Malcolm X once said “The most disrespected woman in America is the black woman. The most unprotected woman in America is the black woman. The most neglected woman in America is the black woman.” It's time that we change the narrative. This podcast is created by a black woman who is dedicated to empowering, uplifting, and informing black women across the world. Black women deserve a platform to express themselves and feel comfortable while doing it. It's time that we find our voices black women.
