exhausted.

This week I have seen so many news articles and social media posts degrading and demoralizing Black women and it’s infuriating. From the bonnet debate to demonizing plastic surgery to questioning if a Black athlete should wear wigs and nails. The policing of Black women bodies, preferences, personalities, etc. is reaching a point of ridiculousness…we can’t say, do, think, or express ourselves without someone writing a think piece!

I could continue to write a lengthy caption refuting the unfair criticism, constant respectability politics, and outright hatred (despite the constant imitation👀), but that would be giving my energies to folks who absolutely do not deserve any acknowledgement. So, I’ll just say:

Dear Black women…make sure to take a moment or more to show yourself and our fellow sisters some love today because we deserve.
