REEL SOUTH

We are the highest voting population in this state and in this city. But we don't have the representation to reflect that. The idea that our mayor regardless of the outcome is gonna be a black woman? Woo-Hoo! We're all excited. However, when we talk about reform or change or doing something in the way that is supposed to be good for everybody. We also have to recognize that women as a whole if they're not addressed specifically they are being left out. And if black women aren't addressed specifically apart from white women then we're being left out. And then we're left out of those conversations and that dialogue on a consistent basis.

We shouldn't just be thanking women of color for electing progressive leaders. We should be electing women of color as those leaders.
