📣New in our Blog, Voices in Movement: “Yes, Young Black Women Make Their Debuts Too: Examining the History and Impact of Black Debutante Balls” by @kmmendez ✨ 🔗: Link in Bio! ➖BWR’s lead columnist on Black Feminist Histories and Movement, Karla Mendez explores and critiques the history of debutante balls, what they stand for in Black communities, and questions if there is still a need for them. Karla writes: “When we are constantly surrounded by images of women that fit into these boxes of beauty that our society has designed, are we doing more harm to young Black women by having them engage in practices that tell them the way they look or act needs to be changed?” #blackwomenradicals #blackcotillions #blackdebutantes #debutantes #KarlaMendez #blackbeauty #ballroom
