Just as almost everything in life, black women need to work twice as hard, and be twice as loud in this industry :(
There are so so so so many amazing black women that don’t often get recognition outside our own communities. I feel in this space black women creators support each other, we advocate for each other but then when you get outside that sphere… I can’t say the same for other streamers.
And do they “have too” no. They don’t. But after years of being on this platform I’ve seen others advocating creators all the time. And sometimes it’s a numbers game. But black women have never and will never just organically reach the support that other women may, and it’s NOT because we aren’t working hard or not entertaining. It’s just racism 🤷🏽♀️ and misogyny 🤷🏽♀️ look at what happens when a game comes out with a female lead, let alone a black lead, and then a black female lead 💀 The gaming industry hates it, mocks it. This is an industry severely built against black women. We are swimming up stream making our content and making spaces for ourselves here.
Now I’m talking strictly in the gaming industry. There is disparity in who supports women, and who supports black women. Intersectionality my friends. But for my black women out there who are trying their best, and doing their thing. You got this. Keep going, keep creating 🤍

A disturbing incident took place at a lake. The sister of a young Black girl says a man pulled up his dock ladder while her sibling was trying to climb out of the water. The girl cried out that she could not breathe and begged for help, but the man refused, telling her to go around.
According to the sister, two women nearby said “you people shouldn’t be swimming here” while the child was being dragged under by waves from passing boats. Moss and weeds on the dock made it impossible for her to climb out, and she was slipping below the surface gasping for air.
The sister also says that the same man had earlier let white children use the ladder but removed it when her Black sister reached for it. She says she pulled her sibling out herself and believes that if she hadn’t acted, her sister would not have survived.
This reflects a wider pattern. Black people have long been treated with hostility and exclusion around pools, lakes, and other bodies of water. What should be safe spaces for leisure are too often turned into sites of danger and racism.

The gun was literally like an AR and the way the positioned it made it seem like she sh*t herself but they used her least dominant hand. I hate they never got justice this just makes me so angry.
