As a Black woman who studies gendered racism and misogynoir, I don’t think the majority of Americans are ready for a Black woman to lead our country. Many of us Black women who have served in leadership positions know this from personal experience. (1/2)

This headline is slightly misleading. The article states, “It also highlighted another painful reality: Blacks and Latinas lost jobs in December, while White women made significant gains.” This is why an intersectional analysis by race, gender, and class is so important.
US employers cut 140,000 jobs in December, according to the latest jobs report. Women accounted for all the losses, losing 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000.

I’m looking forward to this VP debate, but I‘m also bracing myself for all of the racist and sexist comments about Kamala Harris afterwards. Black women always have to walk this tight rope. Folks want us to be strong and assertive, but then we’re told we’re “angry Black women.”

A1) It’s important to cultivate a strong community of critically conscious folx who can provide support & validation as well as push you in your own critical awareness and critical action.

Q1. What are practical ways we can develop and maintain our CRITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS, as individuals and as a community, in a society where we face daily risk of experiencing
#RacialTrauma
— and are gaslit to question that this is our reality as Black people?

I wanted to chime in and encourage you to consider counseling psychology PhD programs. It is a much more diverse subfield, we have a longstanding focus on social justice & equity, strengths-based approaches to mental health, etc. Please reach out if you have questions.

Appreciate AOC for speaking truth to power about a culture of misogyny. Let’s also acknowledge the way misogyny is also racialized. Intersection of sexism and racism on full display in the continued disrespect and mistreatment of a woman of color in congress.

@DrJulietteM
I would add that some folks in the field should resist the urge to even begin writing scientific papers on these issues if they don’t have the expertise. The psychology of race+racism is an area of study that has existed for many decades.
