Colorism Stories

In introspect, Maya should have seen it coming, she spent every profound moment of her adolescence with Louis, talking about everything and nothing thus blooming the inevitable falling for your bestfriend saga.

Can I ask you something weird?" Weird became war. Because the girl on the other side has my father's nose. My father's smile. My father's last name. She's his American princess.

Her name was Oasis Kai Evans, and she was sick of being the oddball in life. She was that black girl who was always stuck in between. Oasis is always underappreciated and taken for granted. At school in the morning, nobody would want to talk to her. When it came to conversations, she'd always have to start them. When it came to music tastes, no one ever heard of the artists she was talking about. Worst of all, Oasis couldn't confide in anybody about anything, not even her own mother and father. So, she decided to go about finding what she wanted in her own way. Somehow it worked out in her favor... She found exactly what she was looking for in the most unexpected person.

"A woman's place is in the struggle" Womanism is essentially feminism for women of color, but better. We know they claim "intersectional feminism", which supposedly includes us woc, but we want something more. Womanism focuses on issues inside of community as colors, and how that intersects with gender issues. The movement was created by black women.
