Breaking Down True Womanhood & Black Girlhood in Media

The 19th Century was not kind to the girls.

A piece long in the making! I hope you enjoy this video, which is officially the longest non-rant videos I've ever done. A true labor of love.

** Note: I've heard mixed things about the audio levels from 17:35-20:45, so just a heads up! It sounds fine in my headphones and computer but it's a YMMV situation. Anyway ... probably time for a new mic that doesn't get smothered by my boobs! xx
