Black Woman Appreciation - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
As a black woman,
I’m tired of having to explain or express my trauma to people just for them to say i’m lying about it or to make me feel like it’s my fault that it happened.
I’m tired of having to make my personality smaller or water myself down outta fear of being labeled as ghetto, loud, extra, etc.
I’m tired of having to be the bigger person even when people disrespect me or treat me in a way that I feel is unfair because then if I express anger or disdain with someone/something, then I immediately become a stereotype.
I’m tired of being abused or assaulted mentally, verbally, sexually, financially and spiritually by men, especially black men.
I’m tired of being thrown aside as a last choice but then being expected to step to the front lines and fight for everyone else when they don’t give a damn about me.
I’m tired of having to work 10x harder than my non black counterparts just to get less than half of the same benefits/pay.
I’m tired of always having to be strong and have my guard up when I just want to be able to relax, be stress free and be taken care of for a change.
honestly, i could go on and on but I’d be here for days.
in black and white, my sisters will always be my favourite muses. thankful for the magic that is them 🪽
with love,

I don’t know how many times I’m going to see “oh The Acolyte should continue because we want to see Qimir.” First things first, no it cannot continue. I don’t understand why people are not getting that the Acolyte is about Osha. We all saw what happened in the last episode. This is HERStory!!!
I get it. Qimir is a very popular character. I’m proud that Manny really embodied that role. However, what we are not going to do is erase Amandla’s efforts of playing Osha and Mae. I’m so sick of people trying to ignore her efforts. Y’all are basically enabling black women erasure. I do not find this okay at all.
Manny said he could not have done this without Amandla. I wish people would understand that. If they ever try to bring back Qimir in any way, then I’m not watching if Amandla is not present (or any of the cast and crew which includes Manny and Leslye). Because what we are not going to do is erase Amandla from her own show. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
