30 is when you first realize how damn young you are, that you’ve got a lot of years ahead of you, that your actions carry longterm consequences and that you’ve only recently gained a fully developed brain capable of processing all of that.
I hear you want somebody you can call boo. I will change my name to Boo and fuck around and call you now what you wanna do............
Because,
whatever that may be baby I wan do that too.
My organization centers the Black community, specifically Black women.
The fact that a non-Black person was invited into the space and responded condescendingly to a Black woman as if her criticism was rooted in jealously and clout chasing is peak caucasity.
Issa no for me.
I’ve accepted that I’m not for some people and some people are not for me because of this.
I always drive myself, communicate ahead of time not to “wait” on me because how I was stressing and compromising my needs to be on time/accommodating to others was hurting me.
People: Why should I have to tolerate you being late?
Me: You don’t, and I’d prefer you didn’t. Let’s not meet up anymore.
People: . . .
Me: Oh, this was the part where I promise to try harder and feel like you’re secretly grading me over five minutes, right? No thanks.
Stop minimizing what you have been through. Start seeking support beyond your friends to help u sort through the pain and ur internal stories. Soothing with substances, work, sex or projecting “fierceness” alone isn’t gonna help you find your way to emotional freedom
Saying that dark skinned women are jealous of light skinned or biracial women implies that YOU think there’s something for us to be jealous of. Stop projecting y’all internalized anti-Blackness and colorist views onto us.
I got a job. I got a home to live in. I’m not missing any meals. Bills are being paid. I got a car to drive. Family doing fine. I got breath in my body. It’s more than enough reason to tell the Lord Thank You🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wish Brandon Blackwood would’ve handled this differently and had a PR/Comms person respond.
However, there’s a lot to be said about folks popping off on the socials and taking themselves and friends out of opportunities for RTs.
