Since the beginning of time, women have been mistreated and neglected, especially the black woman. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
As a society, we have put a massive amount of pressure on women to meet an unrealistic image of beauty. Sadly, that image rarely promotes black skin or culture as beautiful. Often left out, the representation of black beauty is vital for young black girls to believe that they too are beautiful and worthy of love. Alex Bolling, a senior sports administration major and business family studies double minor, has risen to occasion to share her experience about being a black woman in America. While cracking a few jokes on each other, we talk about everything from loving yourself to biases that both black men and women have on each other. Here’s proof that no matter how hard you tread, the black woman will always rise.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
― Maya Angelou, Still I Rise
