anti-blackness is everywhere. even as a mixed black woman ive experienced anti blackness & colorism on both sides of my own family. people would fawn on me as a kid because I was the “right” shade & in their next breath be rude to my brother cause he was darker. it’s disgusting.

being black in America (or anywhere) is exhausting. My people are dying for nothing. I’m sad, I’m angry, i want justice.

people don’t realize how much using your voice to advocate for us really matters. Me being light skin I have my own set of privileges that dark skinned black people don’t possess & I use my voice there. Colorism is so rampant in so many communities and to ignore it is wrong.
