I’ll stand 10 toes down in saying that I believe that Black women are some of the most creative and intelligent human beings on Earth. Not all of us realize our potential, but I think each of us is capable of many things. The world will never acknowledge this, even if it will gladly steal and co-opt the fruits of our labor. We need to stop waiting for them to acknowledge us, frankly. It’s clear that the world will never be ready for us, and we may continue to be disappointed if we continue waiting for that.
