Dispelling Black Woman Stereotypes

The stereotype of the black women is an unfortunate part of our modern media. For years, black women have been characterized as unattractive, overly abrasive, and sexually promiscuous. Many people might be quick to state that these stereotypes don’t cause any harm. After all, it’s just a character. However, these unflattering images of black women have been around for years, being the result of colonization and slavery, all portraying the same message. That black women are lesser than their white counterparts. Throughout the course of this book, we’ll go over the various ways that we as black women have been put down over the years, as well as the effects they have on our psychology and self-esteem.
