WORTHACHARM

This post will be a sequel to the Strong Woman post, but will go more into depth for us as Black women. I will be discussing how we are tired of being disrespected, how we deserve more, how are voices will be heard, and how will defend ourselves and fight back. We will no longer be silenced and ignored. This topic made need a part 2 or a podcast because I won’t be able to speak on everything, so be on the look out just in case.

• We are strong Black women and we are going to continue to embrace our beauty, strength, and work ethic! We will continue to grow and bloom as women.
• We as Black women know our worth and will continue to know our worth.
• We are no longer depending on a man for our happiness, our success, or our joy!
• We will leave when we are not being appreciated or respected.
• We will embrace our unique selves even if it makes others uncomfortable.
• We are going to put ourselves first!
• We will continue to walk like the ground is glowing beneath us.
• We were created to be crowned.
• Our voices will be heard regardless, we will no longer be silenced. We will continue to defend ourselves, we are not backing down. We will continue to fight back for positions, our lives, for equality, and our RESPECT!

We as Black women are tired of being put last in this society and in the Black community. We are tired of being disrespected in our community. We are tired of the division of colorism, body types, and hair textures. We are tired of BLACK MEN not defending us, when WE as BLACK WOMEN are always the first ones to come in their defense. Black men love bashing us or playing the victim role when it comes to the topic of Black women, which really shows who are the weak links. Like where is the support when women come out about their assault stories, like seriously is it that hard to defend your fellow sister. It is not okay and it is tiring. BUT just know we will be okay with or without their support. They are going to be looking real dumb and foolish if we are not there to defend them. Tuh, they better go lean on their white woman. Don’t get me wrong I love our Black men, but whew some of them make you want to knock them out, like literally.

There should NOT be any reason why Breonna Taylor murderers are walking free. WE ARE TIRED! Why is her name being silenced? Why isn’t she getting any justice? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Not only her, but for every woman that has not gotten their justice. Such as Oluwatoyin Salau, Sandra Bland, Janet Wilson, Tanisha Anderson, Dominique Rem’mie Fells, Riah Milton, Dominique Clayton, Michelle Cusseaux, Mya Hall, Rekia Boyd, Yvette Smith, Pamela Turner, Atatiana Jefferson, Miriam Carey, Shantel Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Alberta Spruil, and there are many others. THEY DESERVE THEIR JUSTICE and Damn right they are going to get it. One thing about it, we are going to ride for ours.

As Black women for us to come together, we must stand up for each other and not be against each other. I can’t even lie and say that we always support each other because we definitely don’t. In the Black women community there is so much hate and competition. It needs to stop, like y’all do know we can all win right? We can accomplish so much more if we start supporting one another.

We need to also get rid of the division in the Black women community. It is time to stop being so colorist against each other, like seriously. Because at the end of the day, when we get stop by a cop they are going to see that you are Black. So your “light skin” privilege is not going to help you, so you might as well get that out your head now. We need to get it together. When a dark skin women tells her story, DO NOT shut them out or respond by telling your story. Listen to understand and support them, stop trying to play the victim role all the time because you don’t understand what they have to go through. Now, regardless if you believe it or not, there are light skin females who experience colorism too, so when they are telling their story, DO NOT shut them down and argue with them. WE need to learn how to listen to understand, instead of listening to respond and argue.

Another problem we have is body shaming each other. Stop it! So what if she is on the thick side, if she loves her body, then your opinion is irrelevant. So what if she is too skinny, if she loves her body, once again your opinion is irrelevant. Stop judging, you don’t what anyone is going through and you judging could possibly make it worse. Instead, make a Black woman day by just giving her a compliment. It’s not hard, try it.

The Black women community should be a place where we can come to each other without feeling judge or belittled. Which brings me to my next point, stop belittling each other when speaking on your accomplishments. Like I said before, “Just because you do not agree with someone’s life choices do not give you the right to speak negative about them. We all have different paths and journeys, so don’t judge someone else’s. Don’t allow someone’s opinion of you stop you from being you.” There is room for all of us to win, so let’s come together and support one another and take over this country. We have to set examples for our daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins, mentees, and for anyone woman or little girl who is looking up to you. We have to show them as Black women, we are together!

No matter how strong and independent we think we are, it is okay to ask for help and guidance. We don’t have to be strong all the time. Sometimes we need to take the time out and relax and take care of ourselves. It is hard to ask for help, that is something that some of us struggle with and I wish it wasn’t so hard. But we have to push our pride and fear aside and go for it, it is going to be worth it in the long run. It is okay to open up, this another hard thing to do because it seem like people do not care for real. But we just have to find someone we trust and someone who is willing to listen. If nobody is there, God will always be there. He is always ready to listen and comfort you. As Black women, we have to be more available to help, listen, and comfort each other. We should all have someone to talk to and go to without feeling judged. Reach out to your friends and check on them.

One thing about Black women, we are going to get things done! That’s one thing we never have to worry about, we make IT happen. We are going to come up on top, we are going to get in these offices and take over. We are going to get the positions that we apply for and run it! We are done coming second to White women. We are about conquer it all! Let’s continue to set a great example for generations of Black women.

No matter what, I will NEVER be ashamed for being Black. I love my beautiful black skin. Black women will continue to be the blueprint and continue to work hard for everything we deserve. Many blessing are coming our way! Black Businesses and Companies will flourish, Blogs, Vlogs, Podcasts, and Platforms will grow. MUAs and Hairstylists names will grow. Black women are about to fill all of the Doctors, Nurses, Educators, Counselors/Therapists, Coaches/Mentors/Life-Coaches, Lawyers, Judges, Governors, Officers, Pharmacists, Attorneys, Journalists, Engineers, Psychologists, Public/Global Health, Fashion Designers, Obstetricians, Physical therapists/Trainers, Sports Agents, Sports Administrators and MANY more positions. We are a growing community. I am so proud to be a Black woman. Cheers to our success! 🥂
