Low Self -Esteem as Black Woman

My Struggles With Self -Esteem

I have often felt that being female, and black, in the UK counts as a double whammy against me in society.

I've believed that I have to be twice as vigilant, twice as hardworking, twice as careful as everybody else to get the same result.

I have also felt taken advantage of and mistreated, and that it is difficult for me to relax into British society.
