The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn a constitutional right to an abortion is expected to have a disproportionate impact on Black women and other women of color, who have traditionally faced overwhelming costs and logistical obstacles in obtaining reproductive healthcare, experts said. The reversal of Roe v Wade allows state governments to decide whether an abortion is legal. While some states have recently reaffirmed the right to an abortion, 26 states are likely or certain to ban abor...

As Full-Time Black Women we sometimes struggle with the idea of doing what is best for us. We have been hard-wired for many generations to be everything for everyone else with narrow margins of error. Living the superwoman lifestyle leads to stress and personal neglect. Although you have the right to invest in yourself, it may feel wrong and radical when you decide to do so. Today our guest, Nicole, will share her story of how she decided to choose herself. Nicole is a University of Pittsburgh G...

When we’re growing through life we learn the importance of intelligence and know-how. We value experience because with it we believe it increases a person's knowledge base. We also are groomed to believe that emotion and intelligence are mutually exclusive, meaning they cannot exist together at the same time. For example, the patriarchal misogynistic thought that women make horrible leaders because they’re incapable of managing their emotions especially if on their period. However, what has beco...

Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified. On the other hand, simply saying the words “I forgive you”, or accepting an apology, is not forgiveness. In fact, forgiveness can occur witho...

A recurring theme that has come up around black women lately is the pressure to always be on. The phrase “always on” means something is always active, operating or powered. In technology it refers to things that are expected to have continuous connection or be consistently accessible. In human terms, always being on is too tiring to even think about. However, in our day to day lives that is how some of us operate. Always on in some capacity when in mixed company and corporate spaces. Our minds a...
