Y’all confused about the “break” Black folk are taking because you never read “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?”

It took me longer to heal because there was no justice for what happened to me.

It’s wayyyyyy riskier to have a 9-5 job than to try something new.. I said what I said. Just one you pay the price in the future for a very long time.

Your child’s other parent is an adult. It’s not your responsibility to accommodate them, ensure they talk to their kid, or check if they’re okay—especially when you’re already handling full-time parenting. 💯

Your ancestor who married the widow and raised her kids wasn’t called a “simp” or mocked for “settling” by getting with a single mom.


This shaming attitude toward single moms & the men who step up and raise their kids is a new development.


Historically, and biblically, men were expected to care for the fatherless. Communities were expected to look out for single moms.


Men who look down on single moms are weak, simple-minded and simply not masculine by definition.

Your mother wound is still valid even if:


• Your sibling doesn't feel the same.
• You only recently remembered it.
• You feel love towards your mom.
• Your other parent doesn't see it.
• It happened a long time ago.
• Other people had it "worse.
• Your mom "tried her best."
• Your mom was/is wealthy.
• People don't believe you.
• Your mom "meant well."
• Your mom was abused.
• You're successful.

I wish more moms talked about what it feels like to be robbed of their motherhood journey. Instead of savoring moments with their little ones, they’re stuck in survival mode—just trying to make it to bedtime.

Parents will justify their abusive behavior towards their as children as “tough love”.
A lot of them don’t realize they are conditioning their children to be abused by “friends”, romantic partners and supervisors in the future.

As a mom I’ll never apologize for being overprotective of my child.
Having a healthy and happy child is not something that happens by accident.
It comes from creating environmental stability and psychological safety.

A lot of spiritual people wonder why it’s hard for them to work a 9-5 & it’s because your spirit knows that it’s supposed to be creating & being , not just doing !!!
