xo xo,
gossip girl,
We heard Nandi loud and clear. Her point was that Black men deserve grace because the system crushes them hardest: no money, no government support, 400 years of stacked odds, and constant pressure to succeed.
Our point is this: that same system hits Black women just as hard, often harder. Patriarchy. Single motherhood. Unpaid care work. Higher poverty rates. Sky high GBV risks but when women survive those exact conditions through informal hustles or sex work just to feed their families, they are shamed. Insulted. Called slurs. Told they have no dignity.
So men deserve grace for trying, but women are humiliated for trying to survive? You cannot demand grace from women while denying it to them in the same breath. That is selective empathy.
Grace is not a one way demand from women to men. It has to be mutual. Otherwise it is just another burden placed on the group that is already carrying the most.

@TheRealClementM nna to be honest, I’ll never tell the current employer that I’m going to an interview. If I bump into my current employer at the corridors of my potential new employer ke taba tsa gage tseo, yena o batlang there.
I once helped a neighbour with a child like this. They were beating her, instead I introduced her to a different lifestyle, since I thought it's the way she thinks about life, she is influenced. I started giving her fun tasks and introducing a lifestyle to her.
For example...
I snatched his phone once from under the pillow & sat in the dark on the toilet seat trying to crack the pin. Moments later the lights went on & he said “come sleep”. He also said “utlwa o shaker byang & you haven’t opened it. Imagine if you did ne oswa mos”
