New Black Woman’s Values

I am dedicated to providing a safe space for marginalized bodies to discuss, dissect and critique issues that affect us in ways that are different from dominant peoples. I will not tolerate hatred, bigotry, bullying or any tactics or opinions that threaten oppressed group’s feeling of comfort when coming to this space.

Before diving into my blog, it’s recommended you take a look at past entries I’ve written to get a good idea of what I stand for.
