Pits and Tits

“The black woman is demanding a new set of female definitions and a recognition of herself of a citizen, companion and confidant, not a matriarchal villian or a step stool baby-maker.”- Linda LaRue

My Blackness and my Womanhood are inseparable. 

Too often when dealing with issues that affect women, I encounter racism or a willful ignorance to the issues facing me as a minority.

When fighting racism, my community encourages me to stand behind and uphold my men even when they do not support or protect me or my rights as a woman.

I demand recognition and equality for everything that I am: Black and female. 

I am Black feminism.
