I loved this and just wanted to share it with people that might like it too.
"Yes, it is hard out there. But hard is relative. I come from a middle-class family, my parents are academics. I was born after the Civil Rights movement, I was a toddler during the women's movement, I live in the United States of America, all of which means I am allowed to own my freedom, my rights, my voice and my uterus.
Im a black woman every day, and Im not confused about that. Im not worried about that. I dont need to have a discussion with you about how I feel as a black woman, because I dont feel disempowered as a black woman."
It's so strong and positive. I wish we could see more of this.
