Black women and openly often rejects Divine Femininity altogether. Advocators for Divine Femininity like Shera Seven, Jaelyn Brunson, and even myself are constantly being fought against because Feminism has glorified hyper-independence as the ultimate goal for women, pushing the idea that a woman must be entirely self-sufficient and not “need” a man. Traditional feminine qualities like nurturing, homemaking, beauty, sensuality, and receptivity are often framed as “patriarchal traps” rather than sacred, divine attributes. Feminism encourages hypersexuality under the banner of "sexual empowerment" but often removes the sacred and spiritual aspects of feminine sensuality. Feminism has historically been a white woman’s movement that often ignores the intersection of race, class, and cultural differences. So while it provided Black women with tools, it also distanced them from traditional, community-based, and spiritually aligned ways of living. Now, the new era of Divine Femininity allows Black women to reclaim softness, interdependence, and spiritual empowerment—not as a rebellion against feminism, but as a return to their true essence.
🌸 How Black Women Can Stay Balanced in Divine Femininity Despite Modern Feminism
1. Embrace Soft Strength, Not Hyper-Independence
✅ Be open to masculine support (protection, provision, leadership) while keeping your self-sovereignty.
✅ Allow yourself to receive—whether it’s help, love, or abundance. Feminine energy does not chase—it attracts.
✅ Understand that softness is power and does not make you weak.
🔸 Affirmation: I am a divine woman. I attract what I need with grace, ease, and wisdom.
2. Prioritize Spiritual & Ancestral Wisdom
✅ Feminism is political, but Divine Femininity is ancestral. Connect with the wisdom of the Black women before you.
✅ Meditate, pray, and honor the sacred feminine energy within.
✅ Balance your feminine & masculine energy within yourself instead of being forced into one extreme.
🔸 Practice: Create a divine feminine altar with elements that connect you to your spirit (roses, candles, crystals, ancestral photos, sacred oils).
3. Reject Feminism’s View of Femininity as Weakness
✅ See nurturing, homemaking, beauty, and softness as divine gifts, not limitations.
✅ If you choose to be career-driven, do it from a place of joy, not societal pressure.
✅ If you choose to be a wife/mother, do it because it aligns with your divine nature, not because society demands it.
🔸 Affirmation: My femininity is sacred. I embrace my divine nature with confidence and grace.
4. Protect Your Sacred Sensuality
✅ Reject casual encounters that drain your spirit. Your womb and energy are sacred.
✅ Embrace sacred sensuality (dance, self-care, self-adornment, sacred intimacy).
✅ Remember: Feminine energy is not about pleasing men—it is about embodying your divine essence.
🔸 Practice: Engage in sensual movement (belly dance, yoga, slow stretching, baths with rose petals) to honor your body’s sacred nature.
5. Cultivate Wealth & Abundance in a Feminine Way
✅ Instead of just “working harder,” focus on alignment, attraction, and receiving.
✅ Use feminine wealth-building strategies like entrepreneurship, investing, and passive income instead of burning out in masculine hustle culture.
✅ Be open to being provided for (whether by a husband, family, or divine blessings) without guilt.
🔸 Affirmation: I attract wealth, success, and abundance with ease and grace.
🌺 Final Thought: The Divine Feminine Renaissance
Black women do not have to reject feminism entirely—instead, they can take what serves them and discard what does not.
🌸 Feminism fights for external change.(that does not have Black women first in mind)
🌸 Divine Femininity cultivates internal power.
To stay balanced, Black women should:
✅ Embrace their natural femininity without shame
✅ Reject feminist ideologies that dishonor the sacred feminine
✅ Prioritize self-sovereignty, spiritual wisdom, and soft strength
