2026 owes me my big girl career. One that comes with financial stability, career progression, occasional travel, a good work environment and great colleagues
Her name was Anarcha Westcott. You won’t find her in history books, but her suffering shaped modern medicine. Anarcha was just 17 years old; she was enslaved and had just given birth.
The birth left her body torn and wounded. She was in agony, bleeding, and in desperate need of care. Instead of receiving care, Anarcha was taken to a doctor, not to help her but to use her. His name was Dr. J. Marion Sims.
Today, some call him the father of modern gynecology. He didn’t see Anarcha as a girl or as a human being. He saw her as an experiment. He performed over 30 surgeries on her without anesthesia, without her consent, and without mercy. She screamed through every cut. Her body was opened again and again. Her pain was ignored because she was a slave.
Her body became the foundation for tools, techniques, and procedures used in gynecology to this day. He became famous. Hospitals were named after him. Statues were built in his honor. But Anarcha? She was forgotten. No recognition. No statue. Not even justice. Her name deserves to be known. Her voice deserves to be heard. This is her story, and we’re finally telling it.

Many of you have walked this country straight into fascism and you’re still too stupid to realize it. My generation will never forgive you.
I think it’s sick that white people have gotten away with so much violence in America, while consistently painting black people to be violent. I’ll never stop talking about it honestly.
Black people were not allowed to attend any Mardi Gras festivities so they created their own in 1909, The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. They were also the first to integrate in 1959. Today it’s the largest Black America organization of its kind in New Orleans
Why would you be surprised that enslaved people would retain some of their African heritage is the real question. Behold the beauty of New Orleans culture
Knowing how hard it was for Beyoncé and then she got her rainbow baby in Blue and then two more blessings. Kanye is a disgusting person. He’s doing all of this because Jay continues to ignore him.
