This clarity and rage that you’re expressing here is how I’m feeling now. As a Latina, it broke my heart to see the amount of women and men who voted for Trump. It also left me wondering if I was naive and too optimistic to think that this time around more Latinos would show up to vote for a female president. But optimism has no placed in my heart after yesterday - it’s to get to work and let our anger be heard.

Thank you for pouring out your rage and sharing it with us!! I have SO much to say, but I’ll keep it brief-ish. Despite Black women overwhelmingly voting for the more qualified candidate regardless of race or gender, we’re so locked into being on the right side of history, that we’re side-eyeing the 5 - 7% who didn’t vote for her. A small percentage, but still so disappointing to us.

Meanwhile, white women are crying on TikTok talking about making blue friendship bracelets. Like be for real!! Y’all are so unserious! Sit in the discomfort of where y’all went wrong and do the intentional work to get the rest of y’all on the right side of history.

I’ve already been 10 toes down for Black women and I will continue to unapologetically support, buy from, highlight, and celebrate Black women!

Yes, yes, yes…Well written and full of truths. Also, let’s not forget the black men that are supporting black women and our causes. We must remember to recognize their support and think about the conflicting decisions they have to make daily, in our community and also in this white, male dominated society. They are the majority but outside forces try to have us believe they are not. My peanut gallery only!!
