My blackness shouldn’t be an afterthought to rectify a situation where your racism was louder than your ability to be kind. My love of my blackness as well as my desire to be PRO- BLACK doesn’t mean I don’t want others to win. I just want to see BLACK folks WIN and LIVE too! That’s fair right?

I love a lot of things. One thing I love for sure is food. Whenever I am invited out to have a drink, brunch or dinner I run right to that website and look at the menu.

Don’t allow anyone Yuck Your Yum it is so important that YOU, don’t yuck anyone else’s yum. You may see things you don’t agree with. Unless it is requested just let people be.

The gratitude could be for something big or something small even down to something you are wearing. My mind immediately went to the Pandora bracelet I was wearing.

Over the years I have lived in some pretty dark places emotionally and mentally. Struggling to have regulated nervous system. Never believing I was worth love from myself or anyone else. It took years to evolve, grow and start to love me.

Folks really don’t like Black women. The truth is, folks get real uncomfortable when Black women become too successful. It feels like you start winning too much, it’s like, “Who does she think she is?”
