As women of color serving in the ranks of the military, the term “Freedom” isn’t free. I paid for it, and it goes far beyond the traditional call of duty. As African-American females, we constantly have to fight to prove our value not only as women but as someone who deserves equality and fair labor rights. We have to fight for a life free from racial discrimination, gender discrimination, sexual assault and harassment, and other conditions and sacrifices. We tend to grow accustomed to feeling guarded and, after time, develop a desensitized method of processing everyday issues and emotions. Well, we no longer keep silent. No! We are Unleashing the Roar of all our sisters!
