Intersectionality Whooping My Ass
Yall, being black, a woman and neurodivergent genuinely feels like going to war everyday. Everyday I have to arm myself and literally expect bullshit to happen… YALL IK IM NOT TRIPPING. You gotta have your hair done and if you don’t have your hair done your hair nappy. You gotta deal with random animosity from your coworkers bc of biases and preconceptions. Then you gotta deal with people literally treating you like shit because of your skin color. It’s like you’re inconvenienced at so many moments in your life. So much racial profiling and so many micro aggressions. What about getting dogged on in your own community by other women, by family, by men for your looks and/or personality if it’s the slightest of bit of distinct. So many things are demanded of you as a black women from different corners that it can feel like being stretched completely thin. Add any economic discrepancies, mental disorders, queerness, featurism, colorism, etc and GURLUH IT GENUINELY FEELS LIKE GOING INSANE SOME DAYS. I have adhd so I’m learning to regulate myself but the emotional toll of it all gets so overwhelming. I pray for my black women/fems/girls EVERYWHERE!!! WE SEE EACH OTHER. 😭😭😭
