On this last day of Pride Month, we mourn the lives lost in the Trans community - too many were the lives of Black and Brown trans women. Join us in honoring the lives of those reported and not reported and continue to fight for an end to violence and discrimination, for equity in sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice! #RepresentationMatters #BlackTransLivesMatter #BrownTransLivesMatter #PrideMonth https://www.hrc.org//fatal-violence-against-the-transgende

The biggest barrier her low-income Black and Latinx patients face is "the plague of white supremacy that has sickened this nation for hundreds of years and has manifested anew during the COVID-19 pandemic," writes Ana Delgado of UCSF Bixby Center in Business Insider http://bit.ly/3cRyAJE

Black Women For Wellness, wishing you a restorative weekend

Thankful for the Me Too Movement - #metoo , National Women's Law Center, and TIME'S UP for holding space for Black survivors during this time. We must give Black survivors the dignity, respect, and care they need. "Historically, justice for survivors has been a virtue almost exclusively bestowed upon cisgender, white, able-bodied women. Black survivors who report sexual assault or violence are less likely to be believed than their white counterparts. Our stories are often q...uickly discarded as lies before they are even fully heard. Black survivors are not afforded the level of attention, care, and impartiality that we deserve and problematic media and cultural depictions fuel a culture of disbelief that pushes survivors further into the shadows. Moreover, internalized shame about sexual violence has us apologizing and making space for the harm-doer without addressing the harm done or centering the survivor." Black History is US History. #BlackHistoryMonth #BLM http://ow.ly/XeIE50DrLsI
