To all those who ask me "how do you deal with all this", can I finally admit that it actually is extremely hard to always have to be the one that Fights, knowing that no one else is going to do it for me? 😅 Sometimes I think y'all see me as that Strong Black Woman, and y'all hold me to higher standards.
I have feelings, too. I am a human being.
I don't want any more apologies for the racist experiences I go through. What I want, is to feel safe.
I want my society to be safer, for my people. Or at least for people to know it should be.
But if I can't have that safety without fighting for it- unless any of you wanna step into the ring- allow me to feel what I'm feeling and to regenerate when I need to. No, we don't get 24/7 access to me to address everyone else's needs no matter what; I am accessible when I can be, and that's okay. Please and thank you. 🙏🏾
And yes, share this. I said what I said.
