Interdependency

In Audre Lorde's essay "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House", she speaks at length about the importance of inter-dependency amongst women. Namingly white feminists and black feminists,

"Interdependency between women is the way to freedom which allows the I to be, not in order to be used, but in order to be creative. This is a difference between the passive be and the active being."

I think that this quote is one that Black women should always have in the back of their minds because we always will and should work together in spite of our differences to for the betterment of our race and the human race in general. I came across the photo below on Twitter and was inspired to no end.
