@BeingJWood Cause you’re probably talking to people who said they are Christian and not people with actual relationships with Christ…

Congrats to UConn! This is definitely a great state to live in!

Gamecocks had a perfectly season and we see how mainstream media is covering it.

You can be perfect and Black with televised evidence thereof…

I love a churchy Black!

@youLOVEtani I said the same to a guy and he said “well you’re gonna be sad if you’re alone or sad if you’re with me, so you might as well be with me.”

My response: “Everyone in my house will be nice to me, even if I’m the only person in here!”

@moorehn I always find it sooo amusing when people find out that my Black self ranks highly by class markers. They walked directly into that knowledge by asking if I’m first gen college (nope, I’m 4th) and what my parents do for work.
Assumptions got you again!

@heymrsbond Every day of med school involved reading at least 100 pages and grasping that info well enough to manipulate and apply it by the next day. Minoring in English was and still is my literal superpower.

@ask_aubry Love this! Behaving like that to get your meal subsidized is truly unhinged. We are splitters but we all have the exact same job and we actually run the restaurant by the group before any reservations are made!

@RNSuperHero When we finish residency, there will be nothing that mandates a day off in 14 except negotiating a good contract so there may be some value to working 2 weeks straight. At minimum, you’ll know that you can survive it (should your attending job require it!)

@DrBritWilliams To splash some razzle dazzle on that
“Are you married?”
Me: To medicine!
“Do you have kids?”
Me: what?!?! Absolutely not! (While looking aghast at such a question)

For extra sprinkles I’ll add “I outsourced having kids to my best friend.”

@VanessaCariddi Band kid tapping in. Still best friends with the girl who beat me for 1st chair in 7th grade…24 years in!
I’d suggest a time consuming activity like band or orchestra which means multiple practices/week to facilitate friendships.

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@Frediculous For sure! Lots of women are showing up with a 6 figure bag so guys hoping finances will make up for looks might find that the threshold for money to do the heavy lifting is high, like 3x what she makes high!

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@DeborahDivine_ And if you let your emotions lead, hard boundaries about where to let them lead to are necessary.

You should always be able to leave with ONLY the things you arrived with: no extra ppl or legally binding contracts!

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

I’ll never forget the time a lighter skinned Black man told me I should be grateful to him because our kids wouldn’t be as dark. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
What a bold assertion considering there were never going to be any kids.

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@DrBritWilliams A joint account after marriage that actually contains all your money is also dizzy.

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@Frediculous I’ve looked at a few dudes and thought “you think you can meet my dad? He’d laugh you out the house!”
Good dads don’t play!

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@NnukwuMama Also, beware that the guy can get massively jealous if you’re the girl that steps up. I know someone who was accused of trying to steal the man’s wife bc she was bowing a good friend to her and keeping their baby for free.😑😑😑😑

[Church Girl MD PhD @philpurple]

@NnukwuMama This is why you have to listen to what men say and then extrapolate how that will affect you.
Complaining about legitimate thing is whining?
That means you can’t complain about postpartum, getting your appendix out, etc.
Believe him when he tells you who he is!
