I am a Black Woman

But is that a surprise. Look at me, no really look at me. My skin as dark as the midnight hour, my bone structure as chiseled as a glass doll. My attitude as fiery as the kitchen oven at a 400 degree temperature.

I am a Black Woman

And I don’t put up with no mess. You may be able to talk to Suzie any type of way, but when you direct your words to a black woman, you must come correct. Think about your words before they roll off that slithery tongue of yours.

I am a Black Woman

And no I am not to difficult to handle. Black men just don’t understand me, they want something easy, something they don’t have to work for. But me honey…. you must work for my time. No you can not slide in my DMs and expect to just “chill” the next day or ask to be my friend but when I come over the lights are off, your bed is made, and Netflix is activated and going.

I am a Black Woman

And yes I am educated, yes I know the definition of every word that comes out your mouth. Yes I do support all races even though they do not support me.

This article was inspired by my random thoughts of how black women are really unappreciated in this world. I see a lot of black men leaving black women for different races and it's starts to take a toll on black women. It makes them become insecure and unwanted.

Being black and being a woman is not a death sentence, it's not an unwanted label nor an insult. It's a blessing from above and something u should be proud of.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
