Y’all, I love you DOWN 😭😂 but we are NOT fighting over the word “cis” in my comments anymore. It simply means your gender identity matches the sex you were assigned at birth. That’s it, sister! 😂 I blocked the word because we are not turning every conversation into a terminology cage match. PSA ove

Black women’s hair has NEVER been as simple as “you wear weave because you hate yourself.” That argument completely ignores the history of Black hair discrimination, assimilation, lack of representation, and the fact that the CROWN Act wasn’t even first passed until 2019. You can encourage Black w

This one is vulnerable because I’m genuinely exhausted. My video was NEVER about hating trans women, excluding trans women, or arguing that trans women aren’t women. Stop reducing my conversation to something I never said. I was speaking as a cisgender Black woman about why our bodies and embodi

Using my face to push a point I NEVER made, then blocking me so I can’t correct you, is beyond dishonest. My conversation was never “trans women aren’t women.” It was about refusing to erase cisgender Black women’s embodied experiences from conversations about womanhood, especially when our bodies

Brandon Tatum really said we need to “stop lying” to Michelle Obama about being attractive… then volunteered his OWN wife for the comparison. Sir. 😭 But the bigger conversation is how anti-Blackness gets packaged differently when the messenger is Black. It’s not just what you say. It’s how you say

Replying to @kaychanelle3 Y’all are so busy trying to catch a “gotcha” that you’re missing the entire point. I understood the satire. I also understood what came AFTER the joke. Discernment requires you to listen beyond the part that confirms what you already wanted to hear. And some of y’all will

Black women, PLEASE pay attention to who you’re applauding. A viral “transracial Black woman” satire might feel like it’s validating your concerns about cisgender women and womanhood… until you realize the person making the joke is also mocking Black people, George Floyd and BLM. You do NOT need ra

Black women’s relationship to our bodies cannot be reduced to “patriarchy taught women that reproduction makes them valuable.” Our history also includes fighting for the right to have autonomy over our own bodies, to choose motherhood OR not, to build and keep our families, and to have our humanity

Black women talking about our reproductive bodies is not “centering men.” Our bodies have been a literal battleground for reproductive control in this country. Black women fought for the right not to have children AND the right to have them, which is why the Reproductive Justice framework matters h

Is cardi b black? Well she doesn’t seem to think so…. So why do black Americans want to force the black identity on her and many other celebrities and people who are multiracial? #blackwomen #blacktiktok #viraltiktok #blackhistory #blowthisup

As a Black woman and a womanist, I understand that oppression can shape an experience without owning it. Our bodies, our struggles, our joy and our resilience can ALL be part of our womanhood. ❤️ #Womanhood #Womanism #WomensRights #BlackWomen #GenderDiscourse

ER Fightmaster, don’t deflect. Pointing to racist or transphobic people doesn’t address the Black women and women of color actually criticizing what was said. My argument was never about invalidating trans women. It was about not invalidating cis women in the process of validating trans women. A

Replying to @shespeaks228 The problem isn’t acknowledging that some AKA chapters once had a certain “look.” The problem is romanticizing WHY that look existed while insulting the Black women who don’t fit it today. There were also AKA chapters full of dark-skinned, kinky-haired, fuller-figured Bla

Some traditions deserve to be preserved. Colorism, fatphobia, and exclusion are NOT among them. Why are we romanticizing a time when “having a certain look” could mean being thin enough, light enough, having the “right” hair, or fitting a narrow beauty standard just to experience sisterhood? Prog

My video was taken down for “hate speech” because I spoke about womanhood and defended women’s right to acknowledge our own lived experiences. This is exactly what I mean when I say women, and especially Black women, are expected to make room for everyone else’s perspectives while being punished t

Why does validating trans women have to come at the expense of invalidating cis women’s experiences? Womanhood is more than self-expression. Our reproductive health, medical discrimination, violence, oppression and lived experiences matter too. We can acknowledge different experiences without erasi

Black women are allowed to have boundaries without being assigned “homework” to make ourselves romantically available to everyone. Respect is a right. Romantic access is not. And comparing that to the colorism dark-skinned women experience completely misses the point. #BlackWomen #BisexualMen

Black men struggle with self hate and project that on to even little black girls… when does the colorism end? #blackwomen #blackgirltiktok #blackhistory #colorism #darkskin

Everything is not about respectability politics! #blackwomen #tuskegeeuniversity #hbcu #blacktiktok #blackculture
