This week on Black Girls Bonding, I’m asking a simple but heavy question: Are we okay?
Lately, I’ve noticed so much vitriol online. Yes, the internet has always had its share of negativity, but lately it feels sharper—especially toward Black women. From journalists like Karen Attiah being punished for telling the truth, to Jemele Hill being publicly attacked, to hundreds of thousands of Black women facing unemployment despite being the most educated demographic in the country—the attacks feel relentless.
But what’s hitting me hardest is how much of that harshness we’re turning on each other. From the reaction to Crissle’s opinion on The Read to Tabitha Brown’s heartfelt encouragement, I’ve seen us pile on one another with judgment and cruelty instead of grace.
So in this episode, I unpack:
✨ Why it feels like we’re hurting more than ever right now
✨ How Malcolm X’s words about Black women still ring true
✨ Why we need to show up as safe spaces for each other
✨ A call to action to pour into Black women—through organizations, community, and kindness
As LaTosha Brown recently reminded me on a Win with Black Women call: we’re all activists now. We don’t have a choice. Let’s make sure our activism includes care, grace, and support for one another.
Plus, a quick Huntin Wives recap to lighten things up.
