Then he said this, “They have allegiance to the mighty dollar and th...

Freedom is complicated especially if you are black and woman. They are people who still believe the right kind of black woman exist… So freedom is going to be as individual as the Black woman who claims it. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve it.
