[Comment before reading on]
I see:
Jenell, a black female college student & like many black women who “too often have been expected to be all things to all people & to speak everyone else’s position but [their] very own.“ (Audre Lorde)
A young black woman who is searching out opportunities that was once forbidden & only existed for white people.
An educated black woman on her way to pursuing an international experience & will later secure her bachelor’s degree.
BUT…
That wasn’t always the case.
Tracee Ellis Ross eloquently gave a powerful speech at the NAACP awards on Feb. 22nd stating that “We [Black Women] get to define ourselves, not through how others imagine us, but through how we see ourselves. Even if our truth makes you uncomfortable.”
So what I see in this image is a woman, despite historical & sociocultural challenges from the arrival of the first slave ship to the Americas, through Jim Crow & the Civil Rights Movement, smiling in the face of oppression, sexism, & being labeled as “Other.”
Jenell is “part of this ever-growing chorus of Black women owning our own legacies.”
And, you, the person reading the caption, can help Jenell & so many other black female college students reach their dreams, including seeing the world.
If you’re a black mother, aunt, father, cousin, sister, brother reading this caption, purchase a copy of “Studying Abroad for Black Women” for your daughter, niece, sister, or favorite cousin. Let’s redefine what travel looks like because students like Jenell want to study abroad & travel too.
If you’re an ally, please tag a black woman who would benefit from this message & also book.
