Abstract:
This article revisits several challenges that some Black and African American women have faced exasperating to be included in the dominant society and to be deemed relevant in the world in which they live. Since there are few Black women in high places, there are limited spaces to access and have their voices and opinions on what they feel and who they really are. Overtime, white women and men have often told the stories of Black women from his or her point of view. They have gone as far as to even express to them how they feel or think about ethical issues. Plus, many white women and men have decided for Black women how they should live out their lives and what is best for them. "Unsilenced and Redeemed" sets out to bring light to this growing problem for Black women and focus on the prognosis to set the record straight in order to enhance their quality of life, to be taken serious in their plight to bring back their God given purpose, and to know what is ethical and unethical for them.

In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
