3 | Black Women Everywhere Are Surviving R. Kelly, And It's Making Us Tired
Description
I sit down with my good friend Cass Alcide (@cassndra_ on Twitter) to talk about how exhausted the Lifetime documentary Surviving R. Kelly made us. Everything about those six hours sucked the soul out my body: the lack of empathy from R. Kelly's apologist, the overt complicity from so many people and the complicated relationship that black women have being supportive and being supported was enough to make us want to rip our baby hairs out. I just needed to vent about what hurt me, what enraged me and what truly bewildered me. While we laughed through some of our pain, this conversation is really just us supporting each other as friends and more importantly, as black women. (I'm still working on finding a place with good acoustics, so I do apologize for the echoing.)
