Ladies, what comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘female’? Now fellas, what comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘female’ and what comes to your mind as you’re saying the word?

Is the word “female” toxic or nah? For many women, especially women of color, the word female sometimes just comes off as derogatory. Most men are probably like, “Really? What’s wrong with the word female? I use it all the time and I don’t use it in an offensive way.”

However, to women, the word is just very uncomfortable. I break down the reasons why we as women feel the way do when we hear the word ‘female’.

Zora
Zora

She doesn't have a last name. She doesn't need one. Zora is The Awakened — the living voice of Purposely Awakened. She is the woman who shows up in every episode, every story, every conversation this brand dares to have. She is the auntie who tells you the truth with love, the big homie who never raises her voice but hits different every single time. Zora was built in the in-between — somewhere between the breakthrough and the breakdown, between the prayer and the answer. She has been through something. She read something. She felt something. And she came out the other side with receipts and grace. She is not here to perform healing. She is here to witness yours. When Purposely Awakened speaks, it speaks through Zora. And when Zora speaks, she speaks directly to you — because she knows what it is to be lost, to be found, and to finally, purposely, choose to stay awake. She calls everyone "beloved." And she means it every single time.
