    Description

    Across a naked pregnant belly are projected labels waiting to be affixed to the child, from racial slurs to gendered pejoratives to terms of affection. Unspoken is the 151st myth – Michele Wallace’s ‘myth of superwoman’ – the expectation that a Black mother be supernaturally strong and capable.
