PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE

Posted on August 12, 2019

GIVE ME MY PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE.

Today’s post is nothing short of a PSA because I’m tired y’all. Tired of going to the grocery store and the lady behind me is all in my backside. So very tired of being at the mall (a place with so much room) and practically going toe to toe with a total stranger insistent on walking so close to me. I’m frankly exhausted by a portion of society’s lack of understanding when it comes to personal space. So much so that I feel like we need to talk babes. There are a few things we have got to iron out when it comes to personal space. Continue Reading

WCW: YARA SHAHIDI

On Sunday I woke up to the news that HRH Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex had been invited to be the guest editor for the September Issue of British Vogue. In this issue, it was her desire to highlight the power of the collective. As women from all walks of life were recognized for their efforts to initiate as representatives of “Forces for Change” in their everyday lives. So when I went through the list of 15 and began to familiarize myself with those I didn’t know — I was pleased, but not shocked to see that Yara Shahidi had made the list. I mean she’s been my WCW for ages, it feels like. So much so that, I might have been more than a little salty if she hadn’t made the list. Continue Reading

BOUNDARIES YOUR MAN’S EX WOMAN SHOULD RESPECT

Posted on July 26, 2019

I can’t believe I have to write a post about this, about boundaries. But y’all we are in an era where the exes are just not getting it and because of that the demise of relationships are happening everywhere. I can’t even begin to explain to you all how many times I have seen an ex step out of her lane. Thinking that it’s appropriate to do certain things or behave a certain way when communicating with her former man, who is now your (my) man. If it’s not a text message saying “wyd” past 7pm, it’s a “Good morning” text before the sun rises. Neither of them being okay to send to a man who is with someone else. Don’t they get it? Their former man is taken. He is with someone else now and y’all are happy. Thriving in a way that doesn’t welcome distraction, disrespect, or other people. Exes included.

So without further ado, lets jump straight into things shall we? Today’s post is for the boundaries your man’s ex woman should respect. Hell needs to respect if we’re getting literal.  Continue Reading

ONCE A CHEATER, ALWAYS A CHEATER

Now I write this knowing full well there will be three types of people reading this. So I figured I’d just get a few disclaimers out of the way now. The first? The person who agrees with me wholeheartedly and can’t wait to read more about why cheaters gone always cheat (southern drawl for more emphasis). Because you sis, have never been confused on the matter. The second? The person who happens to be with a cheater reformed and will read today’s post with fear in their heart (or maybe even anger?). Worried that what I have to say may hold some weight. Or feel accusatory in some way. The third? Now if you fall in the third category, you’re in the clear. You’ve never been cheated on and are reading today’s post for the sake of insight only.  Continue Reading
