Biggest Challenges Facing Moms of Color

I think one of the greatest challenges facing moms of color is access. Access to equal wages and opportunity, access to agency over our own bodies and health, access to safety, and access to justice. And as mothers, we also carry this burden for our children.

Some of us may feel we that we have reached a certain level of attainment in these areas (in part or in whole), or that our children may not face these same difficulties, so my challenge to us would be helping to ensure that all moms of color attain them, too. In some aspects, this could be as easy as donating our time or money. But, the more difficult task may be examining our own complicity in systems that oppress our sisters.
