We see you.
Not with malice.
Not with envy.
But with ancient knowing.
We know when something in the milk ain’t clean
We know when a movement carries rot at the root.
I’ve been sitting with something heavy. It’s uncomfortable, but so is silence. So here it is.
We know when a movement carries rot at the root.
I’ve been sitting with something heavy.
It’s uncomfortable — but so is silence.
So here it is.
There’s a kind of hate that floats quietly in spaces that say all the right words.
It wears the right buttons.
It uses the right hashtags.
And still — it hates Black women.
It’s not new. The idea that Black women are “too much” — too loud, too angry, too visible — that’s been around forever.
But what’s shocking is how casually those ideas get recycled in rooms full of people who swear they’re against racism.
Suddenly, it’s progressive to strip Black women of our language, our history, our biology, our right to define ourselves.
When Black women speak about our lives — not anyone else’s, just ours — we get told we’re hateful, we’re violent, we’re in the way.
But we’re not in the way.
We are the foundation.
🕯️ The Rot Hiding in “Liberation” Spaces
Even in spaces that claim to be about freedom, identity, and healing —
you’ll find the same old scripts.
Dressed up different.
But still familiar.
Again and again, I’ve watched how Black women get flattened, mocked, and erased
by people who claim to be pushing for liberation.
What kind of freedom is that?
You don’t get to fight for some of us by stomping on others.
You don’t get to shout “inclusion” while shutting the door on Black women — the same women who’ve carried movements, raised generations, and fought for people who now refuse to even see us.
🕊️ Sacred Truth
You cannot liberate yourself by desecrating the altar of Black womanhood.
You cannot fight for the future while spitting on the women whose prayers built the road you’re walking.
Do you think our ancestors bless movements that dishonor their daughters?
✨ Final Truth
If your movement leaves Black women behind,
it’s not justice.
