Kendall doesn’t merely believe in feminism — she believes that her experience as a Black girl who has endured poverty makes her one of its true evangelists. When it comes to true support for women and girls, Kendall knows what it is. And what it’s not.That’s why I’m highlighting Mikki Kendall in today’s edition of “Black History, Uncensored,” our series dedicated to Black authors targeted by right-wing book bans.
For women of all ages, sexual violence is a real possibly, if not a painful memory. Republican efforts to ban books that address this suggest a level of acceptance with women and girls experiencing this violence, but no tolerance for discussing it.As an adult I can look back and see that my mother was probably afraid for me, because I was so far from her idea of a respectable young lady.

In fact, having a kangaroo for a pet is legal in Texas, but you'll need a large enclosure and beware you could have trouble finding a vet. Texas is home to many exotic pets that are kept legally including lemurs, sloths, monkeys, Capybaras (they're big rodents that look like guinea pigs) and spotted genets (which are small cats.) Generally speaking, no special license is needed but you should check with your city or town to find out if there are any local restrictions. And remember, exotic animals often need a special diet.
