Black women are pushing against the narrative that says they can only choose one side of the thot or not respectability spectrum with the #icanbeboth campaign. The hashtag was actually conceived a year and a half ago by Tumblr user BrownGirlBlues.

But it’s become popular just recently, as black women are becoming increasingly vocal about casual sexism and misogyny within black culture.

I can be a marketing and events specialist for one of the most frequented restaurants/venues in DC and also be a sultry burlesque artist who embraces her sexuality. #ICanBeBoth #blackgirlmagic
