...Women's History Month and this one was an interested one. Well, at least in my eyes
A Black woman's honor was defended on live American television. In a world where after turning 5 years-old girls & women with melanated skin are thought to be not as innocent & gentle as other races of women. There is even researched data to state this. As for the whole context of who, why, & how her honor was defended, I will delve into it. I am just stating it was
The first Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright passed away during this time. The first time I voted was in 1996. I put Bill Clinton in office for the second time. He appointed Madame Albright in that office. I tell you guys all the time, I Pick Winners. And now I can publicly say, I Determine the Trajectory of History. LoL Seriously, Madeleine Albright, before, during, and after being in a high office, was a champion of women. Albright supported Hillary Clinton during her presidential campaign in 2016. While introducing Clinton at a campaign event Albright said, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other". That was a rebuke of younger women who supported the primary rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. It was "startling and offensive" to her. Rest In Peace to Madeleine Albright.
As of the time of this post, who has watched the second season of Bridgerton? It's a decent season. I won't be providing any spoilers. But I do wonder if those in the show's camp put this season with this month in mind. And even though the show has shown quite a few ladies living fully and it has literally narrated by the free opinionated Lady Whistledown, Episode 6 made me think it was. So many emotions, decisions, & situations women go through were expressed by every female character in that episode. There is a scene between Lady Bridgerton & Lady Danbury that was humanly real. I wanted to hug both of them. But they basically had to soothe themselves. Like we, women have to do, sometimes.
And let me talk about Ketanji Brown Jackson. President Joe Biden has nominated her to the Supreme Court. Her confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee opened on March on the 21st. It was difficult to hear some of the committee members ask the judge questions.
Especially Ted Cruz mischaracterizing passages in two children's books "Antiracist Baby" by Ibram X. Kendi & "Stamped (For Kids): Racism, Antiracism, and You" by Jason Reynolds, Ibram X. Kendi, and adapted by Sonja Cherry-Paul to question her about her stance on the university graduated level teachings, Critical Race Theory. But Judge Brown Jackson answered & reacted to all questions & statements with intelligence, grace, & confidence. It's hard to watch people who don't even champion in their professional industries conduct an interview for a position on the Supreme Court of the United States. They don't even know the right questions to stump her. Well, it's all down to the vote. And I for one do not want to just be grateful to be nominated. I want Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the highest court in the land to interpret the laws. Ohh April...
Well, as March marches past us, I will remember the events that made me feel like being a Woman was more enjoyable than usual. The events that make me feel like I'm not beloved just because of my biological makeup. My mind & heart gets some love too. Especially since they are running the show.
