In successful families and communities, the doctor kid gets calls about medicine, the lawyer answers questions about law, the hair cousin does everybody’s hair, the accountant friend does everybody’s taxes.
And so resources (wealth, time, etc) are kept IN the family/community

She’s a Black woman who is proud of her body, isn’t ashamed of having multiple public relationships, raps about sex, & testified against her abuser which led to him going to prison. They all want to “humble” her & punish her. Just like recently Joe Budden was saying she needed to be held accountable. But couldn’t really explain what for. Lol.
it’s always funny when someone tries to quietly work their way back into your good graces. no conversation, no accountability, just a sudden increase in friendliness like we’re all supposed to forget how we got here.
This reminds me of my niece telling her teacher she wanted me to speak on career day. That lady asked her what I do and she told her I travel to have meetings with men that pay me lots of money and comes back with gifts for her. She called my godsister like ummm we can’t promote that kind of work to the kids but no judgement from me. Now mind you I’m a publicist 😭
sounds like two people responsible and self-aware enough to know what they’re equipped to handle, and opted to avoid bringing a child into the world who would suffer and they would resent. 🤷🏾♀️
Kids will get you locked up.
A lil girl in my son’s class told her teacher that she takes baths with her uncle.
So of course, they did their investigation.
Tell me why the uncle is 2 years old.
Look, I think y’all are talking past each other.
@iamcardib, I believe you when you say you didn’t mean to hurt Latto and that you’ve been trying to make it right. But intent and impact aren’t always the same thing. You might not have meant it the way it came out, but it still landed on someone you called a friend.
@Latto , I understand why that hurt. You were pregnant, emotional, helping someone you cared about, and then suddenly you’re seeing something negative attached to your name publicly. Anybody would feel a way about that.
But here’s the thing: I don’t hear hatred from either one of y’all. I hear hurt. Cardi feels misunderstood because she’s been trying to apologize. Latto feels hurt because the apology didn’t erase how the situation made her feel. Y’all have spent more time talking about the situation than talking to each other.
At some point, somebody has to decide whether the goal is to be right or to heal. Because if the friendship meant anything, then a private conversation is worth more than a thousand interviews, tweets, lyrics, or think pieces. And if after that conversation y’all still decide you’re not meant to be friends anymore, at least it’ll be based on the truth and not assumptions.
