Aggies blog about the cultural representation of Black women and the literature they produce. We center the lived experience of the Black woman as represented in literature and the terms and conditions on which she projects her own agency amidst society’s denial of it. We aim to use this place as a site of valuable information, and a space to challenge traditional paradigms about the Black woman’s identity and experience.

So, as I contemplated what I'd post this week, all I could think of was the hook from Kendrick Lamar's song "Opposite's Attract (Tomorrow Without Her)." In the hook, Lamar says, "We hurt people that love us, and love people that hurt us." From this I began to think about Johnson beating his wife. She hadn't known of the day he had; however, because she hurt him, he hurt her. Although there are a few parts of the song that can relate to both texts we discussed this week, I feel that Lamar's hook definitely brought it all together.
