🖤Why Vulnerability Is Sacred in Black Writing
Vulnerability has never been weakness in Black writing. It has always been survival. It has always been reverence. To be vulnerable on the page, while Black, is not simply to reveal emotion. It is to risk being misunderstood, flattened, or consumed by an audience that has often demanded strength without softness, resilience without rest, and stories without interiority. And yet, Black writers continue to return to vulnerability, not because it is safe, but because it is sacred.
