My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
I want a black gynecologist, black doctor, black midwife, black therapist, black chiropractor, black dermatologist all that. After seeing everything goin on in the world, I need everything health related in black.
2 Chainz celebrated his daughter Heaven graduating high school with a 4.0 GPA and being accepted into Howard University:
“Out of all the things I’ve accomplished in my lifetime, this is at the top.”
Twin sisters Tia and Jasmin will graduate as valedictorian and salutatorian of Cheyney University, the nation’s oldest HBCU. Their excellence, resilience, and sisterhood embody the power of Black education and Black brilliance. Their late father would surely be proud. 🙏🏿
a lady said before bed write this down:
“i am worthy of miracles that don't require me to be exhausted."
