Thirteen Black Women in Horror: Is God Is with Kara Young and Mallori Johnson

The season finale closes on reclaimed power and righteous vengeance, the full-circle answer to everything the earlier arcs stripped away.

I want to feel why this meant so much to the characters. These girls were desperate. I work very hard to love my life. The importance of healing so that you don't live your life through trauma.
