Ziyanda is discoursing the politics of marginalisation, intersectionality and desirability. ALL black women experience marginalisation due to their race and gender.
Darker skinned women experience an additional layer of harm via colourism. Her observation is that few light skinned women use their online platform to discuss the plights of black women.
Those who choose to keep quiet, are probably doing so to preserve the limited desirability society has allocated them.
And she’s not wrong for framing desirability in the context of the “male gaze” because it IS patriarchy and misogyny that dictate global beauty standards.
Regardless of why light skinned women choose silence, it is UNFAIR for them to disengage because they WILL benefit from any liberation that comes from darker skinned women having these difficult conversations.
We all know silence is complicity. Why did some people expect Ziyanda to use gentleness to describe acts of violence she’s been subjected to for her ENTIRE life?

i get what she’s trying to say, i just think her mistake was turning it into a metric. it’s not that light-skinned women aren’t in intellectual spaces, it’s that they’re not always required to be in the same way. colourism means they can be heard and valued w/o having to prove depth, whereas darkskinned women are often pushed to develop and lead w their intellect bc they’re not afforded the same assumptions of softness.

Propaganda I will never fall for. All the women in my life have amazing friendships, I’ve had the same friends since high school 🙅🏾♀️
