Y'all do not understand how much I missed @BlackGazePod! 1/3 of the way through Episode 1 of Season 2 -- Protect Black Womxn. @dr_s_bertrand & @DrPorcher bringing it again! Also, shout out to @MauricePorcher for the sound effects. The claps though 👏👏👏 1/
Also, got me wondering, has @DrPorcher given me a nickname? Do I need to rethink our relationship? 🤔 @BlackGazePod #BlackGazePodcast 2/
This episode is just so powerful. Centering Black womxn means accepting & affirming ALL that they are: the brilliance, power & drive, but also the softness & humanity #ProtectBlackwomxn #BlackGazePodcast @BlackGazePod 3/
.@dr_s_bertrand bringing through the erasure of violence against Black womxn including #RekiaBoyd #SandraBland #BreonnaTaylor. Come through, Dr. B. Speak this truth. Everyone really needs to listen to this powerful episode 4/
Then, @DrPorcher bringing forth victim blaming of Meg Thee Stallion -- Who is standing up for Black womxn? Black womxn. But, the violence continues. Also dropping powerful reminders, we need to stand up for one another. She is both/and 5/
"And we cute" -- @DrPorcher ❤️😂 She speaks truth though. #Blackgazepodcast @BlackGazePod
.@dr_s_bertrand speaking more truth -- Black womxn do ALL THE THINGS, do them well, and don't get credit for any of these things. Instead, they are seen as threats. @BlackGazePod 7/
Preaching points time from @DrPorcher: 1) Name Black womxn/girls 1st, put pressure on those that are violent aga them. Start w/ them; 2) Encourage & elevate Black womxn & girls. Follow the blueprints of womxn like Angela Davis, bell hooks, @RuizSealey @GholdyM @aprilbakerbell 8/
Ooh, I heard that shout out to me about white proximity❤️😭 (Am writing about that today) 9/
Back to preaching points by @DrPorcher : 3) Make space for ALL of who Black womxn are; provide space for Black womxn/ girls to ask for what they need; 4) Allow for Black womxn to show up on a spectrum -- there's room for Black womxn of all kinds 10/
More preaching points by @DrPorcher: 5) Learn from Black girls/womxn -- center their knowledge & genius and 6) Let Black girls/womxn LEAD!!! 11/
.@dr_s_bertrand & I are both floored by @DrPorcher's #blackprint to protect Black womxn. 👏👏👏Get the Pastor some water! 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you, @BlackGazePod! I see you!! 12/
