Please tell me your opinion🙂

Lately, there has been a trend of men telling women how to become more of a woman. There are podcasts, TikTok's, YouTube, a full Facebook post of men telling women what they are doing wrong because men don't think we are "feminine" enough. Although it's not just men, women also make full videos on h...

Ya'll I am a little bit more conservative when it comes to showing skin. But what I've recently realized is that I don't wanna show to much arm. I never knew that I was kind of insecure about it til I literally said "that's too much skin, lemme put on a sweater".🤦🏾‍♀️ Which is interesting, so I'm going to try to be more ok with showing my arms.

Growing up in the church, the power of the tongue is taught in your Sunday school classes. Well at least in mines. Often, we forget that what you say has a lot more power than what you think.
When you speak negatively of your life, then you allow negative things to enter your life and trust me, it will!!
Today's message watch what you say. But also, speak positive affirmations over yoursf and the people around you. Speak positive thoughts and energy over yourself.
Proverbs 16:24(AMP) Pleasent words are like honeycomb, sweet and delightful to the sound and healing to the body.

Lately, there has been a conversation on black movies. For decades, black movies has exist within a certain genre and stereotypes. Usually, the movie takes place in the hood, civil rights Era or slavery. These types of movies always talking about somebody being a baby mama, black men selling drugs or how somebody lived through some type of oppression. This generation is really tired of seeing these movies.
Yes, the movies that exist in these genres are classics. Movies like Friday, Boyz in the Hood, even Roots are all part of black cultural moments and are cultural classics. But these movies do talk about black trauma.
The black community is tired of the same type of movies that include black people. We wanna see ourselves in every genre. We wanna see ourselves in different characters as well. Movies like The photograph, Black Panther are perfect examples of what black people can portray without any oppression being added to it.
I think black people are always winning awards for black trauma that still affect us today. We also watch movies to escape and not relive. We have to support ALL types of black stories. Stop putting us in a box!!

I AM OVER DIASPORA WARS!! The way everybody dismisses each other makes me really sad. NO ONE seems to care about the other person's perspective. The fact some ya'll think slavery is a joke says enough about you. The face that some ya'll think that Africans are poor is mad weird and do some research. This will be my first and only time talking about this. As an African American, I am proud of what my ancestors has accomplished for me to even breathe more freely than they did. Just like most displaced Africans, my culture was built from the ground up. Just because you only believe stereotypes, is not my job to change your mind. You have to want to do that on your own. Lastly, I stand for ALL BLACK PEOPLE. Unlike some of your opinions on aa, I actually care what happens to ALL BLACK PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD!!!! ANY BLACK SLANDER TOWARDS ANY BLACK PERSON WILL BE BLOCKED!!

So, I was going to come on here and talk about protecting black women but that is a conversation for another day. I wanna talk about being single.
At the ripe old age of 25, I've struggled with wanting and not wanting a relationship. There are some days were all I can think is of would be happier in a relationship. Other days, I could care less about being with someone.
Singleness has me more aware of myself and how I think about myself. But also, singleness can be lonely. Social media and seeing your friends being in relationships can make you think twice.
I've prayed about it then when someone comes to talk to me, I question whether or not this is meant to be so I normally don't let it get far before I end it.
All that to say, I think being single is a struggle that most people don't talk about. I also think being single can be very rewarding and can hender you. Singleness is complicated and that's ok.

Recently, I have really been pushing to support our Nigerian brothers and sisters as they try to end police brutality in Nigeria. Learning about whats happening in Nigeria really made me more aware on a global scale. Sometimes as Black Americans, we often focus on what's happening to us here in America. We worry about our own struggles because of history here as African Americans and rightfully so. Black Lives Matter has become a global movement because Black people around the world empathize with our struggle within their own country.
As African Americans, we are always grateful for it but a lot of times we only think that Black Lives Matter is only limited to us. Partially because we are not exposed to what's happening in the rest of the world as often as we should be. Other times, when we do hear about other foreign black people struggles, we kind dismiss it as if ours is worse. For some, we think that Black people only exist in about 3 places. Though often times, we just don't hear about other black people experiences. With the internet, I think we are starting to become more global and realizing that their are black people outside of America, Jamica and the continent of Africa.
So, what does that mean for us? How does black america now apply BLM globally? If I was to talk to most Black Americans, they would tell you that they are for all black life and when they say that, they aren't thinking of any particular location. But now, we really have to apply that the phrase Black Lives Matter outside of America. We have to apply it to any black life who is discriminated around the world!!!
Now, when I put it that way, it sounds crazy. Does that mean traveling? Does that mean trying to change laws in other countries? Does that mean running for offices in other countries? The answer to all of that is no. I don't expect you to leave the country if you don't have any money or run for any office. Most times, all you have to do is show your support. Spread awareness, use social media to tell people what is happening to black people around the world, and donate to organizations that actually helps the people in the community. If you want, you could form your own protest in your local community. All you have to do is speak in the same way you speak up for Black Americans.
Now, while you are fighting for black people around the world, make sure you do your research. Look at couple of articles that are credible and see what the people from that community is saying. Don't just repost to repost, take the time and learn what you are reposting. Who knows, maybe this could bridge a gap.

Everyday for the past week, I've been keeping up with what's going on in Nigeria and my heart is broken. I have tried to spread as much information as possible. Although I am not Nigerian, I can empathize with what is going on. Police brutality happens all around the world and when these places support black Americans, we need to support them in their time of need. All I am simply asking is to spread awareness. if you can do more, that's great too. Just show support to other black people around the world.

As a community, we need to just take a break. All year we've been fighting but sometimes you have to take care of you. Today, let's take care of self. Do what brings you joy today. We can come back tomorrow and fight. But today, focus on you.

While I'm glad we are fighting for our black men and women who are being killed by black police officers all the time. While I'm glad b/c of this movement laws are changing. While I'm glad this movement is providing information and changing peoples minds. All this and more I am glad that we are coming together to make a change, I still worry.
The black community has yet to talk about our black LGBTQIA community. They too are also dying the same way. I know everyone thinks we are talking about them but some of you aren't. Black LGBTQIA are still black lives being lost and we need just to go as hard for them too. You don't have to be their best friend but the same you fight for straight black life, you need to fight for our Black LGBTQIA.
Some of ya'll is not going to like this, I'm ok with that. I don't want no comment about theu are trying to impose their life on you b/c they're not‼️‼️‼️ They just want equal treatment just like the rest of us!!!
