Not halves to be prioritized.
Not parts to be muted so others feel whole.

We do not live our lives in sections—
race on one day, womanhood on another.
Our experiences arrive together,
move together,
press on us together.

Asking Black women to choose which part matters more
is not clarity.
It is distortion.

We are whole human beings navigating real systems,
right now,
that respond to us as whole human beings—
even when those systems do harm.

Black women are not fragments.
And no movement built on our division can ever be complete.
