It's true. Black women are great warriors and strategists. We come from cultures that are filled with love, compassion, and resilience. People around the world have always had needs, but so do we.  

"Mammyism"  That's a term I am hearing more and more often.  "Mammyism" is the demand for Black women and Black girls to do more while continuing to accept that they will get less. One of the major tenets of Mammyism is that Black women and Black girls labor for people who have no intention, and therefore no plan to labor for us in return.

When we say that I want everyone to be safe, healthy, and get all of their financial needs met, I mean Black women too.

Historically and right up until this very minute, society has always told Black women & Black girls that we have no right to boundaries, consent, & our own individual feelings and perspectives around sex and sexuality. The video/event at WI Spa was no different.

What about a Black woman's rights?

What about a Black woman's boundaries?

Are we just okay with a white man asserting that she must be exposed to that that she doesn't want to be exposed to?

Notes from this episode:

A child who grows up in a home having healthy limits will also learn to apply such boundaries in his own life.

What Does “Boundary” mean? A boundary signifies a limit that a person has.  Can be physical or emotional.

 Boundaries are like contracts, “I won’t do anything to harm you” and “I expect you not to do anything to harm me.

When you’re raising kids to have healthy boundaries, it’s important to allow the children to have and express their own feelings.

The best way to teach children healthy boundaries is for parents to have healthy boundaries themselves and to model them in the home.

Showing respect for each person in the house, 

ensuring everyone has rights to their feelings and 

appropriate expressions of them, 

and talking openly and honestly about any challenging issues demonstrate healthy boundaries for children.
