The Disenfranchisement of Women in American Ideology
Women as a collective are completely overlooked as it pertains to skill in American society. Especially black and brown women of color who have to go twice as hard as their white counter parts to even land jobs in American society. This disenfranchisement goes back generations and has been fought against for generations. Today we need to start and push the revolution toward advocating more for our women’s inclusion into male dominated roles. These are the real grounds for creativity and will ultimately maximize the content we create and put out. Media, podcasting, sports, television, anchors, modeling, public speaking… is all examples of jobs women are kept away from or told they cannot be apart of.
Connecting this problem with our youth
We often go throughout life doing and saying things we’ve learned throughout our upbringing. The problem of disenfranchisement of our women within American society as been present within our communities for some time now. With phrases like “you throw like a girl” or “you run like a girl” or “you’re a girl what do you know” or “girl don’t play basketball/football” or “volleyball is for girls, it’s a girl sport” etc. As we grow up and hear/use things... phrases like this it literally puts a girl in her place. Hearing those things enables thoughts of doubt and the belief that she cannot do what she wants to do.
Reversing and eliminating this problem
Be you. And teach the youth as a collective to be authentically them. Overstand that whatever you discover your calling to be is not subject to your gender or what people think. We all have a calling and it is up to us to identify that calling and fulfill it within our lifetime. If fulfilling it means you may lose some friends or even family then that’s a sacrifice you should be willing to make. As people we have to stand behind our young queens as they identify what their calling is and move toward fulfilling it. Don’t allow your own biases to dictate how you motivate the youth you service or just come in contact with. Empower them through creative approaches while reaffirming them that they are worthy of whatever their calling is no matter what society says.
