A Love Letter to Chicago’s Black Womxn

By Sarah Oberholtzer
This love letter demands a softness and beauty for the Black womxn of Chicago. After an inhumane Chicago Police Department raid of a Black woman’s home, Sarah Oberholtzer created this piece as a salve for the Black womxn in their life, most of whom seemed widely heartbroken & traumatized by the viral video shared of the raid. The piece also offers a call to action to donate to the Black Girl Freedom Fund, which is a campaign to mobilize $1 billion of investments in the leadership, wellbeing, joy, artistic genius, and power of Black girls and gender-expansive youth.
