This is a space to chill out and relax! So kick your feet up, and sip a little slower, we got time!

> **Rules:**

Rules can be found in the [Community Document](/r/blackladies/wiki/rules), which also describes the purpose of this community and how it is conducted. If you are new to the community, you should read it before engaging.

> **What this sub is for:**

Well, anything really! We’re a broad and varied collective of women, with a plethora of interests and unique voices, and (almost) nothing is off limits. Wanna talk about how your day went? Go for it! Wanna talk about how your day didn’t go? That’s cool, too. Self-posts and linked posts are both encouraged, as we want to encourage discussion, foster a sense of community, and provide a positive and inclusive space. Anything that you want to discuss or find interesting, including but not limited to:

* fashion
* fitness
* sex, love, family, friends and relationships
* culture, technology and current events
* television and movies
* juicy celebrity gossip
* funny, silly, or irreverent stories and articles

...you get the idea. We are the cool kids and the nerds, the fashionistas and the bohemians, the ratchet and the intellectual. All narratives are welcome. 


>**Resources**

We understand that, occasionally, the topic of race will come up in discussion. While everyone is welcome here, fundamental awareness of [privilege](https://sindeloke.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/37/) and [intersectionality](https://www.law.columbia.edu/pt-br/news/2017/06/kimberle-crenshaw-intersectionality) is expected. Do not derail, do not concern troll and do not tone police. If these concepts are foreign to you, feel free to peruse some of the sites and articles listed below for a clue:
