“The fact that Black women stepped up, came out and voted for a progressive candidate (over an accused child molester, no less) should not be surprising to anyone who isn’t willfully ignorant to the socio-economic powers keeping Black women from leadership positions in and out of politics,” Ashley Alese Edwards wrote in Refinery29.
