Do we pacify societal trauma inflicted on little Black girls by labeling them
#resilient
?
Calling us w/ age,“
#StrongBlackWomen
”, as if it didn’t cost us our peace, joy, and longevity of life to survive that trauma.
Keep the title. I want my child to simply be a child.
What's the "cost" of raising a resilient Black child?
And why does perceived strength often come at a price?
