EBONY has written an article highlighting the anti-blackness that black girls experience as the only black girl in a girl group:
“Bannerman’s pause didn’t just interrupt a promotional cycle; it set off a domino effect, highlighting a reality many Black women know intimately: the exhausting weight of being the only one”
“The only Black girl is expected to embody that star quality while maneuvering microaggressions without disrupting group harmony. The hard truth stands: it's extremely difficult to remember the dream when you're hit with constant criticism and double standards by not only stans but also the labels and corporations”
