They always try to dehumanize Black women and your example of Serena Williams' depiction in that cartoon is a perfect example.

It feels like we are not allowed to show anger because we have to always fight back against a stereotype. Well, I'm a Black woman and I am angry at the ways they portray us and the misogynoir we endure. I know my anger is justified. They will portray us poorly no matter what so I feel no need to hold back anymore.

This was just the article I needed to read today. Reading your work is a well-needed reminder that we are not alone. We are in this together 🌷
