Listen "Looking Back to Move Forward (I Am Woman Intro)"
Episode Synopsis
Reading of introduction to I AM WOMAN: Expressions of Black Womanhood in America.
"As the scales fell from my eyes, it became painfully evident there is no environment in which Black Women are seen, respected, or valued as human beings with enough intelligence to form plans for their lives. We are treated as if we have no right to our bodies, our feelings, our thoughts, or our future. We are disregarded as if the past never happened and the present isn't for us. We are constantly told who we are, who we aren't, who we should be, what's expected of us, what we can and can't do. What's enough for us. Yet at no point are we able to just be who we are as we want to be."
