Women are no longer being defined by where they were born or their colour. That's huge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am interested in people living in the margins of society, and I do have a mission to tell the stories of women of colour in particular. I feel we've been present throughout history, but our voices have been neglected.
Women aren't as mere as they used to be.
I think culturally, even if you just talk about it in context, the standard of beauty has not included women of color. Period. Not just black women. If you are not a certain thing, there has not been space for you.
It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
All women, and men of color - we were owned like tables and chairs. We spent a hundred years getting a legal identity as human beings. That's a big thing.
Life on the planet is born of woman.
Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.
We're still expected to color within the lines of accepted femininity, and women who step out of those lines are usually attacked, whether verbally or physically.
It's incredibly hard out there for women of color.
Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.
