I am so sorry that your experience has led you to a place where you are shocked that a white woman would study and write about the stories of black women. There are many women who want to learn, share, grow, and exchange stories with other women of every race, religion, age, or any other difference that some would use to divide us. That is why it is so important that your story is shared with the world, once it is finished to your satisfaction. Best wishes as you continue your writing.
