Whats all this about?

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! A lot of times in media we see black women portrayed in negative ways whether it be the “bitter, angry black women” or they are objectified and hyper sexualized. This depiction of us is not anything new, in my media and feminism class, we read the article “I used to be your sweet mama” by Angela Davis that shows the many struggles black women faced. So with this blog, I wanted to create posts that show women represented in the right way. I believe the women I mention below helps to create the representation I want to see in the media that will inspire young black woman.  The title For Us By Us is to show our stories, our culture through our lens. One that’s realistic and non problematic.
