The best thing about being a woman in 2021 is that, as women, we are standing together, uplifting and backing each other with movements such as #MeToo. We are recognising each other’s milestones, and this has allowed us to stand up together and have a stronger voice as a union. As a woman in 2021, I don’t feel entirely alone. The worst has to be gender-based violence.
Sisterhood means being in a space where there’s no male-figure validation but acceptance from someone who knows and can testify to what you’ve gone throughI love how this new generation is changing the status quo. The mindset adjustment comes with requiring men to not be entitled to us and our sexuality. As women, we need to allow ourselves to unlearn backward ways that seek to define who we are.
I don’t completely shut down the “strong black woman” narrative. I say be balanced, be strong, and express your authentic self. In life, we don’t function with just one emotion and don’t resolve every situation we go through in one way only. We respond differently depending on the ordeal or experience. Sometimes we are strong, and other times less so. Let’s take the “black” out of it.
