"Part of why it is hard to trust black women is bx our values are antagonistic to the order in which we live. The clarity of black women's voices is at odds with the values that ground the project." -Saidiya Hartman @AAPolicyForum

“Racism and racial inequality have substantial consequences on the health of Black women and mothers — with the clearest manifestation being the “never-ending hypervigilance” that we need to survive in a society that was founded on our subjugation.” vox.com/first-person/2020/5/…

Don’t ask a Black woman doing the work if you can “pick her brain” and steal her ideas to further your own research. That’s colonization. Decolonization gives back the power to control the narrative and tell stories. #APHA2019 #BFresearch

Unfortunately, children of darkness are often far more diligent than children of light.
Let’s change that.
