"There is a frequent saying from many men in the Black community as it relates to the women in their lives, “Be my Peace.” Most say it without explaining what is meant. In reviewing Black women’s response to this statement, some women seem to embrace the notion while others see it as one more expectation placed on women in a patriarchal society. Is it fair for men to request that women be their p-e-a-c-e? And those who don’t, are they destined to be become their p-i-e-c-e? Does it even matter? And how does it impact the effort to have a healthy Black relationship?"
