Is there something you wish people understood about Black Mamahood?

Someone called me bitter today but we take in a lot of bullsh*t.

We take so much weight on our shoulders from when we are little girls. Black women are like the axis that earth rotates on. We are the ones who support and keep everything going in society. Everywhere you go, Black women are the axis of humanity raising our children, other people’s children, doing the grunt work and keeping things going. This is what Mamas Day needs to emphasize. Black women are the strength that built this world.

From little girls, just trying to be pretty as a Black girl in America that is so harsh on Black women. Many of us are treated poorly by men and even our mothers because of generational stuff. We are not bitter, we are tired and over it.
