  • Jennifer Gaskin explains why Black women have every right to be angry and why we should be more concerned about addressing the issues that drive that anger. Writer. Orator. Revolutionary. Jennifer J. Gaskin is a Caribbean American, Black woman creator who delivers her message through direct, strong, and honest oration and writing. Often misunderstood due to her raw and gritty delivery, she has dedicated her next journey to giving a voice to those also walking this path. She aspires to provide a voice for the voiceless and create space and connection for healing. Writing has served as an outlet of healing and connection for Jennifer. She believes there is power in creating an opening to understanding through having intentional conversations, leading with love, and sharing culture to enable authentic connection. Black voices matter. Her voice matters. Our collective voices matter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    Anger is actually a secondary emotion comprised of one or more of the following: fear, anxiety, worry, disappointment, frustration, envy, rejection, discomfort, and regret.

    Anger doesn't accomplish anything but causes division including division with God. Other women who have been abused also have anger but the anger only wounds the one who is angry.

    Anger is a bad energy and can leave you exhausted. Believing you are a victim of slavery will keep you angry. So you should ask yourself what you are not free to do even if you try. I can't think of any rights that are being withheld.

      Wow. You want us to be enslaved again? Huh? Or how about breeding us again? So pick a time when we should have a good attitude when that known history been passed down from mother to daughter. Or how about knowledge that our history is that none of us chose to know that our ethnicity did choose to be on this land. I am glad to know if this was 200 years ago or even 60 years ago, who you would be this time in pass history of this country. You are a scary human for you would be L us in trees if you could get away with it. And you and others are the reason most stay oppressed by others in this country. You don't know all of us and stop catergorizing all of us. Everything done to the B race is because of attitudes like this. Pray there never come a day when enough is enough.
