Repost:IG: @directherbmonet : This is an anthology that explores Black womanhood through the lenses of rebirth, transformation, and healing. I hope that you will see us and begin to understand our experiences. Black women come in all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and religions. Our experiences are vast, beautiful, painful, and real. We’re not monolithic, but our humanity deserves to be celebrated and known. This is a mosaic of Black womanhood and girlhood exclusively on @comcast Black Experience on @xfinity’s channel, X1, Xumo, and Flex. I would like to thank everyone who made this film possible.
