MN: Wow

Tamara: Black women really answered the call and then when I started writing like reading the letter. The first one I read, like, I ugly cried, like, they were beautiful. They were everything that I would ask for. You know, I asked women to be vulnerable and to be loving, non-respectability politics. I didn’t want letters where, you know, Black women were telling girls like, you need to do this and you need to be like this. But I wanted letters where we talk to them as former Black girls and made ourselves vulnerable and boosted them. And I think the Mayes ing letters, and I got these amazing letters.
