A woman shares a spiritual message about why calling Black women strong backfires. She argues the label creates extra burden and pushes men away, and suggests women embrace vulnerability, interdependence, and traditional femininity instead.
And at that time, I left social media for about a good almost 2 years. And God said, you've been too strong. He said, it's time for our women, my women, not to be strong. I need them to be resilient. I don't ever want you to call another woman strong ever again, because what that means is when she's being strong, that means there's more burdens that's going to be put on her back. You're asking for burdens. You're asking for trials and tribulations because I'm strong, I got it. How many of y'all say I got it all the time? I got it, I can do it because folks don't do it fast enough. I just— I'll do it myself. God said no. He said the reason why you— I have you here is because I need you to get back to your womanhood and femininity. He said I never want you to ever say I'm a strong, independent Black woman. You are a resilient, interdependent, smart, kind, loving, nurturing, God-fearing woman. And the reason why you continue to go through these trials is because you keep saying, I'm strong and independent. The reason why every man keeps leaving is because you keep saying, I'm independent.
