@justice4blackgirls The world we want for Black children begins with the people committed to loving them well & we’re celebrating Black motherhood all weekend long. Raising free Black girls takes a village, and we celebrate the women committed to loving Black girls out loud. You deserve every good thing this world has to offer.💛 We celebrate you while also naming the additional weight you carry. Black mothers raising Black children are often tasked with the labor of re-education. Our babies are born beautiful, brilliant, and worthy… and yet, as soon as they leave our arms, we worry about the systems waiting to tell them otherwise. You have to affirm that your daughter’s braids are art while fighting policies that restrict Black children from wearing their hair in its natural form. You have to teach your child to celebrate their name while navigating teachers who refuse to take the time to pronounce it correctly. You have to affirm the power of their voice while navigating systems that punish loud Black children. You have to celebrate your babies while living in a world committed to pathologizing Black families. And still, every day, without all the answers, you find a way to show up for yourself and your babies with care, audacity, affirmation, and unconditional love.❤️ Today and every day, we celebrate Black mothers and all women and gender non-conforming people who make up the villages that hold Black children.💛
