For centuries, when it's come to speaking to the rights and needs of women, what has been looked as the face of the demographic is that of a white woman. We see it often when there is a cause that is at the forefront, or more commonly, some sort of legislation coming forward that would affect women. While white women face the varying levels of oppression, to be intentional about the message, and what's needed for true liberation, the voice that's heard the most should be that of a Black woman. Black women will meet at every intersection of identity under the umbrella that is women. And part of the act of liberation is being intentional in the fight for it, and that calls for making the most marginalized voices the loudest.
Listen to Black women, and truly LISTEN to Black women. Listen to what we say, listen to why we say it, and understand why we say it.
Liberation for Black women is truly liberation for all.
