Monique Morris Quotes

Black Girls Are Likened More To Adults Than To Children And Are Treated As If They Are Willfully Engaging In Behaviors Typically Expected Of Black Women - Sexual Involvement, Parenting Or Primary Caregiving, Workforce Participation, And Other Adult Behaviors And Responsibilities. This Compression Is Both A Reflection Of Deeply Entrenched Biases That Have Stripped Black Girls Of Their Childhood Freedoms And A Function Of An Opportunity-starved Social Landscape That Makes Black Girlhood Interchangeable With Black Womanhood. It Gives Credence To A Widely Held Perception And A Message That There Is Little Difference Between The Two.
