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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
