My little test: if everyone does the thing you’re claiming is “resistance”, will it transform society in any meaningful way?? If no then it definitely isn’t resistance

I don’t mind self-care for Black women as in I’m not about to stress out for a country that didn’t choose the Black woman but wants me to CLEAN it up. I’m not about to march and risk any potential harm for a country that wouldn’t do it for me. And, I’m going to protect my peace, mental & physical health, and get a facial every now and then. I get that. But, I think it’s been taken way too literally. And, it’s not the flex many think it is.

Your article is brilliant and I tried to articulate these points in mine, but you hit the nail on the head. And, Meghan is not relatable to many Black women outside of symbolism and/or what she represents, and I don’t think her show had Black women in mind.
