America is not kind to women who look like you; the women with earth tones.
America has raped and stolen from women who look like you; the women with earth tones.
We do not mean to leave you, we love our brothers and want them to be well.
And even though Black women are forced to mule and kickstand in our places of work, worship, and even in our own homes, we burrow down and anchor our hearts to the causes and people we love, because that is just what Black women do.
This is where we evoke truth: There is no amount of money, or education, or privilege in our collective Blackness that would stop what happened to you, from happening to any one us; women with earth tones.
