This is sad, but it’s truth.

What can some black women do?

Focus on the way we raise our children.

Examine how we train our boys and men to treat us.

Help ourselves more than we help our adults men.

Support ourselves first.

The truth is men don’t respect or value women who baby them—I mean sons, brothers, fathers, uncles, pastors, and husbands.

Well done, Allison!
