Today, let's delve into a topic that's often misunderstood: the concept of being strong. As we navigate these misconceptions and pushback, let's bear in mind that strength is a multifaceted and deeply personal journey. It's about embracing vulnerabilities, celebrating resilience, and showing the compassion and kindness we all deserve.  In a world where strength is often misunderstood and frequently equated with manliness, it's important to remember that being strong isn't about masking our emotions or pretending that everything is chipper.

  Dear Black People, What I am about to say may sound controversial to some, but this is a subject that I am passionate about.  It behooves me to speak to the plentitude of posts and podcasts going against the strong Black woman and resilient narratives as stigmatizing to the Black woman in particular. I am a Black woman who considers herself strong and resilient. I teach my daughters to be strong and resilient. I teach my clients to be strong and resilient, and I am proud to say it. I will remain strong in the Lord.  I get that they are trying to decolonize certain stereotypical behaviour that continues to permeate society, but what does being strong have to do with decolonization? Our strength is like our blackness. It is what sets us apart. If Black women were not strong, there would be nothing left to decolonize—we would be extinct. My strength is in my weaknesses. So don’t apologize for calling me strong. Change degrading behaviour, and that will be enough for me. Yo...

Title image  Improving your life requires you to change something about yourself—be it your mind, perspectives, attitude, bad habits, or circle. That said, a person unwilling to change won't grow or move forward in life or career. So let me begin by urging you, starting right now to stay open and flexible to change.

At the end of the day, these are the qualities that really matter—how we relate and connect with The Creator and His creations. So, let's look at how we can all vibrate at a higher frequency starting right now and every day hereafter. SPIRITUALLY "Every day, live in a way that honours who you are." —A.D. Posey Meditate/pray daily:  Take a few minutes every day to sit still i...
