Volume 1, Issue 3 & 4 - Diverse Voices Quarterly

In the years since then, I’ve learned it no longer matters whether I measure in at
40C or 36 DD, the word ACCEPTANCE is now tattooed on my brain. Jackets and loose
blouses have become this woman’s best friends.
I want to be certain I have not left those of you just entering the so-called “drop
zone” with a feeling of hopelessness. Bra technology is working its way to the forefront.
I recently came across an article about a new bra shop opening in Atlanta called “Not
Your Daughter’s Bra,” or was it “Not Your Mother’s Bra?” Anyway, these new styled
brassieres are guaranteed to lift 20 years off your bustline. Invoking the memory of
Josephine, I say, “We fought for the vote. We fought for equal rights. Maybe the time
has come to collectively fight for comfortable bras!”
