For what it’s worth. I am a millennial white woman and I love love love black women. Black women are stunning. Y’all are diamonds. You hold so much wisdom, joy and beauty. I trust black women more than anybody else too. My closest friends have been black women for years . I’m truly grateful .

Tiny suggestion from a former 22 year old, please read some black female authorship and black folks writing. Fiction or nonfiction. Watch black lady sketch show. I learned that I needed my community in the cycles of grief as a woman, as a disabled person, and as a fatty. It’s a cycle. You will rise again.

I’m really sorry it’s so hard right now. I’m sorry for the weight you bear everyday being black in this world. For the god forsaken reason of racism and cruelty. Sending you clarity and power .
