How can WOMEN be inferior, the weaker vessel, ineffective when we CONCEIVE, CARRY, NURTURE, BIRTH, RAISE, CREATE MAGIC the very boys who have convinced us of it?
Kinda like BLACK inferiority.
A WOMAN KNOWS, STAY OUT OF HER WOMB!
Hotep, Patriarchy, Male Dominance, Leadership, The Bible…..
blah blah blah blah blah
As the mom of daughters, I would prefer that THEY have say so over THEIR bodies and minds.
We, WOC have seemingly NEVER had say so or power over OUR BODIES especially if we grew up in a
Now, IN OUR WOMB is where those insane ideas are conceived, sacred and privately nurtured but ONLY A WOMAN KNOWS.
Now, IN THE WOMB is where WE women get OUR bright idea but ONLY A WOMAN KNOWS.
Now, IN THE WOMB is where life is birthed either prematurely, still born, on time or late but BIRTH IS ESSENTIAL and ONLY A WOMAN KNOWS.
AS I MINISTER TO ME, I WANT TO MINISTER TO YOU!
YEP, I NEEDED THIS TODAY.
THE HOLIDAYS IS A SORRY TIME FOR ME BECAUSE I KNOW MY STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES (A GREAT DEAL OF THEM) WILL GO TO HOMES WHERE MOMS ARE DOING IT ALL ALONE AND SOMEHOW THEY WILL NOT WAKE UP TO THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND I AM ALSO FACED WITH THE ROLE I PLAY IN MAKING SURE THEY CAN AND CAN’T AND THAT IS HEAVINESS FOR THE FAMILY AND ME (THE EMPATH).
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE US WOMEN, MOMS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE ARE THE BACKBONE, WE ARE THE VOICE, AND WE ARE THE STRENGTH OUR CHILDREN NEED (EVEN IF DAD IS THERE).
IT IS US WOMEN WHO CARRIED AND RAISED THEM.
I WANT YOU TO PAT YOURSELVES ON THE BACK AND SING YOUR OWN PRAISES.
I WANT YOU TO DO AN ACTIVITY WITH ME FOR THIS CHRISTMAS….
WRITE 50 THINGS ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, HOW THEY MAKE YOU FEEL, AND HOW YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET A CHANCE TO SAY HOW YOU HONESTLY FEEL BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE LIFE HAPPEN AND BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, THEY DON’T GET TO SEE THE TEARS, ANXIETY, STRESS AND HEAVINESS AND THEN AT TIMES, THEY DO AND DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.
AT TIMES THOSE SMALL THINGS GET AWAY FROM US AND THAT IS ALL THEY WANT US TO ACKNOWLEDGE, THOSE SMALL STRIDES, THEY WANT US TO NOTICE THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT THEY DO TO ASSURE US THAT THEY ARE LISTENING TO US.
YEAH, I HAVE SAID YES TO THIS THANG AND IT IS EYE OPENING FOR ME, THIS YEAR.
WE ARE THE MOST POWERFUL VERB THERE IS AROUND THESE PARTS, BLACK MOMS; ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US WHO ARE FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED.
I WAS TAUGHT THAT A VERB IS WHAT YOU DO.
AS MOMS AND BLACK WOMEN WE DO FROM THE MOMENT WE GET UP TO THE MOMENT WE GO TO BED AS WELL AS IN OUR SLEEP.
ALLOW ME TO POSE SOME POIGNANT QUESTIONS YOUR WAY…..
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAD NOTHING TO OFFER?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE DIDN’T HAVE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE WERE INFERIOR?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT COLLEGE WAS THE WAY TO GO?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO COUNSELING EXPERIENCE?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO MATHEMATICAL EXPERIENCE?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE WERE VOID OF ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE WERE NOT INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE AND MAGICAL?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE ARE NOT EFFECTIVE?

HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO COMMUNICATION AND LITERACYS SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO SELF MANAGEMENT SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT UNLESS WE ARE LICENSED, CERTIFIED, ENDORSED AND CREDENTIALED THAT SOMEHOW WE ARE UN, DIS, MAL, AND IL?
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE US THAT WE HAVE NO TEAM BUILDING SKILLS?
HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO CONVINCE THE VERY WOMEN WHO WERE THE ORIGINAL BIRTHERS, HEALERS, PROTECTORS, SERVANTS, SKILLED HANDS OF THESE MANY ILLS, LIES AND WRONGS AS WE CONCEIVED, NURTURED, BIRTHED, RAISED AND SENT ON THEIR WAY THE VERY PEOPLE WHO SAID THESE THINGS?
HOW DO YOU DO ALL THAT YOU DO AND SOCIETY SAY WE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH, WE ARE UNGRATEFUL, WE AREN’T WORKING HARD ENOUGH AND THEY HOLD THE CARROT IN FRONT OF US AND PULL IT FROM US THE CLOSER WE GET AND HOLD THE HOSE SO TIGHT WE CAN NEVER MAINTAIN OR BREATH?
WE ARE MAGICAL
WE ARE BRILLIANT
WE ARE BOLD
WE ARE RESOURCEFUL
WE ARE CANDID
WE ARE BLUNT
WE ARE STRONG
WE ARE WEAK
WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!
WE ARE WAITING ON US!
MOMS conceive
MOMS nurture
MOMS birth
MOMS raise
MOMS expose
MOMS speak about (negatively or positively)
MOMS encourage maltreatment
MOMS encourage malpractice
MOMS refuse to redirect inappropriate behavior
MOMS allow inappropriate speech
MOMS vote against our interest
MOMS uphold White Supremacy
MOMS are the gatekeeper to privilege
MOMS don’t care about what happens to BLACK MOMS BECAUSE BLACK MOMS DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO BLACK MOMS.
WOMEN RAISE WHAT WE ARE SEEING, FACING AND FEELING.
To my WW, you conceived, nurtured, carried, birthed, raised these vicious, angry, evil, entitled, disrespectful and rude children, especially the males that you fear.
From a distance: we see how your TODDLERS are allowed to SPEAK to you, DEMAND from you and SCREAM at you and that was never the case in our culture because of the honor we have and had for our seniors.
From a distance: we saw the loving look you had as well as the helpless look as your offspring had TANTRUMS in public.
From a distance: we felt your frustration, anxiety, hurt and discombobulation.
From a distance: we wondered why you allowed them to speak to you any kind of way, treat you any kind of way and do anything they please and now I get, your children that you fear so HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FREE, THEY HAVE ALWAYS EXECUTED THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD LIBERTY TO DO, SAY, BE, ACT, TAKE, TERRORIZE AND BE HELL RAISERS.
Who are we to blame for these racist, old, WHITE, hateful and divisive men? The WW?
No, the FOUNDING FATHERS.
WHITE FOLKS invent, create, make up, compose, author, being to fruition, conceive, coin, design, discover, forge, formulate, originate LAWS that others are to adhere to, obey and must think is GODS word and plan ITSELF while they don’t have to. Can we FIX THIS?
WOMEN!
WOMEN BIRTH
WOMEN NURTURE
WOMEN PROTECT
WOMEN SERVE
WOMEN COMMAND THE ATTENTION
WOMEN PERFECT MULTITASKING
WOMEN ARE MULTIFACETED
WOMEN DICTATE
WOMEN ADMINISTRATOR
WOMEN ARE THE TRUE DECISION MAKERS
WOMEN ARE THE BRAINS
WOMEN ARE THE STRENGTH
WOMEN ARE THE BACKBONE
WOMEN ARE THE GLUE
WOMEN ARE INVENTIVE
WOMEN ARE CREATIVE
WE ARE BECAUSE WITHOUT US, THERE IS NO LIFE!
TOGETHER WE MUST UNITE AND TAKE THE REINS FROM OLD, ANTIQUATED WHITE MEN WHO THINK THEY KNOW OUR BODIES BETTER THAN WE DO.
AS A MOM WITH DAUGHTERS, TODAY THEY ARE VIBRANT, HEALTHY, IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS *selective* ATHLETIC BUT TOMORROW THO?
SOMEONE ELSE’S CHILD RIGHT NOW IS NOT IN THEIR SHOES, ALLOW US WOMEN TO HAVE EMPATHY, UNITE, SPEAK ON OUR OWN ISSUES TOGETHER BECAUSE WE ARE ONE NATURAL DISASTER OR ACCIDENT AWAY…..
I never understood how the heck we WOMEN are inferior or beneath men when we conceive, nurture, literally GET BENT A OUT OF SHAPE, birth and raise them.
Talking about some real psychosis crap.
Women conceive
Women nurture
Women protect
Women birth
To only be told by men that she’s the weaker vessel, she is inferior, she is to not be bold, outspoken and must lead from behind the scenes.
Allow THAT to sink in.
AS long as WOC were nursing YOUR WHITE young
AS long as WOC were seeing after YOUR WHITE young
AS long as WOC were stripped of their rights
AS long as WOC were seen as unattractive
AS long as WOC were spineless
AS long as WOC were seen as weak
AS long as WOC were seen as helpless
AS long as WOC were seen as hopeless
AS long as WOC took the beat down
AS long as WOC had no/low self esteem
AS long as WOC were unable to vote
AS long as WOC were stripped of their dignity, individuality and somebodiness
AS long as WOC didn’t see their strength
AS long as WOC were catering to YOUR WHITE needs
AS long as WOC were silent
AS long as WOC were compliant
AS long as WOC were not defiant
AS long as WOC were cleaning
AS long as WOC were cooking
AS long as WOC were creating home remedies
AS long as WOC were reproducing
AS long as WOC knew their place
AS long as WOC spoke less and listened and obeyed more
AS long as WOC kept views to themselves
AS long as WOC were unable to read and write
AS long as WOC were not opinionated
AS LONG AS WOC WERE MAMMY, WE WERE IN OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE AND IDEAL
This quote by Judge Taney in the Dred Scott case (BLACKS HAVE NO RIGHTS IN WHICH A WHITE MAN WAS BOUND TO RESPECT) is it NOT relevant TODAY?
WOC are gracing platforms in unprecedented numbers unlike before:
TO BE SEEN
TO BE HEARD
TO BE FELT
TO BE
TO EXHIBIT
TO EXUDE
TO REPRESENT
TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE
TO MAKE DEMANDS
AND yet, they are attempted to be silenced about OUR, ALL OF OUR VOICES AND ISSUES.
WHEN WOC COME UP, WE PULL OTHERS UP
WHEN WOC SUCCEED, WE ALL SUCCEED
WHEN WOC BIRTH, WE EXTRACT BABIES FROM OTHERS
JUST CHECK OUT HISTORY.
Hurt know Hurt!
45 Parents gave him up because he was “too much” for them.
45 mom couldn’t deal with him.
45 was out of control for his parents so what did they do?
They sent him to BOARDING SCHOOL.
45 had rules and schedules he HAD to follow.
45 had someone barking orders and telling him what to do of which THAT was never done.
The moment 45 got power, he decided to make ANYONE and EVERYONE HURT.
Well, now he is here.
He took babies, toddlers, and children from their parents, allowed them to be sexually, emotionally, and psychologically abused, drugged JUST LIKE HE WAS and AMERICA HAS YET TO UNANIMOUSLY RISE AGAINST THIS TYRANT. THIS IS WHAT I CALL #TraumaticPsychologicalInjury.
Mass shooters start out in these WW homes that allow them to call them ANYTHING, treat them ANY KIND OF WAY and then hide behind developmental stages to make excuses for their LACK OF CONTROL over these rude and obnoxious behavior exhibiting kids or like 45 mom, SHE SHIPPED HIM OFF to let someone else deal with it……ijs
45 parents WILLINGLY gave him up
45 parents DID NOT want to raise him
45 parents could NOT control him
45 parents were focused less on him and more on business
45 parents is the root of this contaminated fruit we see, feel and hear
45 made a vow that if he EVER had power, he would make life a living hell for children and their families and ESPECIALLY if the MOM UNCONDITIONALLY loved them, HAPPILY doted over them, wanted them and SINCERELY cared for them…
This is why he is so brutal to those children he is caging, treating worse than animals, stripping them of their dignity, humanity, self worth and livelihood but mainly MOMS AND DADS.
45 absolutely HATE that #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, #IlhanOmar, #RashidaTlaib, and #AyannaPressley are UNafraid of him because as INTUITIVE AS WE ARE, minority women can smell BS 7 countries away.
45 is that abuser who FINALLY have someone he feel is weak and he can abuse, misuse and control their minds.
The one woman who should have been JUST THIS STRONG when it came to him as a child could NOT handle him, she gave him up, she sent him away and she wanted nothing to do with him, HIS MOM.
45 has great disdain for STRONG, VOCAL AND INTENTIONAL WOMEN……
It is 20,000% times worse when they are minority women.
He has mommy issues as President Obama said.
Mental Illness is so real.
Mental illness looks like many things and takes on many forms.
MENtal Illness
How something does this crippling mind eroding word starts with MEN?
MEN are behind healthcare or sickcare laws
MEN legislate malpractice/maltreatment for women
MEN are said to be the head of everything
MEN are the ones who have control in the family
MEN are the final decision makers in all things
MEN are appointed as leaders
MEN are said to be bread winners for the family
MEN are coined as pioneers
MEN are positioned to be front-runners
MEN are stolen innovators
MEN are chosen bosses
MEN are hand picked captains
MEN are chiefs
MEN are commanding
MEN are demanding
MEN are said to be strong
MEN are conductors
MEN are directors
MEN are rulers
MEN are coaches
MEN are power brokers (let that sink in women)
MEN are moderators
MEN are supervisors
Men are superior
NOW WE SEE MEN ARE TYRANTS…….
How is ANY of these things possible if it were NOT for WOMEN who:
Conceived
Nurtured
Raised
Protected
Birthed
Educated
Exposed
Released
And poured into these male infants, litle lad, boy children to become the grown men and in turn convince WOMEN of these lies and miseducation of her weakness and inferiority?
Make it make sense….
