As a Black woman, I am deeply uninterested in spending the second half of my life proving how much I can endure. I would like to explore how much joy I can hold.

kids need to hear you defend them btw. when you see someone wronging them, don’t save it for a “grown folk’s conversation,” step in and say “you are not being fair to this child.” that’s critical for their self-esteem. many kids have never been shown that they’re worth defending.

And that you’re not their little friend.
Kids need structure. They need bedtimes, they need to be told no, they need to understand that people have boundaries.

Yeah! We actually have friends outside of work
Millennials don’t want team-building exercises. We want to finish our work and be left alone. 😂

I’m convinced that some of you simply see what you want to see. In what world, is Francesca the problem here? Did we watch the same show?
I love Francesca and Joseph as a couple but I don’t get their attitude towards Chevanique. You got the man, what else do you need? Let the girl be happy in peace. She honestly didn’t do anything to them. #LoveIsBlindUK #LoveIsBlindUKReunion

The world naked bike ride London , where White people literally cycle around fully nude is a thing btw. Just say you’re racist and go
Woman wearing a thong brings her child to the Notting Hill Carnival as scantily clad people covered in oil party around them.

I genuinely think if you can look at people’s culture and find it within yourself to disrespect it, it says more about you than the culture you’re disrespecting. After all we’re all adults and ignorance should not be tolerated. Stop being a shameless monkey
I’m off today, I’ve got time lol. Sick of people thinking they can disrespect Caribbean cultures. I would never even think to say anything disrespectful about other cultures but some of you are too quick to speak about us. Disgusting

September. Pick the books and weights up. Put the buzzballs and M&S biscuits down.

When someone is racıst, I instantly just think: low IQ, limited life experience, not well-travelled, or uneducated.

This. Having your own + having it like mad
The closest form of escape from the patriarchy as a woman is to get rich. You’ll never fully escape but it’s the closest you will get

I think people have to ask if they operate with love first. Because many people do NOT. You’ve got no business trying to date if your default in terms of how you show up for people isn’t rooted in love, care, mutual support and respect. These are politics and skills to build.
does anybody actually want to be in a relationship anymore?

A lot of you men are PREDATORS. You believe you’re not because you’re not dragging women into a bush. You think you’re a good guy. In reality, you plot on women you’ve been watching from a distance. Presenting false version of yourself to get intimacy. Predatory.

Lost my mum 2025, Lost my dad 2026. Most of my friends seeing this post didn't know about it before now. Losing a parent is not birthday party or wedding fam. It changes your brain chemistry in ways you can't imagine. I almost lost my mind. This is stupid man!
As a friend if you lose your parent and you don’t tell me but post about it on socials I’m not gonna come to the funeral 👍🏿 I’m that strict

The one thing I've realised in my little bubble is that the Jamaican diaspora that actually travel home regularly don't do all that xenophobic stuff. It's usually the 1 trip in 20 years lot.
