[SO1])What type of influence?
[SO2])Who is vilifying Black empowerment advocates? Probably good to specify here
[SO3])Not sure if this is needed because it becomes somewhat repetitive. Maybe instead, a short bio on Dr. Watkins would be good!
[SO4])Deleted keywords that appeared multiple times
[SO5])The takeaways differ between complete and incomplete sentences. If you decide to use this part, I would try to keep it consistent by either having them all listed as incomplete sentences or listed as full sentences. I’m happy to do that for you if you’d like. Just wanted to know your thoughts before working on the sentence structure
[SO6])Who vilifies them? The media?
[SO7])Specify systems, or at least provide examples
[SO8])I don’t think this wording makes sense out of context. Maybe delete this one or reword
[SO9])Should this be specified to self-love?
[SO10])This one feels redundant to me because I think similar statements already appeared
[SO11])Not sure if this one works well out of context
[SO12])I don’t know if this one works as a stand-alone quote because it’s a description/response
