Black Women Navigate Political Shifts and Personal Exhaustion Post-Election
In the wake of recent elections, many Black women are expressing feelings of betrayal and fatigue as they observe increased support for Trump among minority voters. This has led them to reconsider their roles as political organizers, with some stating they need rest and self-preservation. The loss of Kamala Harris has intensified feelings of grief and disappointment, prompting organizers to reevaluate their coalitions and the effectiveness of their activism. Amidst this political landscape, Black women are declaring a need for genuine solidarity rather than performative activism, signaling a desire for meaningful change and support.
