6. Listen carefully.
Probably the best gift you could give to Black women is a listening ear. They often go ignored and unheard in society, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Hear them when they speak and listen deeply!
7. Let them know you’ve got their back.
Protect Black women is the motto every day. To show your love to the Black women in your life, communicate that you’re here for them. Maybe you don’t see this enough or at all, and this month is the perfect time to start.
