Teaching Women To Fish: Self Empowerment

No Comments

It has been a busy 2012 so far this year. It has been challenging and uplifting all at the same time. Life isn’t meant to be perfect. It is just meant to be lived. I am starting to learn my calling for my life…I think it is about uplifting and helping people learn that happiness is in our own hands.

I would like to share with you an article I wrote for Slantress Magazine, a Black women empowerment magazine. I wrote this article: https://www.slantress.com/blog/?p=23 from the soul. My soul is telling me it is time I learn to fish. I want to learn to fish for prosperity so that I can teach other people to do the same.

Deborah Billips , Founder of Slantress Publication, is teach me how to fish. She is very positive and kind.  An article I wrote will be featured in an upcoming issue of Slantress Magazine this spring. Please subscribe to Slantress magazine here  and visit the website at www.slantress.com!

Give a woman a fish and you feed her for a day. Teach a woman to fish and you feed her for a lifetime.

Tomorrow, Wednesday March 21st 2012 is the “A Million Hoodies March For Trayvon Martin” 6pm – 9pm at Union Square in New York City. If you’re in the area, wear your hoodie.

If you’re not in the area, wear your hoodie anyways and sign the petition  in support of an America that will not stand against racial profiling.

There will be plenty of upcoming events in support of Trayvon Martin’s family and the fight against racial profiling in the next few weeks.

Stay informed about these upcoming events through the A Million Hoodies For Trayvon Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MillionHoodies

Our generation has the power to establish a world where skin tone is not the cause of death. Actions speak louder than words. Now is the time to stand for something, for not only this generation but the generations to come.

God bless.

Florida: A Land Of No Justice

6 Comments

George Zimmerman needs to go to jail for killing a black teen getting skittles & tea from 7-eleven because he looked suspicious. It’s not self-defense because the child wasn’t even armed. In most states you go to jail for using a weapon on an unarmed person but a racist man known for thinking blacks are suspicious is still not in jail. If I ever become a mom, I’m not moving my children to any racist state like Florida. America hasn’t changed.

Black Community Empowerment: Black Men Lead Our Community

740 Comments

I was talking to some Black women a day ago. I asked what do you think could make Black communities thrive. There was a majority consensus that we need Black men to lead our communities. We need men that help raise our children not just donate sperm or be emotionally distant fathers & spouses( I know it might have been done to us but you should always thrive to do better for your offspring). Yes, the community is bruised but not broken. Change for the better is possible. Greatness starts with courage and persistence. Although Black women can be excellent parents, we can’t do it alone anymore…not if we want to revive these communities. & above all Black women need to respect themselves. A man will walk all over you and disrespect you when you settle for less than love and respect. You do not have to be rude and abuse a man to get love and respect. You just have to appreciate him and also have the courage to respectfully tell him to step up. This is the wake up call and I’m not sugar coating. And trust me… Black men we do want to see , you,the Black men as the real, positive leaders of the Black community. We won’t know greatness until we know your worth & our worth. Stop putting each other down and start working together. Slavery and slave mentality is over.
