So many thoughts as I work on my personal project. One thought that’s been swirling around for a while now, even before this project, is: who protects Black masculine-presenting women and those who present similarly?The pillow reads “Protect Black Women.” But what does that protection look like when Black women don’t conform to what society expects of them? Wondering what an expanded vision of protection looks like. by @ruhamaiah
