The Future Is Black Women

It’s clear to me. Even looking at the current state of the world here in 2025, there’s a constant call for Black women to step in—to support the causes of everyone else. What that tells me is this:

1. Black women, by and large, are the only ones truly capable.

2. No one else really wants to do it.

3. Black women are not only fit but highly effective at creating the change the world says it wants to see.

Black women + power go together real bad. It’s been a long-overdue journey to return to ourselves—but we are well on our way. Black women are the blueprint. So of course, we’re returning to the "drawing board"—not to save the world, but to tap into Source and redesign the systems we’ve long been excluded from. Only this time, it’s different.

Black women are turning inward. We’re centering self in a way we hadn’t in the past. We’re using our power to benefit ourselves—first—before anyone else. Because we now understand, clearly, what happens when we become the resource for everyone else: we are exploited. Taken for granted. Our ideas are stolen, monetized, and profited from—only to leave us with nothing in return.

Our spiritual and physical gifts have been used and abused, usually for the benefit of some white man—or someone who doesn’t look like us—who co-opts our genius to line their own pockets.

Black women have learned this lesson. And we’re moving accordingly.

We are creating a future that supports us as the creators. A future that centers us—first. As it was divinely ordered.

The world is shifting. Things are changing. The future is female—but specifically, it's Black Women leading the charge. That only makes sense. We’re often the only demographic with the lived experience to see the entire "board"—how systems intersect, how they harm, and where the gaps lie.

Even now, while the world panics, I can speak for myself as a Black woman: I am not afraid. Where others see chaos, I see opportunity. I see the opportunity for a better future.

And honestly? We’ve been in training this whole time. Many of us have been called to leadership—formally and informally. We are the very “independence” the world keeps talking about. We’ve never been dependent on a system that was never built for us. So it’s no surprise that those who benefitted from that system are now panicking at the loss of their comforts. What they failed to realize is that those comforts came with fine print: no guarantees.

This system was always going to turn on them—just like it did us. The difference? We’ve never had the luxury of comfort. We were forged in discomfort. And the system made a mistake: it underestimated the very group it tried to keep at the bottom.

We are brilliant. We are powerful. We are visionary.
And now? We are rising.

Black women are the future. The world as we knew it is over—and a new world is being born. One that we are leading.
