Carnival is, quite literally, Caribbean ppl celebrating not being slaves. Celebrating the fact we SURVIVED the most barbaric + most evil system of human exploitation in history. That’s why it’s so loud, so colourful, so free. It’s black joy. The antithesis of the far right
I look around at my friends and most women I know, and they have careers, they have apartments that they pay for, they constantly are going on trips, they have hobbies, they have friends, they eat at the best restaurants. They have entire fucking lives that are completely self funded. And yet there is this bizarre cultural narrative going on that if you are 32 and single, something must have gone wrong. But the problem we're having is not that we cannot find anyone to date. The problem is finding someone whose presence would make our already good life better. We are the first generation of women who can genuinely ask, "but do I actually like this man enough to build a life around him?" And apparently that question has resulted in a bit of a staffing shortage.
being a self-aware person doesn't mean i view myself as a good person. i think a lot of people get that confused. it literally means that i am vigilant of both my light and dark side. i have also made peace with my flaws even though i'm always working through them
Pastor preached on Jezebel and Ahab and talked about how Jezebel couldn’t make Ahab do shit he didn’t wanna do and can’t no woman pull a man to do anything that he hadn’t already decided to do and the church house got REAL QUIET ON THE CREEK
No man that loves me will watch me get on hormonal birth control. Wherever needs to be done contraception wise will not come at the expense of my wellbeing and the ecosystem of my body. Selah.
Like I said before, it is much better for black actors from the US and UK to use their US and UK accents in a fantasy than do this caricature of an accent that is trying desperately to be "African".
Just like the actors in Odyssey were not trying to do some bullshit Greek accent and instead everyone spoke in their normal accent. No one said they should sound like people of the time. I think it is perfectly fine for Idris Elba and Viola Davis and Damson, and Mofe-Damijo to use their normal accents for a black fantasy film set in a fantasy land. (Because even the authors maps were made up). Black people sound different from each other and some black people sound American and British. Even if it was set in Nigeria, different Nigerian ethnicities sound very very different from each other.
There is no need to create this weird accent that everyone tries to do and ends up sounding like they have hot pottage in their mouths. There is already enough accent diversity among the cast that this should have been sufficient. African Americans especially need to let go of that disaster of an "African" accent.
that woman lost her son. she hasn’t returned to work since.
since then, white women have been flooding her medical office with bad reviews about her practice because she wants justice for her deceased child.
The problem with a lot of you is that you want feminism to be a tool for men to be good enough so you can date them without guilt. Feminism is not about men, it’s about women’s liberation. Be better and do better for yourself.
Your only daily contribution to feminism cannot be calling women “birds.” You cannot want women punished more than you want the men who hurt them to face consequences. Any feminism that delights in women’s humiliation has abandoned its purpose. Check your own misogyny.
I believe in divorce like mad because forever is a long time, and whether you're a woman or a man, you should not have to condemn yourself to unhappiness for the rest of your life.
First , they said that your wife is not your family .
We swallowed it .
They now said that if your wife is in labour and your friend gets shot and has already been rushed to the hospital, that you should leave your wife and go be with your friend that was shot coz childbirth is not a death sentence.
We use am rub body .
Now, these same people are telling us that a wife is a SQUATTER in a house that she occupies with her husband.
Do you people know that it’s okay to be gay ? Even though I don’t think you deserve love in any form .
A moving woman (me) will have it all. The career that fulfills her. The love that steadies her. The properties in her name. The passport full of stamps. 🤞
Bro I’m married and life still dey enjoyable 😅
By summer, me and my family are heading to Sun Retreats Sherkston Shores in Ontario. Every Saturday I take my kids to gymnastics, midweek they go swimming, Sundays na church, sometimes we visit friends and do small hangout.
The point is simple: there’s fun for everybody in Canada, you just have to find your own version of it.
Most people only focus on parking shifts back to back, then come online to say Canada is boring 😭
Abeg, find your fun.
