Is society really the Black girls' ally?

The recent kidnapping of the girls in Nigeria is nothing new to those who pay attention to the media, especially politically conscious women of Colour. There’ve been countless girls, many nameless, who’ve not only been denied an education, but dignity, respect, and a plethora of basic human rights. Whether one lives in a country where their life, and their word, means nothing unless it’s convenient for a man, countries where patriarchy and misogyny are crushing the lives of women every day in the name of religion, law and order, or one stumbles upon news of the tragedies that befall these women/girls through the media, it’s evident that society’s the girl child’s biggest threat. If she isn’t being sexualized she’s being used as a mule. If she isn’t someone’s doormat, of rag doll, of any use to the next person, she’s as good as dead, put down like the family pet no one has the energy to take care of anymore.

But many people don’t know that, including a large number of women and girls. As technology has evolved and humans fancy themselves smarter, we’re much more sceptical. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” has turned into “I’ll believe it when I see it live,” and even that isn’t good enough, lately.

A group of young African girls going missing will not be more than a hashtag to many people because they do not feel affected.

Facts you never knew about Brandy and why she wants to scream.

We haven’t heard much of Brandy in recent time. The last time we actually heard of her music was 2012 when she released Two Eleven which literally was a crap and even her label admitted it was a joke. The album as it were never found its feet on the charts. It was a shock to see Brandy’s album land no where near the charts, which was a huge disappointment for her fans. That compared to Brandy’s known success with her self-titled debut album; singles “I Wanna Be Down” and “Baby” released in 1994 which went straight to the top of the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. In 1998, 4 years later, she came back with the widely successful duet with Monica, “The Boy Is Mine”, which till date remains the most successful song by a female duo in the music industry and yielded her first number-one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and her second album, Never Say Never, which eventually became Brandy’s biggest-selling album, selling over sixteen million copies worldwide.
