Latter Thoughts on Kanye West and Kyrie Irving

 Happy November readers! The year is coming to an end and it’s literally almost 2023! Where did the time go? I’ve been super busy in my personal life, but I’m not giving up on my blog space so here I am. I’m not going to defend nor deflect on the actions of Kanye or Kyrie, nor am I going to criticize the repercussions they’ve faced. I am going to say that I want for the black community to gain a focus on the progression of our community. Working on our education and our unity amongst our family and neighbors. Working on wholesome music that’s uplifting our youth and adults, muscling our minds to do better and think stronger. All the toxicity in our communities is hurting our people and it’s spreading to multiple areas of our lives. Having broken mentalities breaks our children down and stops us from giving them a bright future. Broken mentalities also make us think it’s okay to not stand with one another and lift each other up. We’re not going to be able to do better and get to new levels collectively if we never start in our own community and culture a love for one another that can’t be shaken by NBA, Rap, Hollywood, Literary deals, etc. We have to stop tearing up our community and being okay with music or movies or celebrities that push toxicity and trash back on our easily influenced people and kids. If we want to see a change, it starts with us not hyper focusing and finding faults in other groups of people or their beliefs. No everything in our world is not ethically correct or morally correct but if we want to continue to see a healthy linage and a community that prospers and grows then we have to clean our own front porch off first then we stand together and educate others on our culture, our beliefs, and give other minorities a chance to stand with us. But if we keep being divisive and tearing down our own community it will be hard for people to understand and see what’s at the heart of being black.

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Wavelengths

I've been contemplating on my mental state of mind and the impact others can have on me. As an HSP (highly sensitive person) I tend to soak up so many emotions. This has led me to actively seek out more info on energy absorption. This is a belief that people are able to give off good and bad energy. Depending on their energy, it can have a good impact or negative impact on you. If someone has a bad aura it's destined to ward off on others. Not only that, but a person with a bad aura is destined to cause bad things to happen. Consider people like this "agents of chaos." They disrupt situations and are problematic. They have bad attitudes and personalities. A lot of them also feel empowered when they can bring others down. It's important to be cautious about the company you keep around you. Superficial people will seek friendships based on what they can gain from being around you. They don't care about you on a genuine level, it's a friendship that benefits
