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.

Maternal/Child Claiming
I believe that everyone has a different outlook on this subject. I grew up in the church and from my understanding we are all God's property. I own not my mother nor does she own me. Yes we introduce each other as "my mother" or "my daughter" but in actuality we are all God's children. I apologize, but then again I don't, for bringing in my religious view about the topic but as discussed in class I had no relationship with my biological mother and the mother that raised me was unaffectionate so all I really had we my religion and The Lord.
