The roots of the Black identity run through the cultural matriarchy, resembling the nature of veins. These roots grow and span through maternal relationships in which they nourish the strength to thrive in spaces that attempt to limit this growth. The notion of kinship rises through these bonds. It proves that Black women will continue to nurture this exchange of love, vulnerability, and compassion for their very own. Through generational chapters of experience, our upbringings impact the way in which we navigate throughout society. With the instilled sense of security from support as well as the pride of the Black female identity allows for younger generations to foster this cycle.
