Letter to my Sista’s

Despite what society has taught you, you are not a ghetto, welfare recipient, dumb, destined to be a teenage mom, uneducated, nappy headed, loud, unworthy, grew up in the hood and will never amount to anything, fatherless black young woman. I am here to tell you different. Why? Because society once made me feel as though maybe I just wasn’t worthy enough to belong. I mean I have always been very outspoken and confident. But sometimes after you hear so much of something you start to believe it is true. I did some soul searching and came to realize my circumstances are not what made me, and how I choose to handle those circumstances made all the difference in my life. I watched my gram be a strong, hard working women most of her life and she did it with grace, class and no complaints. She is my role model and a true Queen in my eyes. I want you all to know you are a naturally beautiful, strong, confident, nurturing, grandiose, compassionate, Nubian Queen! Never let ANYONE, or ANYTHING tell you different. You are what you think, and all you have to do is say and think the positive words you wish everyone else would tell you and tell yourself. I have a young daughter and I am always telling her how wonderful and beautiful and smart she is. I do the same for my son. I know the words I speak to them are powerful and I want them to have a positive image of self. For too long “black” females have been taught how our father created us was not what was considered beautiful. Well correct me if I am wrong but while “black” women strive to look like white women with the weave, and bleaching cream. They are fighting so hard to look like us with tans, butt injections or implants, and wearing weave themselves. Just be comfortable in your skin and be confident in how you were born. You are a unique individual and no one other person in the entire world is like you. You should be jumping for joy and screaming to the mountain tops singing how wonderful you are with just knowing that. So if anyone or anything has ever made you feel unworthy or less than great just know YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL NUBIAN QUEEN!!

If you need someone to talk to, please email me @ savingtheyouth@hotmail.com and I would be happy to speak with you!!

P.S. The next time you have doubts about the power you possess look up these Beautiful, Intelligent, Powerful Nubian Queens.  Maya Angelou,  Dr.Francis Wessling, Afeni Shakur, Kathleen Cleaver, Shahrazad Ali, Angela Davis, Sojourner Truth, Jill Scott, India Arie, Angie Stone, McLyte (Lana Moorer), Yo Yo (Yolanda Whittaker), Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Harriett Tubman, Gabrielle Douglas,Shirley Chisholm, Madame C.J. Walker,Mae Jemison, Just to name a FEW!!

Youth Tip #3 Bullying

no bullying

 

Bullying seems like it has become an epidemic these days. I graduated high school in 2001. Not that long ago and from then until now it seems like this Bullying issue has become a trend amongst today’s youth. Back when I was in school we had “riding” sessions where we would talk mess about some one and crack jokes, but it never went to the extreme that we talked about a person so bad they wanted to kill themselves. There was nobody in my elementary, middle or high school who killed themselves over bullying. I even remember often times taken up for people who wouldn’t defend them selves. To me it doesn’t make you tough when you pick on someone scared of you, or somebody who will not fight back. To me this makes you a COWARD that you choose to prey on someone who is vulnerable. I talk to my kids all the time about Bullying just because it has become so relevant with today’s youth. They know not to let ANYONE touch them or continue to pick on them. They know they can come to me at any time, and let me know what’s going on. They also know if they go to their teacher and the situation is not handled when I come to the school there will be a problem. I know a lot of time teens are scared to go to their parents or feel as though they may not understand their situation. So they often try to deal with the situation them selves. Sometimes they feel like dealing with the situation is killing them selves. I want ALL of you youngsta’s out there to know YOUR LIFE IS VALUABLE, God gave you life and placed you on this Earth for a purpose. NEVER let somebody’s WORDS or ACTIONS dictate your life for you. People only have the power that you give them. I tell you one thing about a Bully, Stand up to them just one time and I guarantee they will leave you alone. Bullies are truly weak, insecure individuals who pick on people to make themselves feel better. If you are having an issue with a Bully and need someone to talk to. Please email me @savingtheyouth@hotmail.com. I would be happy to speak with you, encourage you and give you advise on how to handle the situation. Just know I am here!! I love you and God loves you!!

Black History Moment (Black Panthers 1969)

My Hero’s, members of the Black Panther Party on February 29, 1969, led by Lt. Elmer Dixon gathered on the steps of the Capitol in Olympia to protest a bill that would make it a crime to exhibit firearms “in a manner manifesting an intent to intimidate others.” In contrast to the California demonstration, they did not enter the building and they were not arrested.
