I recently looked through old photos and came across my kindergarten graduation picture. When you are that age, you are told that all you must do is be good, don’t get into any trouble, work hard and the world is yours. Our parents, ministers, teachers, politicians such as President Obama tell us this. Life, however, teaches us differently.
We do not all start at the same starting line and who we are often determine what opportunities we have access too, and what obstacles we come across. This is especially true for Black women as we deal with the intersectionality of sexism and racism. The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the job and wage disparities in the United States.

The battle for the White House is over, and millions of Americans are hoping the era of America’s “uncivil war” has come to an end, as well.
That’s the term President Joe Biden used in his inaugural address to refer to the bitter divisions of politics and race that marked the presidential elections and the past four years under President Donald Trump. These divisions culminated with violence at the Capitol two weeks ago, with five people being killed and Trump’s second impeachment.
The battle for the White House is over. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were inaugurated today in what many are heralding as a triumph for democracy.
