    Sis, why you want to be mediocre though? Rest is not about mediocrity, it's about self care and love of self at his best, to me that is true excellence... How can love and mediocrity go hand in hand?

    Great conversation ladies!! I cant be soft and emotional because I'm too busy surviving. I don't trust because no one has given me a reason to trust them. I suffered from depression for years in private. Even now if I'm not careful and don't pay attention to the signs it tries to sneak up on me. Thank you for this conversation.

    How beautiful is this. I have so much on my heart for this conversation. When someone decides to transition to womanhood, they're gonna realize it gets HARDER in EVERY way. Being biologically a black woman feels like the hardest thing to embody. There is no instruction manual for how to deal with the world and the society you are a product of. "I'm tired." I really felt that. Sometimes getting out of bed takes every bit of strength I pray for. When the woman mentioned the death of her husband, felt that too. Though you cant control that, it happens often. And you are never ready for it 🤧 Don't get me started on luxury. We want that not out of greed, but out of wanting rest. Spiritually and physically.

    Needed to hear this. I'm always tired. My body has forced me to step out of the wheel. If I don't fight the societal pressure to be "on 24/7," I'm not gonna be on long. I still feel massive guilt when I rest, and it's going to take a lot of prayer and CBT to undo that. I have folx who take care of me a bit. Trying to learn to receive and just be has been a 5 year and ongoing process.

    Black women have been the most inclusive people for centuries. They even raised their oppressors' children. Now they have to make room for men who try to look like them in a stereotypical way, talk on their behalf and even boast about stealing their men. I'm sorry but that's not it.

    Women? Really? A quarter of the panel has XY chromosomes. But besides that... BW claim to be tired but call themselves "alpha females." Quick to call relationships/marriages "partnerships." Still pushing the strong black independent woman rhetoric but too arrogant to see it. Most of their suffering is their own doing. A matter of fact, the only BM the average black woman loves and respect are gay and effeminate black men. It's's sick to have a man representing BW on a national scale. But it's acceptable because BW see them as allies against masculine black men.

So I was labeled as passive assertive only when necessary. They will call our children lazy the more color too the skin and the more texture too the hair although I'm Cuban Saudi Arabian Spanish Portugal Canary islands my texture of my hair and Carmel skin will label me black not Caribbean. It is just like my Bahama, Haitian, Jamaican friend's are labeled Afrikkan American instead of Caribbean. The struggle is real this is for women and men.

    I'd like it if black women had enough self-confidence real self confidence the type where you give up on God's laws and morality and given to the one of many of Satan's lies strong black woman is a lie strong black woman don't wear weave and cumbrellas /eyelashes makeup etc. A attractive black natural woman that finds her look and confident in it. Also None aggressive non-combative lady like and soft spoken. Would take two tame and keep a black man. Only if our women would understand this men would trust them enough to give them the world. Don't want to help build up black men. They bought into the lie that they want bad boy's and when they decided to believe that they created a bunch of bad boys. Our young men and women the children gangsters the rap culture is feeding us our narrative. We used to have a family structure GOD Father Mother Children. Satan play games with us with our minds and our emotions he turned everything upside down. Along with these satanists. We are living in his lie the world. We need to retreat take back our morality give them back their entertainment and culture. Find shelter with JESUS our families GOD Father Mother Child.

    Who are you to tell women how they must behave? Just leave Black women alone if you hate them, you have many other choices. And leave God and Jesus Christ out of this. Jesus was a revolutionary who chased merchants out of the Temple. And the women who followed him and who were close to him were not submissive soft women, they were considered like marginals in the Hebrew society of that time.

America is soon to be 100% LGBT. Too many men in America are effeminates and girly. Too many men are soft and sugary and ITS A TURN OFF FOR WOMEN.
