So much truth in this! What’s crazy is that as Black women, we face racism, sexism, colorism, body shaming...and the chain continues. It’s as if all parts of our identity are challenged to the point of us being invalid. Excited for the dive!

Exactly! I could not agree more. The list continues, and it's unfortunate. I'm glad that you shared your thoughts on this subject, and I'm looking forward to having you along with this dive!

Oh! Too much. Being a Nigerian, Black , Woman. These are all adjectives that are so deep and lead to quite a difficult life. Living in a world that expects you to be this way and that way, and just trying to figure out who you are on your own. It's a lot.

Wow. I agree, and I know how all those three are loaded terms too. Life itself is difficult, but adding these identities make the navigation a bit more complicated.
