description The intersection of racism and sexism within the African American community has privileged the bodies of Black men over the bodies of Black women. Oftentimes, violent crimes against Black women become issues of African American racial division rather than of solidarity.

I suggest these issues no longer be seen as distinctly separate or divisive, but that we create a world in which Black men and Black women have absolute authority of their bodies.
