Colin Kaepernick, Adoption And Black Shame

What this episode covers

In today's episode of the Divested Diary, we delved into adoption, which is often overlooked and rarely discussed in the Black community. As a Black woman, it is crucial to shed light on this issue and provide a brutally honest perspective. Adoption in the Black community is not something that is widely talked about or embraced. It is a topic that often gets overshadowed by other pressing issues. However, it is essential to address the reality of why adoption happens within our community and the consequences it has for our children.  One of the reasons adoption occurs within the Black community is due to the prevalence of drug abuse and neglect. It is heartbreaking to see children being removed from their homes because their parents chose drugs over their well-being. We cannot blame white people for these choices; it is a matter of personal responsibility. Adoption is a sensitive and often overlooked topic within the Black community. It is time for us to have open and honest conversations about the reasons behind adoption and the need for accountability. We cannot brush issues like incest and child abuse under the rug. Our responsibility is to address these problems and work towards creating a safer and healthier environment for our children.Connect with Sharika:Twitter: @SharikaSoal84 (https://twitter.com/SharikaSoal84)Divested Diary Website (https://divesteddiary.com/)  Join the Movement at "Divested Diary: Empowering Women's Voices."Are you ready to make a difference?
