Since starting NAAGA five years ago, I have seen many emerging trends within the firearms industry. Unquestionably, the expanding presence of black women is the most prevalent. Also, the growth of black women has been a significant factor within NAAGA. They are undoubtedly the “backbone & foundation” of our organization.
Without black women, we wouldn’t have the level of success nor deliver a balanced narrative within our communities relating to firearms. Women are presently taking the next steps to become firearms instructors, chapter leaders, and 2nd amendment advocates. They are feverishly networking with other black women about the benefits of firearms and firearms training.
In conjunction with being beautiful, smart, and independent, they too are talented. You now see black women competing in NSSF, GSSF, IDPA, and 3 Gun like never before. Nationwide, they are taking steps to create their paths. Additionally, significant firearms companies have taken notice and are developing ads using women of color. It’s no longer the traditional photo of white men.
To see a black female instructor teaching other black women is priceless. The bond between the women is instant. The “sista” connection is real, and the level of verbal and nonverbal communication is understood.
Let’s take a moment, to honor, support, and protect our women. Thanks to all the black women of NAAGA for entrusting your preparation to us.
When you educate a man you educate an individual.
When you educate a black woman you train a generation.

This is the same story we know about the Black Panther Party organization of the 60’s/70’s. Throughout history, from Queens Nzinga & Nanny, to Mama Winne Mandela, Miriam Makeba, and Assata Shakur, to Korryn Gaines, women have been the muscle and main nerve center of the Afrikan Struggle. They are historically, among the strongest and bravest of US. Pains me to say it (as a MAN, but its fact). I salute the Sisters! Brothers, let’s step up to do our part as primary protectors and hold these sacred creatures up – HIGH – where they belong!
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
