‘I don’t know a single black girl who’s carefree because it ain’t easy being a girl of color, period. God, I wish we were carefree. A lot of political things would have to dramatically change in this planet for a woman of color to be carefree. But I think what they mean by that is more of an aware black girl, a conscious black girl. The more conscious you are, maybe the less cares you have and maybe the more cares you have as well—it kind of goes hand in hand. Self-awareness and more self-love and also the ability to care for other black women. It has something to do with being politically aware of where you stand on this planet and I think it has to do with not accepting the definition that’s been given to you by designing yourself. I’ve always been a loud mouth that way. I’ve always been proud to be different, I’ve always stood out like a sore thumb and I always have not given a damn.’ -@creesummers I have such reverence for all the #CareFreeBlackGirls Who existed before it became a 'movement’ rife with flower crowns and a particular curl pattern. All it means is quirky. Alternative. And all that really means is we have a long way to go because any black girl who doesn’t love rap and present themselves as though they’re from 'the hood’ is deemed 'other’ as though blackness is a monolith. #CreeSummer4President #SuzieCarmichael #ADifferentWorld #NumbaFour #Classic #BlackDontCrack #BlackGirlMagic We trying every day to be #carefree but she hit the nail on the head. This is why we create our own spaces and even those are proof of the work that must continue. Keep unpacking and growing my people. Help create a world where every black girl can be a #CareFreeBlackGirl ✨ -- source link
