Hundreds of years ago, she was taken from Africa and put on display in Europe, where people treated her like an object instead of a person.  Sarah Baartman Today, Megan and Cardi use their bodies in music and videos by choice, showing confidence and making money.  The question is even though they are in control, are they really free from the same old idea of people treating Black women’s bodies as something to stare at and judge?
