Black Twitter is challenging any stereotypes you might have about black women.
#AllBlackGirlsDont took off last week and many of the results were both empowering and enlightening. The hashtag was used by many Twitter users to help exemplify that black women are far from monolithic. Check out a few of the tweets that shined a light on the many faces of black womanhood.
