“Yes, “Struggle Love” is damn sure the enemy.”

Equality. Everybody seems to be fighting for it.

Equality is always a topic of conversation and it probably always will be, especially since there is a need for equality in many different spaces, races, places, and cases.

One of the primary spaces where Equality is fought for these days relates to love.

Everybody wants to be free to love whom and what they choose to love because, “love is love”, so they say.

I am noticing there are some areas where this is not the case though.

I am blown back by the lack of equality presented when speaking of black women, black feminism, and black love.

Yes, that’s right. I said it.

Black women started talking about “struggle love” and “Pick-meesha’s” one day and they are riding it like bulls from YouTube to TikTok to Facebook to Twitter.

Yes, “Struggle Love” is damn sure the enemy.

What is “Struggle Love”, you ask?
