In the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

I’m tired of having to reprogram myself against the false narratives and stereotypes that belittle Black women. I’m tired of living under the “strong Black woman” trope, and the microscope of Whiteness that constantly examines and criticizes who I choose to be as a Black woman.
