Good Morning World!!
“I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance. ” – Bell Hooks
People are constantly trying to humble Black women, to tell us to dim our light, shrink our dreams, and settle for less. It’s a tired tactic rooted in a world that fears our power and wants us to feel small. But we must reject that narrative at every turn. We are not here to make others comfortable with our brilliance. We are here to live boldly, love fiercely, and take up every inch of space we deserve.
Their ignorance has never defined us and it never will. Black women have always been the blueprint: the innovators, the culture-shifters, the leaders before we were ever given titles. So let them try to humble us. We’ll keep rising, shining, and leading, just as we always have.
Happy Saturday!
