Not My President

A Story of Betrayal


92 Percent…
The percentage of Black Women who voted for the survival of our Democracy.

Black Women have historically been the single most loyal voting block in the Democratic party. And they have also been the most disenfranchised. Nonetheless, with a rock-solid pragmatism, they consistently cast their ballots for the candidate who represents the “greater good,” and the candidate who seems most capable of providing the best environment for the wellbeing of their families.

For Black Women, the math is simple.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the majority of white women voters felt no sense of urgency to mitigate their own subjugation. Nearly 55% of them voted for a 34-count felon and adjudicated rapist who has vowed to end all reproductive freedoms, and assert full control over their bodies.

Barefoot and pregnant is the plan.
Apparently, over half of white women voters are cool with it.

I’ve been informed that this time around, when the inevitable “marches against whatever…” kick-off, Black Women will be officially on strike. Believe them.

not my president, c.2017

Women’s March Against Trump, Chicago | January 2017
The intensity of her disposition left little room for doubt. Her eyes were galvanizing.
As she passed, she looked me right in the face… daring me to miss the shot.
1,000 words.

Women’s March, Chicago | January 2018
Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, Sisters, Wives, Friends… they tried to tell us.
Perhaps we are nothing more than beggars to our own demise.
