Mykella Van Cooten was raised to be a “strong Black woman”. That meant she was a high achiever in sports, academics, anything she touched—and she was proud. But one night she spotted a massive ad on the side of a bus that included those exact words. Mykella began to question the societal pressure to be strong... and nothing else. She set out to document the history of the “Strong Black Woman” archetype and to take a close look at how trying to live up to it has affected her life.
