Why Do We Need Black Woman Heal Day? Back to Ground Zero
As we prep for Season 3, we thought it important to not only remember where we started, but how this continues to be relevant today. In "Ground Zero," Lilada Gee passionately advocates for the importance of healing ourselves and how, when we heal the Black girl inside of us, we can better defend Black girlhood to come.
In honor of Black Woman Heal Day - April 1st - what can we do today and beyond to heal and honor ourselves? How can we advocate for our stories? What can we do to defend Black girlhood?
