Join Marquia, Ednesha, and Kim as they talk about Black History Month
- BHM was created to be the antithesis of who we’re told we are because we know we are more than how we are viewed in society.
The team answers some questions:
- Malcom X famously said “the most disrespected person in America is the Black women. The most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman. What does that quote mean to you? Do you see that being relevant in 2022 the same way it was in 1962?
- Who have been some famous black women that have demanded respect in our society that you appreciate? Ida b. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, Serena Williams (looks and body), Michelle Obama (looks), Tarana Burke (looks), Lizzo (weight), Simone Biles (mental health).
- How do we own our power when we are being diminished by others? Loving who we are, accepting compliments, acknowledging your talents and skills, creating spaces where we are prioritized and celebrated, and don’t internalize others' judgments etc.
- What are some ways to celebrate black women in general and especially the women in our families and communities during this month?
