Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. Many don't want solutions. They only want to talk about problems. If you want solutions, follow @ambassadorprincemichael @pop_darby & @shannon_steel1 Repost @ericaleshai ・・・ #AfroChat 🗣 It’s hella discouraging to see how many of us are in a lifelong marriage with our excuses. We’ve given our excuses so much of our time, love, and energy, and in return they’ve given us nothing. Don’t you think it’s time to divorce our excuses? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Do we have a whole system working against us. Yes. But what we gone do about it? The essence of being Black in America is making something out of nothing, our ancestors were masters at it. We say we’re so great because we are Black (Original) people, but then we say we can’t do what others are doing because THEY won’t allow us to? I thought we were kings and queens, gods even? But we operate within what white supremacy has deemed permissible for us? I don’t know what kind of cloth some of y’all cut from, but I’m a “can’t nobody stop me” “get it out the mud” kind of person. I understand some people want to be lifelong victims, using their powerful Blackness as an excuse for why they won’t even attempt to succeed. The scripture does say “the poor you shall have with you always”. I mean, if that’s how you want to get down, what I look like getting in the way of God’s plan for your life?

Repost from @ericaleshai 💎💎💎💎💎💎 #AfroChat 🗣 (The statistic is over 80% of married Black men are married to Black women). Are Black men perfect? HELL NAH. Are there Black men who slander Black women and leave us unprotected? YES. But those men do NOT make up the majority. As much as we admonish the imbeciles among us, let’s also encourage and lift up the Black men who are doing the best they can to love us, support us, and defend us. Y’all don’t have to get triggered every time I defend Black men, because I promise you, I’ll never stop. I’m just crazy enough to know that we Black women and Black men need each other to survive. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDB8cV5gn8K/?igshid=8eibwu0zmhks

#Repost @ericaleshai • • • • • • #Afrochat 🗣 The real reason why white people are upset is because they historically have had control over our bodies, and now they aim to discreetly control what we think. The desire to control truth, control information, control our conversations, control who we support, control who we cancel is their biggest aim. Well, no one over here is “cancelling” the truth or the ones who tell it. If you’re an “ally” but you can’t own up to your nonsense, go elsewhere, because you’re honestly worse than those who openly oppress us. Shoutout to @nickcannon for telling the truth. #BlackMaletherapist# #LetyourselfbeGreat# #SocialWorker# #blacksocialworkers# #therapyforblackmen #blackcounselorsmatter #blackcouplesgoals  #blackcounselors  #blackcounselors #blackcounselorsrock# #mindfulness# #melantedsocialworkers# #melantedsocialwork# #blacklove# #melanatedpeople# #melantedpeopleunite# #blackpipeology# https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrbR3ZgkjR/?igshid=k5ym3n0kccjn
