Though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no love. On my smile, my mind reassure me I don’t need no one❤️

My artifact for this week is a song entitled SONIA off the album called legacy by oneof my favorite artist: Jamilla Woods. Throughout Rankine’s book she gives language to the body burden of exhaustion that manifest in the bodies of black woman as they are thrown a against a “sharp white background” and rendered invisible. In this song another great queen is on the track, Nitty Scott. In her verse around 1:57 she raps a line that states 

“It was pouring into you while emptying me

It was rationalizing all your toxicity

It was hands around my neck with us on my back

It was pressure, pain, and panic attacks

Had me faded to the wire, putting out my fire

Use to have requirements that turned into desires

Expected to retire me while keeping you inspired

All the women in me are tired

Listen,

My abuela ain't survive several trips around the sun

So I could give it to somebody's undeserving son”

In this part Nitty Scott is giving language to the toxicity of her own body burden as well “ all the woman in me are tired” .
