Man time is going by so fast. I can't keep up. I think its because the weather is jacked up. Like for real two days ago it was summer and then it was winter and today it was Spring. I mean I live in the South where it is always just a few degrees above fish grease hot. But this is getting out of hand. I mean it's December and on Saturday folks was wearing shorts. Listen here I am gonna wear my boots in December...OKAY!!! Deal with it. Seriously, I will wear a tank dress and some UGGs cuz that is what an OG does! On my way from visiting Bae yesterday I got a damn speeding ticket. I rarely ever speed cuz I hate giving the people my damn money. But I was flying down the expressway listening to a novel on Audible and looked up and this mofo was right in front of me. I knew he was gonna stop me so I let a friend know to stay on the phone with me. Cuz Fuck that!! I am not trying to be no casualty. Police out here killing black peepo. I mean I think about how much black women stand in the gap for everybody. When they shoot black men we organize the march and confront the people. We climb the flagpole and take down the confederate flag. Thanks Bree for being a WWRS!!
Sisters do we feel like brothers stand in the gap for us? I mean I have some amazing men in my life but, I have also encountered a lot of real trifling brothers too. I have noticed when black men treat black women bad in the workplace it is a painful thing. Chile please! I have experienced some of the worst type of betrayal from men who looked like me that I thought were gonna hold me down. Have you ever noticed these type of men always seem to have issues with they Mommas? Sisters if you dating a man and he got issues with his Momma that could possibly be a red flag. I could give examples but I know I don't have too cuz ya'll feel me on this. Or maybe I should just say R. Kelly and Kanye lost all they shit at the deaths of their Moms. Some men can work through their issues because they have certain coping skills but, honey some can't. Just know these ones who can't are out here in the world working on jobs with real people. You ever been talking to a grown ass man on yo job thinking keep talking to me like this and I am gonna put these hollow points in yo life? Hello Internets Holla if ya hear me! I have worked with some men that I just go into intercessory prayer for their wives because Ma'am yo husband is an asshole in real life and I know he treat you like shit cuz he don't know how to act in public or how to talk to other grown ups. Sometimes I wonder if they know that the shit they saying is not only mad disrespectful but, dumb AF!! I'm in a lot of beef groups on FB. I notice even in those groups there are dudes who jump in yo inbox and try to holla. When you curve them they lose it. The next thing you know they are coming for you like yo stole they GI Joe men or some shit like that. How??!! I was so fine and pretty five minutes ago now I am a bitch. Well that escalated quickly. Yes this toxicity is even on the internet too. Men have found a way to harass and abuse women on Facebook. That shit is just plain sad.
Something is wrong in our community between black women and black men and ain't nobody trying to fix it Hell ain't nobody really even talking about it. Shit! if Martin Luther King was alive in this day and age folks would have all his business on World Star and most people wouldn't follow him. Cuz I think we lost some shit with integration. Yeah I said it. We lost being a community of folks working together to get somewhere. Education and technology has made some of us think we no longer need to worry about our fellow man. But we aint living in no post racial time! We still living in post slavery time believe that. How in the hell are white people out here talking about public hangings aka lynchings in 2018? The radicalization of the white male ain't no new shit we been seen that since the KKK. was wearing sheets. Real talk ladies I am just saying I should not fear for my life at a routine traffic stop. My hands was shaking like a leaf. I was nervous like a hooker in church trying to find my credentials. I just have to go back to why we don't feel safe as women out here in these streets. Seriously! So I had to go back and see my mental health professional for a follow up and ya'll know I don't like her ass off gate. But she was spitting some real game today. She was talking about how Veterans get treated no matter who is in office. How in the hell do we still have WWII and Vietnam Veterans who can't get money to survive out here. That is some straight bullshit. We got folks over 90 years old fighting to get some damn benefits from the VA. Back to my point. We started talking about PTSD. I was discussing with her the trauma we face as women. Okay I might have started to like her a little bit after today. I don't know we gone just wait and see on that. But seriously just driving a car and getting stopped by the police is a traumatic experience for black folks in America. So beautiful sisters let me remind you to take care of yo mental health. No matter if you take meds or puff trees to take the edge off take care of you Boo. It's rough out here in these streets. Do yo yoga! Burn yo sage, incense and candles. Moisturize and use all the butters. Diffuse your essential oils. Eat yo veggies! Buy you some waist beads or a belly chain even if you stomach ain't flat. Go to brunch with yo favorite girlfriends.....and go for the bottomless Mimosas or Marys. Side eye the shit outta somebody asking you why are you wearing rain boots and it ain't raining....it was raining when I put them on tho!!! Maybe you are not where you want to be but Praise God you ain't where you used to be! Stay ready ladies that way you don't have to get ready! Peace and Hair Grease til next time!
PS For all the folks asking me about a podcast I don't know how to do that shit for real but I promise I will post a video here real soon. Thanks again for following me, subscribing and inviting your friends.



We gottta Stand up for each other!!! We need each other in our lives.
Love this and so true! I like the part about how women step in the gap, and how we should do whatever we need to do to recharge and take care of our mental health! #message
