Thank you for this powerful article. There are many obstacles in place in this country to thwart the progress and diminish the self-esteem of Black women. The sooner we understand all the trouble people in power have invested in making sure we don’t see our worth, the faster we will understand that it is US who hold the real power. No one worries about anyone they can control. If we tap into our gifts passed down from the Ancestors, we would be limitless. I’m excited to read more of your work, my sister 💜
