The Combahee River Collective made me think about myself as a black woman and how we are viewed in society. It is interesting because as a black woman people do tend to view us as hostile and angry, but never take into account why we have developed such a hard exterior. When in reality every action has  a reaction a change needs to be made so we are not made to feel we have to be so defensive and aggressive you get what you give honestly. On another note “Paris  is Burning” was very interesting to watch and informative. After speaking to a friend he told me the show “POSE” was actually based around this documentary. That made me think about how much I enjoyed the show not understanding it held so much more meaning prior to my new found knowledge !
