They are expected to be support systems for others, to spearhead political movements, to jump three times as high. It can feel like the world is resting on their shoulders. So how do Black women find space and time to reflect and heal? This episode of The Art Of ... explores how Black women and non-binary folk have used art and creativity as a caring space.
