Hello,l I am an an African American 31 year old woman I have two daughters (7 &10) and I also will be relocating with my partner. I know that Arizona is where we are moving because she has a job offer their starting in June. I believe the job is it actually located in Glendale. I have read many negative things about Az not being for blacks but I have family in Tuscon, and they love it. I live in the suburbs near Philadelphia so I'm not worried about all black or all white or any color of skin. I do want to know about schools my daughters are cheerleaders and they also play sports. I love scenery and hiking also. I need to be around things like malls or restaurants, and things to do in general. We don't like to be bored. I'm also reading about the heat. I have lived in Florida and also North Carolina, and they had hot summers. People say they are no comparison. The cities that I have looked at that are at least 45 min from her job are Tempe, Glendale, Mesa, Laveen, and Awhawkee. Any feedback is appreciated.

You may ask a moderator to move this to the "Phoenix" sub-forum. You will get plenty of good advice there. I live too far away from Glendale to offer any good suggestions. However, OVERALL - as I think others will confirm - you will absolutely be able to find a nice place with good schools etc. in the area.

Did it for the OP. And ivoryc, you are correct to dismiss any possible problems you may have in Arizona based upon the color of your skin.
