PEOPLE MEAS AFRICANS WHO ARE NOT BLACK ~ Binyavanga Wainaina 

The most powerful tool is language. It gives reflects on entanglement of human identity and by that, so the reader gets to gather great knowledge about themselves. 

Stereotypes such as "Black girls do not want to study and further their education." My assumption would be that it is true to people on the other side of the tunnel but to us this side it is not. The otherness in this is that the are those who push to make it out and actually overcome stereotypes that are made a social norm. The stigmas we have been thrown at how in most cases we are displayed is more reason to thrive at it. 

My assumption about black women is that they are strong. That is what I believe in but how women are displayed as weak and dependent that is the idea you get when you are reading. I learnt that it is from which side you are actually cutting the cake. Experience also plays a role in your views or not. 

The is a certain way in which women are presented in which we read about a lot in books as African women are strong are leaders and take care of households. Without them in place a lot can actually fall apart. That is the type of description we expect from literature to paint women as gods. 

Black girls thrashed hard by stigmas and scandals of teenage pregnancy as if they all come from the same mother. All that can either be made or destroyed by language in literature the tool of course.

"When I think of black girls, I think of opportunity."
