It’s about women of color owning their own space and their voices being treated with dignity and respect. It’s about women of color not having to shout over voices to be heard. We are the dominant force almost all the time. White women are the stars of all the movies. White women are the lead speakers in feminist debates, and it’s little white girls that send the nation into a frenzy when they’ve been kidnapped. …check your privilege. We’re the ones that need to give women of color space for their voices.
