Join the #inmyblackfeelings family meeting on Tues. Oct 22 at 12 pm ET so that we can expand the meaning of domestic violence and include systems of patriarchy, racism, colorism, etc.
Drop a Purple Heart in the comments if you want a reminder to join the family meeting or set your reminder HERE: imbf.donnaoriowo.com/
It’s World Mental Health Day and I want to help us be as aware as we can be.
This idea of powerlessness is repeatedly showing up in the therapy room because we’re constantly watching several genocides on social media, experiencing natural disasters, relationships are ending, and job sht be shtty.
I want you to:
1. Remember that you are SANE in an insane system.
2. Hit me in the comments and let me know what is one action you can take today, this week or this month, to support your mental health?
There is violence in reducing a person to an object and then making that object your possession. This system strips individuals of their autonomy, transforming them into assets who are unable to exist independently with their own thoughts and humanity for those in positions of power, rather than people who yearn, dream, think, want, and grow. In this pursuit to dehumanize others, the oppressors end up dehumanizing themselves and thus become people who hoard the pensions of wealth to prove superior personhood to other oppressors.
Based on this little bit of text from the book, what do you think it means? What comes up for you? 👀
With all of the things happening in the world right now, it’s important for us to check in with ourselves and our community. Vulnerability is needed to take care of yourself and allow your community to take care of you. During last weeks In My Black Feelings family meeting we shared ways to take care of ourselves when the world feels and social media looks quite ridiculous. Click here for 3 things that came up for us: https://youtu.be/M3M9U9mquWM?feature=...
It's #BreastCancerAwareness month. And while we may enjoy the look of our boobs and may also enjoy the feel of em, we also need to try for the health of em. No, you don’t owe me or anyone else health, but this is your reminder, if you haven’t done so already, to get to touching and checking those breastasis.
Friend, this is your reminder to mind your business and take care of your f*cking self.
We have to remember that women and Black people are socialized to help other people to their own detriment in order to be seen as good and valuable, and this conditioning has us F*cked all the way up!
I think a lot of people hear the words ‘Mind your business’ and take it the wrong way, but what I am talking about is Minding yourself aka take care of YOU!
Mind your matter. Actually pay attention to what is going on in your life and what it is that you need. That is all.
I have a video that has more context on this topic and tips on how to do so, but you’re going to have to click this link to check it out: https://youtu.be/7HGdozJ8hJw?feature=...
ICYMI A woman on TikTok asked other women if living with men is something she should look forward to in her life and there were over eight thousand responses - most of them saying “Nah.”
But I want to know your thoughts! Hit me in the comments:
Do something to make you smile. True self care doesn’t require you to go broke in order for you to have it. I hope today is the day you sleep in, take a nap, go touch some grass, and eat some good food. Hopefully you don’t do any Labor today.
