You have such a way with words and your articles NEVER disappoint. Loved this and can totally relate to this from another perspective. I always get people telling how it feels to be a Black woman (and by people, I mean White men...lol) and my inclination is always to say, "Thank you so much for finally helping me to understand how it feels to be me after 51 years of living. I'm so thankful to FINALLY understand my own brain and emotions!" And your line about not giving away your power is PRICELESS. Those are words for all women to live by.
