Melaninated Women Preserving Our Voices: A Call to Document, Gather, and Lead Through Story

As someone deeply intuitive by nature, I found myself reflecting on my morning walk—thinking about the future of women, and more specifically, the future we have yet to create. My thoughts turned to an idea I believe is essential for Feverse Innovation to carry forward: the importance of women documenting our stories, our history, and our lived experiences.

Too often, our narratives—especially those of Black women—are told by everyone but us. Our voices are either distorted, erased, or lost entirely. What if we changed that? What if we intentionally began preserving our own stories through journaling, books, shared ancestral memory, and collective documentation? What if Feverse Innovation became a hub for this kind of sacred storytelling—a living library of the feminine experience?

I envision Feverse Innovation as more than a business. I see it as a powerful archive of womanhood—where the experiences of both the past and present are preserved for future generations. A place where women and girls can study knowledge from the feminine perspective, balanced thoughtfully with insights from men, yet rooted in the often-overlooked voices of women.

In mainstream society, we hear much from the masculine perspective. It dominates the lens through which history, science, culture, and even spirituality are taught. But what of the wisdom, truth, and insight carried by women—especially Black women? Our stories are often scattered or fragmented. This is about preservation. It’s about reclaiming our narratives and being the authors of our own truths.

We cannot afford to wait for others—especially white men—to tell our stories. We must take responsibility, not only for speaking truth to power, but for documenting and protecting that truth ourselves. Real change demands more than wanting power. It requires us to be responsible stewards of it. It requires courage—not just to rise, but to remember, to write, and to preserve.

This is not simply a call for more representation; it is a call for restructuring. A full restructuring of how our stories are told, how our wisdom is archived, and how our daughters come to know who they are—through our own words.

As we move forward, let us remain in control of our voices. Let us tell the stories that were nearly lost. Let us write the books our ancestors never got to finish. And let us gather that knowledge into one place—so that those who come after us will never have to wonder what we thought, how we lived, or what we dreamed.

Feverse Innovation is here to help build that bridge.

The Future is Black Women

It’s clear to me. Even looking at the current state of the world here in 2025, there’s a constant call for Black women to step in—to support the causes of everyone else. What that tells me is this:

1. Black women, by and large, are the only ones truly capable.

2. No one else really wants to do it.

3. Black women are not only fit but highly effective at creating the change the world says it wants to see.

Black women + power go together real bad. It’s been a long-overdue journey to return to ourselves—but we are well on our way. Black women are the blueprint. So of course, we’re returning to the "drawing board"—not to save the world, but to tap into Source and redesign the systems we’ve long been excluded from. Only this time, it’s different.

Black women are turning inward. We’re centering self in a way we hadn’t in the past. We’re using our power to benefit ourselves—first—before anyone else. Because we now understand, clearly, what happens when we become the resource for everyone else: we are exploited. Taken for granted. Our ideas are stolen, monetized, and profited from—only to leave us with nothing in return.

Our spiritual and physical gifts have been used and abused, usually for the benefit of some white man—or someone who doesn’t look like us—who co-opts our genius to line their own pockets.

Black women have learned this lesson. And we’re moving accordingly.

We are creating a future that supports us as the creators. A future that centers us—first. As it was divinely ordered.

The world is shifting. Things are changing. The future is female—but specifically, it's Black Women leading the charge. That only makes sense. We’re often the only demographic with the lived experience to see the entire "board"—how systems intersect, how they harm, and where the gaps lie.

Even now, while the world panics, I can speak for myself as a Black woman: I am not afraid. Where others see chaos, I see opportunity. I see the opportunity for a better future.

And honestly? We’ve been in training this whole time. Many of us have been called to leadership—formally and informally. We are the very “independence” the world keeps talking about. We’ve never been dependent on a system that was never built for us. So it’s no surprise that those who benefitted from that system are now panicking at the loss of their comforts. What they failed to realize is that those comforts came with fine print: no guarantees.

This system was always going to turn on them—just like it did us. The difference? We’ve never had the luxury of comfort. We were forged in discomfort. And the system made a mistake: it underestimated the very group it tried to keep at the bottom.

We are brilliant. We are powerful. We are visionary.
And now? We are rising.

Black women are the future. The world as we knew it is over—and a new world is being born. One that we are leading.

New Faces of Leadership White Women – You Are NOT the “Solution” for Women

The thing is, White Women—you don’t fool us Black Women either. One of the advantages Black women have in this society is our unique position, which has allowed us to see, study, and understand the entire chessboard of society. We see your actions, your behaviors, and the ways you maneuver beyond what you think you're getting over on us. And I have news for you: we don’t believe you’re the solution either.

Swapping men for women in leadership without changing the system itself is just more of the same. We know many of you have been waiting in the shadows of your male counterparts, hoping they’ll move aside or pass the baton to you once this world system finally dismantles. But let me be clear—based on our everyday experiences with you, whether in social settings or the workplace—absolutely not.

Not only are you part of the problem, but if this were plumbing, you’d be the tools funneling the shit. I believe I can speak for most Black women when I say: we don’t trust you. And as change is actively on the rise, we absolutely will not be leaving our future in any way, shape, or form up to you.

You have stolen from us at every chance you could, built your entire lives without even a mere consideration of us, and now that we have an opportunity to change the world on a more global scale—we aren’t leaving it to chance. This goes beyond politics. Even in that arena, you were tested, and once again—you failed. And that’s okay because now that we have that out of the way, we are entirely out of your way.

Most of you are even more dangerous than the men you create. You smile while hiding your dirty hands. As an entrepreneur, I wouldn’t even consider aligning my businesses with you because of the harm you bring, your ideologies, and your lack of real sisterhood—even among yourselves. The truth is, most of you don’t like Black women. And I believe that stems from a lifetime of being told you were the standard—only to cross paths with a beautiful Black woman and completely unravel.

Guess what? Most of this society has been built on lies—including the illusion of your superiority. But that’s a history white people, on average, would rather avoid discussing. Personally, I no longer have white friends—especially white women friends—because I know your truth. The truth you deflect from and refuse to face. And I value truth over delusion. Just remember: you can’t compete where you don’t compare.

And the most interesting part? You don’t even believe you’re dangerous. You don’t believe this criticism applies to you. If you’re reading this thinking, "Not me!"—NO, YOU.

The "word salad" and empty platitudes don’t work anymore. It’s accountability time. You claim to support Black women, yet you don’t invest in Black women-owned businesses. You believe, because society has propped you up as "better" than Black women—while being as bland as water—that you actually are better. But that’s simply not true.

In reality, you are just as bad, if not worse, than your white men in the workplace—and I can say from personal experience that this is true. Ask yourself: how many Black women-owned businesses have YOU financially invested in and supported without question?

At this point, with the rise of Reverse Innovation, marginalized communities need a space to heal from you. You steal our ideas, our creativity, and rebrand them as your own. Beyond Stanley cups and Lululemon, what have you trulyinnovated?

You sit in our faces claiming allyship while doing nothing to support our communities in ways that actually bring realchange—financially. It’s the same circular conversations and mental gymnastics. We don’t see you as the leaders we want or need for the future. The only leadership training you’ve had is under white men—the very system we are trying to break away from.

Black women have suffered—our livelihoods have suffered—at your hands. You push this narrative of "women’s empowerment" while ignoring the actual Black women who have endured the consequences of your vile behavior. You think we’ve forgotten? We haven’t.

We have every right to gatekeep our own future and ensure our OWN success—even if that means excluding you from the equation. What you, as white women, failed to account for was change. The times we’re in now are forcing accountability, and everything you’ve benefited from is blowing back—or even being stripped away from you. And one thing Black women will not be doing is coming to your aid.

This also means gatekeeping access to young Black girls. Don’t think we don’t see the disrespect you show toward them as well. Personally, I see it as critical that we center ourselves and young Black girls in the wake of these changes.

The days of "Oh, our men will take care of it" are over. Because, in case you haven’t noticed, your men aren’t stepping off their square to hand you anything—especially power and access.

And it goes without saying—this isn’t about ALL white women. But let’s be honest: it’s most of you. So much so that for all the white women who claim, "Oh, I’m not racist!" or "I have Black friends!"—ask yourself: why is racism still alive and well?

This is something white people could have done away with long ago, but instead, they have chosen not to—while quietly benefiting at the expense of our suffering.

And one final question: How many of you are actually ready to be led by Black women?

Exactly. My point.

White Men, the Workplace, and Their Problematic Behavior in Business

I’m not one to sugarcoat the truth. My focus is on Black women and girls, and one thing I can say with certainty is that I do not believe white men, over their long history of power hoarding, have done anything that extends beyond serving themselves collectively. It has never been about helping and supporting humanity as a whole. Instead, it has been about white men hoarding power and resources as a form of escapism and distraction from the real fact: their lack of intellect and ability to truly build anything substantial. It has always been about intentionally imposing suffering on the rest of the world, shifting and manipulating the system whenever they feel their dominance is being threatened, and never actually helping anyone but themselves.

Am I supposed to believe that white men—who regularly squander BILLIONS of dollars—are supposed to represent "good business"? That the same white men who bullied their way to the top of every industry—industries that are now failing and plagued with corruption—are supposed to be trusted to make sound decisions for humanity? Name one industry—just one—that isn’t fully exploited or tainted by corruption right now. I return to this question repeatedly, hoping that readers will begin to think about our current state on a systematic level. The reality is that their control over power has been a mistake for humanity, leading me to believe they were never actually meant to have such access in the first place.

White men suffer from a constant need for validation, a desperate attempt to be seen as superior to everyone else. But how can that be when, before a man even comes into existence, he must pass through the womb of a woman? That alone—by nature’s design—already deems him secondary. Time and time again, we see the same patterns: men with money gravitating toward circles of other men with money for the sake of ego, to flaunt wealth, and to be praised as if any of it truly matters to humanity. Yet their moral compass rarely aligns with actual change. They rely on smoke and mirrors, pretending to stand for progress while never actually committing to it.

We have white men in power who have long aged out yet refuse to step aside. White men who are utterly unqualified, sitting in rooms they don’t belong in—rooms they were never supposed to be in. With the shifts happening in the world, I believe they fear what’s ahead. They have marinated in their own mediocrity for so long that they have no idea how to function without dominance. The reality is setting in: not only are they losing control, but they were never the "chosen" group to wield power in the first place.

I see a future where true leaders emerge—not just white women, but women who have done the work to understand power and responsibility. White men have long used the workplace as a source of "ego empowerment." Having worked in many environments where their ideas and perspectives were centered, I can say with certainty that this is true. They enjoy the workplace because it serves as their playground—a space where they can exert control beyond their homes. It gives them unchecked access to women of all ages, especially since women are often forced to report to them. It’s a stage for them to flaunt what they perceive as intellect and belittle others with minimal consequences.

They misuse company dollars to fund their bro-sessions, lunches, and nightcaps, disguising them as business expenses. They cling to in-office workplaces, not for the work itself, but for the male ego boost—hence the fuss over "return to office" policies. It has never been about productivity; it has always been about maintaining spaces that coddle their lack of self-sufficiency. They thrive on workplace servitude, the performative act of signaling success to other men in power—"our numbers are up," "we are performing"—as if any of it holds real value.

Most women already recognize this. I’m simply saying the quiet part out loud. This behavior is a real problem, and it’s evident in their inability to take criticism while simultaneously expecting to be seen as "leaders." They refuse to listen to marginalized voices. They lack the capacity to consider others, and they certainly won’t put their money where their mouth is when it comes to investing in actual change. Why? Because they fear that their own mediocrity will be exposed. That they will have to face the harsh truth: "Maybe I’m not qualified. Maybe I don’t belong here."

The irony? They never were. Even by their own definitions of leadership, they fail to meet the standard.
