I wasn’t in the writing mood during Black History Month but I’m Black every day so I’ve been celebrating for 35 years now. But for Women’s History Month I want to highlight dope Black women & dope shit they’ve said. Grab the graphics too for social media posts & be sure to tag my page @letsalleatsis!
- “Everyone in the community has a role to play in transforming our community. Everyone must ask themselves, what is at stake in these times?” – Bree Newsome
- “The thought of someone believing you deserve fewer rights because of who you are is depressing. But then you realize that, by doing what you do every day, you prove to them you are unstoppable.” – Amber Ruffin
- “Black women can do anything. We’ve proven that time & time & time again.” – Tarana Burke
- “You can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.” – Shonda Rhimes
- “I don’t have a feeling of inferiority. Never had. I’m as good as anybody, but no better.” – Katherine Johnson
- “Diversity is more than any one gender, race, or ethnicity. It’s richly representative of all people, all backgrounds, and all perspectives. It is the entire human experience.” – Denise Young Smith
- “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.” – Bozoma Saint John
- “It doesn’t matter what your background is or where you came from. If you have dreams & goals, that’s all that matters.” – Serena Williams
- “Most of all, what I’ve learned is I need to share what it is that I know. And it’s the whole reason I’ve done what I’ve done for as long as I’ve done it. It’s that I’m able to use what I know in order to help someone else grow.” – MC Lyte
- “I’m convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.” – Janet Jackson
