Current Event: Addressing Misogynoir in Mental Health Conversations

@drjudithjoseph

Misogynoir is really problematic because it limits black women from being seen as individuals rather than as a part of a single profile. 🤔 We have to do our best to challenge misperceptions and automatic beliefs that we have so that we are less judgmental. ❤️ #misogynoir #blackwomen #supportblackwomen @Kelly Rowland

In the TikTok video by Dr. Judith Joseph, she explains the concept of misogynoir, which is a specific form of discrimination where racism and sexism intersect to harm Black women. She describes how Black women are often not seen as individuals, but instead are placed into stereotypes that deny them their unique identities. Dr. Joseph emphasizes that this leads to Black women being misunderstood, silenced, or unfairly judged in both personal and professional spaces. The video sheds light on how misogynoir is different from general sexism or racism—it uniquely affects Black women and creates barriers to how they are treated, respected, and heard. She calls for more awareness and action to challenge these biases, so that Black women can be seen and treated as full human beings, not just through the lens of harmful stereotypes
