The Sexualization of Black Women and Girls

The sexualization of Black women and girls has its roots in slavery and racism and heavily contributes to rape culture internally and externally. 

And  to add insult to injury, mainstream media has been oversexualizing the Black female body for years, for CENTURIES.

Well, y’all know Natty and I are ALWAYS down for a good session of disrupting the madness because…

We are of the belief that Black women should be able to wear whatever they want with all the curves they have without being objectified. 

We are also of the belief taht Black women should be able to post picture on social media honoring their bodies, their curves, and their beautiful black skin without that photo being shared as a distasteful sexually objectifying meme.

Come on, people!  Be better than the slave owners!
