Most people who know me would say that I take a strong social justice stance. From my social media presence to my academic interests as a doctoral student, I express vehement concern for the wellbeing of the Black woman. I am concerned that my support of Black women and other women of color is interpreted as hatred of everyone else (i.e., Whites and men). That is simply not the case. These ten beliefs clarify where I stand as a Black feminist. Perhaps other Black women who are social justice activists and advocates share some of my convictions.
