The resilience you all expect of Black women is outdated. And once we celebrate her confirmation, I hope we also all think about how we can support Black Women that want to lead without trauma involved. That’s true #JusticeForAll
“She handled herself gracefully despite the verbal attacks.” “ She maintained her composure despite the disrespect.” Why are we celebrating this? Why are we not interrogating the fact that such abuse is allowed to happen in this process in the 1st place?
I dream of a future where a woman like #KetanjiBrownJackson can have a hearing without abuse. My dream is for Black women to be able to express anger and/or sadness without judgement. I choose to fight for representation, yes, but also for the joy we deserve.
