Comparing Black women to children who need to be shamed, disciplined, or “beaten” into doing what YOU think is right tells me everything I need to know. Black women are grown adults. We do not need men policing our hair, our femininity, or how we choose to express ourselves. Especially when wigs, w

Watching people lose their homes, families, children, and lives should move you to compassion, not excitement because you think their tragedy means YOU are about to be rescued. The pre-tribulation rapture is a theological interpretation, not something scripture explicitly lays out the way many peo

No, I don’t think I’m right simply because I’m a Black woman. I think you should be able to explain why mocking Black women, using Blackness as a costume, and leaning on racist skits becomes acceptable just because the punchline is aimed at another marginalized group. You don’t get to use Black wom

Black women do not have to perform respectability every time we leave the house. Natural hair is beautiful, but uplifting it should never require degrading Black women who wear wigs, braids, sew-ins, bonnets, or any other style rooted in our culture and creativity. 🖤 #BlackWomen #NaturalHair

Fatphobia doesn’t just reach adults who can “get a trainer” or “go to the gym.” Kids are listening too. They’re learning which bodies are acceptable before they even have control over the food in their homes, their environment, or their relationship with their bodies. And whether we learned to hate

Being the “exception” to someone’s colorism does not mean colorism doesn’t exist. Being accepted because a colorist man finds you attractive while he degrades other dark-skinned women is not a win. It’s still colorism. Seeking validation from a man who openly disrespects women, including the very w

White people experiencing slavery does not erase or make equivalent the racialized, hereditary chattel slavery Black Americans experienced. The conversation isn’t about who suffered more. It’s about understanding how a system built around race, inheritance, and the destruction of identity can conti

Y’all, I love you DOWN 😭😂 but we are NOT fighting over the word “cis” in my comments anymore. It simply means your gender identity matches the sex you were assigned at birth. That’s it, sister! 😂 I blocked the word because we are not turning every conversation into a terminology cage match. PSA ove

Black women’s hair has NEVER been as simple as “you wear weave because you hate yourself.” That argument completely ignores the history of Black hair discrimination, assimilation, lack of representation, and the fact that the CROWN Act wasn’t even first passed until 2019. You can encourage Black w

This one is vulnerable because I’m genuinely exhausted. My video was NEVER about hating trans women, excluding trans women, or arguing that trans women aren’t women. Stop reducing my conversation to something I never said. I was speaking as a cisgender Black woman about why our bodies and embodi

Using my face to push a point I NEVER made, then blocking me so I can’t correct you, is beyond dishonest. My conversation was never “trans women aren’t women.” It was about refusing to erase cisgender Black women’s embodied experiences from conversations about womanhood, especially when our bodies

This is what being an ally actually looks like. Miss Rachel isn’t just saying the right things when it’s comfortable. She’s showing up, doing the work, advocating for children, and using her privilege even when speaking up could cost her. That shouldn’t be extraordinary. That should be the standard

An apology that still blames Black women for YOUR racism isn’t accountability. You saw a white woman make the video, but instead of addressing her, you went searching through the comments, found Black women, and decided THEY needed to be humbled. Nobody forced you to reach for racist stereotypes ab

Keke Palmer having Drew Afualo on her show after ALL of this discourse is… disappointing. There was a real opportunity to amplify the Black women, including trans Black women, who spoke up about how dismissive and harmful this conversation became. Instead, the microphone goes right back to the pers

The original video was made by a WHITE woman, yet somehow Black women became the lesson, the warning AND the comparison. 🥴 Using 4C hair, broad shoulders and Black girls’ bodies as evidence that you’re more “conventionally attractive” and therefore safer isn’t solidarity. That’s anti-Blackness dres

Brandon Tatum really said we need to “stop lying” to Michelle Obama about being attractive… then volunteered his OWN wife for the comparison. Sir. 😭 But the bigger conversation is how anti-Blackness gets packaged differently when the messenger is Black. It’s not just what you say. It’s how you say

Replying to @kaychanelle3 Y’all are so busy trying to catch a “gotcha” that you’re missing the entire point. I understood the satire. I also understood what came AFTER the joke. Discernment requires you to listen beyond the part that confirms what you already wanted to hear. And some of y’all will

Black women, PLEASE pay attention to who you’re applauding. A viral “transracial Black woman” satire might feel like it’s validating your concerns about cisgender women and womanhood… until you realize the person making the joke is also mocking Black people, George Floyd and BLM. You do NOT need ra

If your issue is the parenting, critique the PARENT. Black girls are already adultified and oversexualized at alarming rates. We do not need adults repeatedly plastering their images online and opening the floor for thousands of people to critique their bodies. Protect Black girls and young women o
