Exploring the Burden of Black Women's Strength and Voicelessness
In this chapter, they discuss the burden of black women having to be strong for everyone else and not having a voice or any help. They reference an article that talks about this issue, and also connect it to a scene in the book 'The Bluest Eye' where Mrs. Breedlove has to prioritize taking care of others over expressing her own rage. They also mention the backstory of Mrs. Breedlove and how her life has been shaped by her disability and the treatment she has received.
