My therapist tells me that I take a great deal of deep breaths during our sessions. I know why - its exhausting navigating the world as a card carrying member of the #ubw club. The people are out in full force, letting us know that misogynoir is here to stay, so my Sisters, be ready. From Amanda Seales, to whom so much disdain is pointed, to Marilyn Mosby, looking at potentially 40 years for some BullSh*t, to Angel Reese wearing rags in an empty room when introduced to the world as a member of the WNBA, to me, whose cultural mores still aim to hem me up, even when I no longer wear the title of "child" or the "exalted" wife. To say a b*tch is ti-red, does not capture it accurately. The through line of all of these is a Black Woman who lives in truth. Amanda says the things that Black folks playing "palatable" are not going to like - including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, colorism, and fux-boys. Marilyn Mosby had the audacity to move forward with prosecuting the six police officers who killed Freddie Grey in 2015. The audacity of this #ubw to seek justice for a Black Man during the time period when it was free reign to kill us (we had a respite back in 2020/2021 - its back to free reign for anyone confused about our current time period). Angel Reese, dared claim she was a beast on the basketball court (she is), and when her team did not take the top spot and she felt that sting emotionally, she was punished, because of course, #ubw cannot display a range of feelings - ya'll not ready for it. Well, what is a #ubw to do - keep fuxing talking truth - despite the punishment.
