Columbus Black girls say they have to work twice as hard to be viewed as even a fraction of good. In letters to the city, they say they deserve love.
for the past 17 years of my life and I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s gotten better or worse.
Growing up, my parents would try to shelter me from a lot of the bad things that would be going on around me, but the truth usually always finds a way to shed its light.My parents didn’t really like me going out.
Especially in Columbus, I’ve seen it grow worse over the years. I used to think that this was a safe place, but growing up, it’s become much worse than it was when I was younger. Being a Black girl in Columbus, especially, has been more on and off for me because one day it’ll be praise for you and the other day, it will be people neglecting you and degrading you just for being the way that you want to be.Because of this, I’m not sure how much I actually do like being here, but I always find a way to find the light of the situation.I think and I know that being a Black girl is so dope, so beautiful, so radiant, so luscious and so us.
But in the light and the world, where they don't accept you for who you are, it’s difficult when you see things that happen like the killing of Ma’Khia Bryant, and Black girls being neglected for being who they are. But also, in that sense of Black girls being radiant and resilient.
