Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We tend to be very resistant to shifts and changes. Um, it&#8217;s very uncomfortable for many colleagues often when you are the voice in the room that says, &#8220;This doesn&#8217;t sound right to me!&#8221; or, &#8220;I have a question about how this is supposed to work&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I want Black women&#8217;s voices to be heard, uhm, uh, at the micro level um and at the micro level, often there are just so very few Black women in the room even when you&#8217;re talking a continent full of Black women!<\/p>\n<p>The leadership in development circles tends to not be Black women and it&#8217;s not because, um, Black women, women of color, are not interested in improving the quality of life for creating, um, opportunities for their communities or for the societies they live in! But it&#8217;s because we have so many criterias set up to say who is truly, um, a person, a person worthy of being listened to, respected, and knowledgeable, on issues.<\/p>\n<p>Navigating that space and navigating, um, those gaps, is where I find the greatest amount of challenge.<\/p>\n<p>I think that, that there&#8217;s a culture of, you know, the culture of misogyny has allowed men to act um, without, consequence and it becomes a part of what we believe is normal, right, uhm, and in order to make any change, we&#8217;ve literally got to be about the work of dismantling that traditional structure at every juncture. But how do you do that and appear to be a &#8220;get along person&#8221; or &#8220;good team worker,&#8221; and you know for some reason there is also this very negative stereotype of feminists as being angry people who just don&#8217;t smile and don&#8217;t know how to have a good time!
