This reflection hit me right in the chest. The way you tied Jessie and Hattie's stories to the “First vs. Best” theory... it really sheds light on how much emotional and creative labor goes into being the first in any space, especially as a Black woman (a client of mine recently published a book on this exact theme). Thank you for reminding us to not only honor these women’s legacies but to consider the cost of their contributions.
