WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others!
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

Thanks for tagging me @themamamogul and @ashley.dominique ! #ncblogger #amplifymelanatedvoices

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators

Look at this picture, I remember thinking, of my daughter, who was struggling at her prestigious private school here in Raleigh. A year earlier a white girl told her she didn’t like her because she was black. 💔 My heart broke for Bella. When I asked the school for a meeting with the parents and the school refused...Said they didn’t see the need. // I watched my daughter become a shell of who she was. At the tender age of 8, she experienced her first taste of white privilege. You would never guess looking at us. 🤔 •

When I gave birth to Bella at 20, hell when I got pregnant at 19, my life was no longer my own. I lived and breathed for her, as I do now. I promised to nurture and educate her as best I could and shield her from hurt. // Do you know how difficult it is to have to intentionally hurt your child with the truth about her world? To explain that though your father is white and your bonus parent is white, interracial dating/marriage use to be illegal. To explain a meer 65 years ago a, 14 year old black boy visiting his family in the south, was tortured and killed because he allegedly whistled at a white woman. Or explaining that the very thing your ancestors were enslaved and killed for (being black) you too can be killed for, like George Floyd. I literally watched the light leave her eyes....AGAIN 😭 Swipe left ⬅️ to read her response. •

We as influencers educate ourselves on the IG Algorithm and what will be trending next season, we should be educating ourselves with the same vigor when it comes to systemic racism within America.
Please be aware your silence (ESPECIALLY BRANDS like @liketoknow.it & @notyourmothers) YOUR SILENCE is deafening 🤯 I won’t be silent, I speak and I say:
1️⃣ It hasn’t been hundreds of years, the Civil Rights Movement literally began in 1950’s ☝🏽
2️⃣ We aren’t going backwards, racism has ALWAYS been alive and well
3️⃣ Educate yourself and loved ones, with more than a history book. Talk to black people, who can tell you of their DAILY struggle

And be empathetic to the fact that the black culture is grieving since our ancestors were enslaved...and we are now enslaved...

THIS. It feels like grief.
And sometimes grief feels a lot like fear, as C.S. Lewis puts it. .
••• .
Fear that this world will never change.
Fear that my neighbor won't love me as they love themselves. .
••• .
Grief. It comes up to bite you every now and then.
It catches you and proceeds to sweep over you like rushing waves. .
••• .
This. This feels like grief.
This time that we are living in. .
••• .
It feels like an “even so, come, Lord Jesus” type of season.
Like Jesus come do what I know you can do. .
••• .
To say “peace be still” and calm these raging storms that are arising.
And to calm these tsunami size waves that are rising. .
••• .
Crashing waves of injustice.
Crashing waves of racism.
Crashing waves of calling right - wrong and wrong - right.
Crashing waves of ‘people honoring you with their lips but their hearts are far from you’. .
••• .
It sounds like a call for repentance.
And it looks like a need for revival.
So Lord, may it begin in us. .
••• .
Repentance.
Revival. .
••• .
This. This feels like grief.
But “In grief, FAITH has been the redeeming force that has enabled us to bear the pain and continue to live in victory.” --Zig Ziglar. .
••• .
In our grief, in these trying times, may we cling to our faith.
May we cling to Jesus. .

Today my first born graduated high school 🎉 When she was in my sister’s tummy I would tell her all the time that when she finally broke out, we’d take over the world. The time is now baby girl.
Despite this joyous occasion, I can’t forget that another young woman’s life was cut short and her murderers still haven’t been brought to justice. I can’t imagine #breonnataylor ‘s families pain, but I look at my niece knowing all the opportunities that lie ahead of it her. If her life was senselessly cut short, I’d set the world ablaze. So, in honor of what would have been Breonna’s 27th birthday, let’s keep it burning for her family. Use the link in my bio for ways to help. ❤️ #blacklivesmatter #sayhername #amplifymelanatedvoices #amplifyblackvoices #irunwithmaud #georgefloyd #bethechange #endracismnow #2020graduate #blackgirljoy #proudauntie

This is the joy I’ve had since posting about The Busy Bre last night. I could barely sleep because I was so happy and so full from all of the love and support.

I was very hesitant to announce right now because of everything that’s happening in my community. But for me, and every person who looks like me, now is the time for us to reclaim the time we neglected to put into our gift(s). Now is the time to remind the world how important and powerful we are in every way. Our community and the entire world needs your gifts!

And also, God wants a full return on His investment in you — so, when you’re ready, you’ve got work to do 💛✨

Wishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day filled

Wishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day filled with laughter and love!

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? We’re curious. Is it a big to do? Do you get cards for each other and go all out? Is the expectation more on the man to do all the work? Or, do you feel like the ladies should spoil their man? .
.
Is it dinner and a movie? Date night? Romantic dinner at home? .
.
What about all the single ladies (all the single ladies sing 🎶) Do you go out with your girls? Is a big Galentines celebration what you have planned? Do tell! How do you celebrate?
