What's In Being A Sister

So I've been focusing a lot lately on writing about relationships in my life. I am a daughter of Christ, a daughter of my parents, a sister, a friend, an aunt and finally, a Godmother.

And this week's topic of discussion is about my role of being a sister. So let's talk about what it means to be a sister. Being a sister means being supportive, being present, and most importantly admitting when you're wrong.

Being supportive: It means that when your sibling has a difficult decision to make in their life or they need advice, you give your opinion but also support their ultimate decision. It means that you put their happiness before your own and that you have their back 110% of the time. Being supportive means to not be selfish and to always, always love them no matter what decisions or choices they make.

Being present: It means to be in your siblings lives. Really be there. Birthdays, holidays, activities, accomplishments. As a sister, you should be there for it all. There are no excuses and no maybes. You only get so much time to grow up together and spend time with each other on this earth, you have to make every single moment worthwhile.

Admitting when you're wrong: I'm probably the most stubborn person in my family don't get me wrong, but I also know that a crucial part of being a good sister is admitting your mistakes. When you're arguing with your siblings, it's important not to say anything you're going to regret; even if that means having to listen to you sisters' get mad at you for not asking their permission to wear their clothes or yelling back at your brother when he makes fun of you.

So next time you spend time with your siblings, argue with them, or even talk to them remember that God gave you siblings but He also gave you best friends through those siblings and even though it's one of the hardest jobs, keeping a relationship with them brings you one of the greatest joys in life.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
