Quote: “I know many Black women who have suffered from fibroids, a few who have had their uterus removed, and more who wanted children they were never able to have; and none of them we’re given justification beyond “Black women are at risk.” This assignment of sickness to Blackness is beyond its expiration, but the dismantling of this pathology is key to our liberation. It is up to Black women to decide what comes with and after liberty, but it doesn’t include death.”
