Thank you so much for your comment Avis! You make an interesting point! I do think that there seems to be some tear in the Black community (between men and women) perpetrated by the media. I also agree that people should get to know Black men personally and be in community with them more often rather than using studies or data about them (For context, I used my Sociology degree as merit in this article in regards to the argument I had with my sister since she was acting as if her statements were facts). I honestly just want Black women to maintain their mental health and give Black men a little more grace since they’re not a monolith. I’m so glad you enjoyed my piece!❤️🙏
