‘The Double Lives of Black Women in America’
This excerpt from Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America discusses the stereotypes that black females face today. It expresses all the gifts that women have to share we with the world, yet no one ever appreciates them or recognizes how it is being a women in today's society. Women have risen above oppression, but are still living double lives. Because of the prevalence of all the stereotypes and all of the sexual misconceptions, black women feel peer pressured to keep the stereotypes and myths alive. These myths and stereotypes starts to become internalized and we become confused to who we are, what we are, or who we believe we can be.
