Protect Black Females

Protect Black Females

Fight for us like you fight for your favorite team

Get mad about what happens to us like you do about a scuff on your new Jordans

When you fight for us, you reap the rewards

You know we always have your back, even after you shoot us, in the case of Meghan Thee Stallion

Even after you cheat on us 

After you beat us

We’re there consoling you through the pain caused by those that hurt you, whether they look like us or not

Don’t defend us

Protect us

Police show up after crimes are committed

We don’t need that

We need advocates

We need our males so down for us that people know not to fuck with us

They need to be so fearful of hurting a Black female in words, thought or deed that even if they dream about it, they wake up and apologize

We were all bred to be Uncle Ruckus

It’s time for us to wake up and be Huey Freeman

Speak up for Black females

You don’t have to agree with us or marry us

Just speak up

Stop standing by silently as we’re attacked like your male ancestors had to do as a survival tactic

You’re beyond that

There is no danger to your life for caping for us as hard as you do for your favorite player

There is LIFE in that

When you build up the Black female, you see all the things you’ve fought for and against come to you

You see relationships with your kids growing stronger

You see school systems growing stronger

You see jobs and opportunities coming your way

Doors start to open up

When your main mission in life is building up the Black female, you have no qualms slanging knowledge on corners as you convince the boys on the block to stop slanging rocks

We know there was a deliberate attack to get Black men out of homes

We know that the attack levied on Black men had an even greater impact on Black females

We were left vulnerable and unprotected

We had to do unmentionable things to protect our homes and our minds, even as our bodies were violated

You had to, too. 

Think about the connection that a mother has with her children

Don’t you think that after 10 months of Oneness, she knows that you had to do some unforgivable shit to survive?

She felt your pain and carried it as her own, on top of her own, alongside that of her family and community

We are tired

We are tired

We are tired and we need you to spread the word that we are off limits

We are no longer the last item to check off on the list of equality

We fought and continue to fight for everybody’s equality

We are the fucking epitome of “All lives matter”!

We know that all lives matter because we fought for all lives to be able to vote and watched and cheered as that honor put Black men in office

We fought for women’s rights and silently witnessed white women march to the front of the line

We fought for LBGTQ+ rights and watched gay men benefit most

We fight for Black Lives Matter and have to defend ourselves when we highlight that Black life includes more than those born with penises

We say your name, we say her name, we never forget, we always support and console and nurture and give and give and give

And

We

 Are 

Fucking 

Tired

You want your freedom?

You want to be treated like a king?

You want to be heard?

Well, if any of that is to come in any of our lifetime, now is the time for you to start protecting Black females

Early Morning AHA! Moments

No matter when I go to sleep, I’m waking up bright and early (while the sun and family are still sleeping) thinking about life. I used to get peeved, eventually it turned to acceptance, lead to understanding I’m up for a reason and now I know I’m about to have some Aha! moments. 

Lately they’ve been about how to make my life “easier”. Maybe that’s what they’ve always been, but instead of listening I was distracting myself reading books or social media. 

In Human Design, which I’m delving deeper into if you haven’t picked up yet, my Head Center is usually complete Open with no Defined Gates/Activations. This Center is the one that determines how much one is “in their head”, looking for answers that often don’t even matter to them. 

Since mine is Open, I camp out in that bitch. Like, set up a tent, have snacks and drinks (cold), take naps and all. If you ask a question, it doesn’t even have to be to me, I’m going to stop what I’m doing and try to figure it out. Don’t let it be a “Life” question either!

As of June 2019, the start of a new personal Cycle, that Center has been fully Defined. I didn’t realize until talking to Halavao that I’d started letting other people figure out the answers to their questions, especially at work and on social media. (They have google just like me, so I let their fingers do the walking!) My “whatever, that ain’t got nothing to do with me” gene kicked in and I like it. 

Hearing other people’s take, when I ask for it (Manifestors initiate), is really great to help see those things I know, but don’t realize. These early morning Aha! sessions are the same. Thoughts, ideas and concepts that play in the back of my mind come out and reveal their truth. 

I’m preparing to be a Human Design Consultant (and apparently “Get Your Business Together” one, too) so that I can help others uncover/rediscover their Superpowers. 

Before I forget, this morning’s Aha! moment was that...shit I forgot, but a new Aha! is that I need to prioritize cementing my Ahas! before I scroll through social media and type long ass posts 😂

INFORMING!!! It came back to me just as I was about to give it up and turn it loose (there’s a message in that!). 

To keep peace, Manifestors inform those around them about what they need and are going to do in advance so that we prevent the disruption of others trying to initiate things with us and/or taking us out of our Flow. Not only is informing part of my Life’s Strategy, it’s also my Life’s Path (Incarnation Cross). This probably explains why my posts are sometimes long and “informative” or why I’ve been called “bossy” 😂

Initiating Manifestor

In Human Design, I’m what’s called a Manifestor, with the role to Initiate. I haven’t followed that Strategy much or consistently. 

We ordered food (2 plates of fried cauliflower and mac & cheese) from a vegan pop up shop for pickup Saturday at 430. We get there and they’re not there. They said they expected me at 4. So we waited to get the food. Since we’re a no contact family, I had them put it in the trunk. 

If you know me, you know I love food, especially spicy wings (vegan now, of course). So my mouth was watering in anticipation of getting into those wings. We get home and there one dinner and not the flavor we ordered. 

I communicate with the guy and he asks if  I want to pick up the plate...which is a 40 minute roundtrip drive. He was supposed to drop it off and it never happened. 

On Monday, he did an Instagram contest for free wings and I entered because I knew I’d “win” since he “owed” me anyway. I win and we set up pickup for same place today. 

I get there and guess who’s a no-show? The man asked if we can drive to his house because his wife has the car. Now first of all, my Husband already didn’t want to deal with them again. I didn’t even tell him about the contest so now I have to ask him to drive “around the corner” to pickup this contest/paid for food? Secondly, why he ain’t just tell us to meet him at the house in the first place? 

I’m kind and sweet, so we picked up the food. On the way home, I messaged (initiated) the man to offer my consulting services to help them get their ordering process more organized. He accepted. 

This is a Black-owned husband and wife operation. I want to see them succeed. I know how difficult having a vegan restaurant, let alone trying to build a customer base, all while Black can be. 

So many of our business close or are “cancelled” because of poor service. I don’t think it’s intentional, just a lack of understanding, organization and training. All things at which I happen to be innately gifted. 

I ain’t NEVER consulted for a business before, but guess who has an LLC and just Monday morning wrote her “Services” section listing “Sounding board when you’re feeling stuck, confused or unheard” as an option (just before being anointed by a hummingbird)? 

I can imagine this family, with at least one young child, sometimes feels stuck as they try to manage their day to day lives and a side hustle. 

Their food is AMAZING and they deserve a chance to succeed. Who better to help than an intuitive Virgo who is loved by babies, old people and animals?

Positive Thinking Preparedness

For the past couple days, I’ve been singing “I know that I can make it. I know that I can stand. No matter what may come my way, my life is in good hands.” (I change lyrics to remove the religious aspect.)

This morning, I woke up and saw that a last minute meeting was scheduled for work. Sometimes I get nervous since I’m new to the position and not yet confident in my knowledge. After accepting the meeting invitation, I said to myself, “I am prepared for whatever comes and able to adapt as needed.”

It turns out that I was more than prepared for the mystery meeting. Once it ended, the trainer for our department wanted to solicit my help for some of her other studies. She said that she loved working with me and I made things move along quickly. 

I’m fully convinced that my positive thinking (and singing) got me ready for a future I couldn’t predict. I encourage you, which is the reason for the post, to start/keep encouraging yourself so that you’re prepared for whatever opportunities come your way. 

Life as we knew it is gone and the new world being created has a prime spot just for your unique Self. Nurture and feed your Self because we need you! ❤️

The Great Equalizer

Coronavirus has been a great equalizer and truth serum. We once thought that it only affected old people, then white people. It’s clearly a “hide ya kids, hide ya wife” type situation. HOWEVER, in hiding, have faith and be wise and you’ll become The Great Equalizer. 

Fear weakens the immune system, making it hard to fight off any infections, from a cold to “Da Rona.” 

Do what you have to do to stay centered and balanced. Meditate, yoga, watch non-fear-inducing TV, sleep, shower/bathe, phone a friend, sit on your front steps, etc. 

There really is nothing to fear but fear itself. Our minds do a fantastic job of over-inflating our present state with what could’ve, would’ve or should’ve been. 

If you feel panic rising, stop. Take a deep breath, noticing the air as it feels your belly. Keep inhaling, following the breath as it travels from your belly to your chest and into your head. 

Hold your breath at the top. Hear the popping in the cavities of your head. Maybe you start to feel tingles as a sign that your body is being oxygenated and beginning to alkalinize. 

When your mind starts trying to convince you that you can’t hold your breath any longer, prove that you are in control of your mind by holding for another beat. 

Exhale slowly and with control, building up your self-control and awareness. 

When you think all the air is out, hold your breath again. Your mind is going to start chattering. 

And lying. You are NOT going to die. You CAN hold for another beat. You CAN aid in the healing of your own body and mind. 

Now push out a little more air, then inhale with control. Your mind will want to gulp air. However, remember that YOUR awareness knows the weakness of the mind. 

Control your inhale. Relish the feeling of air coolly entering your body and replenishing the much needed, often under appreciated oxygen that flows through each of your organs, regenerating and revitalizing you atom by atom. 

Repeat this exercise as often as you think of it and watch your mind, body and Spirit come alive the way Nature intended, rather than the ways of man have created.
