My African mama and her garlic, onion, and lemon detox (gross but always works).

something that's been on my mind for a while is how a lot of people, mainly white women, think billie eilish's decision to wear baggy clothing n not sexualise herself is revolutionary but when it comes to brown / Muslim women using the same logic in which to cover themselves it's not considered so (and that's no shade, like I love billie but like)

white women who choose to dress modestly are empowered, brown women who choose to dress modestly are oppressed. it’s actually very belittling bc it’s implied white women are smart enough to make their own choices about how they dress, but the muslim woman must be indoctrinated and can’t think for herself

+ black / black muslim women as well
