Fear of being vulnerable. We feel like we need to be strong for everyone. Keeping a guard up 24/7 is draining.

Edit: Elle pretty much said it.

Well as black women we're not as emotionally open as other groups. We often don't trust others enough to let our guard down around them, especially black men. That's the whole angry black woman trope. Black women need to be able to be okay with not being okay. We don't really think we can afford to be okay, we're so used to taking care of ourselves.

Ensuring that more black women come into existence via better black men and black women relations.

Cause we can't be like them white women and Asians and be damsels in distress so we have to put up a tough exterior. I'm guilty of this a lot. It's just second nature to black women to be tough cause we carry the burden of everything in our lives. People don't cut us any slack and we don't expect it.

You know I'm not like that at all.

And many of us are raised believing that a black woman MUST be strong if she is to be anything.

Exposing them to successful black women in a wide range of fields, not just entertainment.


Women like Loretta Lynch (Attorney General), Wanda Austin (CEO of Aerospace Corp [and she's from The Bronx ]), Ursula Burn (CEO of Xerox), Isabel dos Santos (wealthiest black woman in the world) are what our young girls should aspire to be, not some chick on the gram with 473k followers, a fat ass, with a bunch of athletes and rappers on her clit.




I have nothing against reality stars, instagram chicks, socialites, rappers, etc, but far too many young

black girls I meet idolize and almost deify those women.

A few months ago I had this beautiful idea for all of us as black women, but I abandoned it. I want to get some fresh motivation for it. What do you think we could do to empower our sisters? What kinds of problems do you think we face?

I think many of our women and girls need to hear and believe that their self worth, self esteem, validation, acceptance, etc is not dependent upon a man. And that they are truly worthy of love, kindness, affection, etc just because of who they are internally and not based upon their vagina.

I support this movement we need our women to be backbones and we also need to learn to be part of the solution of uplifting them rather than propping the stereotype that most of society has against them. A lot of us black men are guilty of this and it makes me sick at times.

Sexual education is important as well. Many women of all ages don't know how their bodies work. Empowering them with that knowledge will lead to better decision making when combined with mental and emotional empowerment.

I'ma write a blog about this within the next week.

One problem I've seen so far is that black women's true worth has been boiled down to physical features plus having p*ssy and not their actual beauty and inner strength.

This pervasive train of thought leads to women being more proud and revered for having a fat ass and full lips rather than being a great person.

Black women are trained to think they have no worth and that the women beside them is an enemy, not a friend.

Plus, the usual stuff that was already discussed

I'm about to be on a big push to buy real estate. I saw something about tax lien propertiesthat I want to do more research on. There are also auctions and foreclosures too. I may even look at getting my license depending on the cost.

My biggest goal is to purchase a nice sized commercial space and lease it to small black businesses for the low.
