The Refill
Black Women Deserve
As a Black woman it often feels like we are working hard and doing the work, while pushing up against resistance from others who perpetuate beliefs and expectations that we are no longer subscribing to and actively distancing ourselves from, in the name of our well-being. In this appreciation post/call to action I give voice to Black women who likely need all of these things but never asks for them, while outlining meaningful ways others can honor Black women daily.
Why focus on self-care?
Self-care is important for everyone, however, we all know society holds women to standards, both in the home and at work, that are particularly detrimental to our health. For those who may question the necessity of self-care, I hope this sheds light on the need for it and organizations such as Kell’s Well who recognize the gaps in care and aspire to help fill them.
