A Social Awareness Campaign
A Lot And Too Much
(Re)framing, (Re)claiming, and (Re)building Capacity, Sis!
I created A Lot And Too Much as a social (media) awareness and empowerment campaign for Black women. Black women have long been poorly characterized as if overbearing. We contend with widely accepted, stereotypical ideas and descriptions like "a lot", "too much", "too loud", "difficult" and more, comparable to other women and people generally, and across places irrespectively. Through the lens of Black feminism, this platforms calls attention to this kind of "intersectional gas-lighting" and projecting. In turn, A Lot And Too Much is a reconceptualization and reclamation of those words. Ones that unjustly make Black women responsible for their accusers' often privileged and uninvited assessments, judgements, fragility, reactions, and overall comfortableness or the lack thereof. The A Lot And Too Much platform also affords a "Yes, I am" and of "great worth" statement for Black women. This is while advancing social education and redirecting attention to historically racist and sexist tropes and pejoratives, feelings of low esteem and capacity, not (good) enough, low vibrational, and "cannot measure up" mentalities that often disparagingly drive and undergird the namesake of this campaign.
