For the longest time, it was a simple word to me. . .

What’s the most impactful graphic novel that you have ever read? #Readers #GraphicNovels #Books #Novels 📚

All I can say is that God don’t like ugly. And when people have the wrong motives, they have to pay up. #LongStory

We are definitely living in The Twlight Zone when we are congratulating each other for getting a second or third job.

The Pandemic made us realize a lot about our surroundings and that’s why life seems so weird now. . .

Why do we put so much weight on what others think about our lives? Because the way I see it: Those people will either be dead before you or if they do out live you, their opinion definitely won’t change how you lived your life. So, why not just do what makes you happy and will bring you peace?

Every woman, and I do mean EVERY WOMAN needs to watch this movie. . .

I am not a people-person and I hate when people force me to be one. I have never liked attention, loud noises, or being in big crowds. All of these things give me a tremendous amount of anxiety. I prefer to stay lowkey in every aspect of my life.

If we really are free, equal, and just simply the human race, we shouldn’t know the difference between a white neighborhood and that black people live on a certain side of town. #IJS

Like, seriously!

I know we aren’t supposed to HATE anything, but I HATE grief.

How has attraction changed since you were a kid and what makes a person attractive now?

It’s just the truth. MY Truth.

Shaq made some statements that were pretty eye-opening 👀 I wish more men were this honest about their past experiences with women. ❤️

These are some of the ways that women allow men to use them. 👀

“Peace! Be Still!” (Mark 4:39) This is what I have been having to repeat, over and over and over again, in my mind lately. The enemy wants me to focus on my problems instead of focusing on my promises from my Heavenly Father. And I refuse to believe that God will fail me.

Whew chile! I have no comments. . .

One of the most eye-opening articles I’ve ever read. 😳 #Men #Women #Relationships #Dating

God won’t fail me. So, I’m not worried.

A house is not a home if I have to be always on high alert on how I can pay it vs. how I can enjoy it. And that’s how I truly feel right now.

How is it possible to feel such peace in your life when everything around you is either falling apart or frustrating the hell out of you? Is that a contradiction? I’m literally feeling like I’m on cloud nine while the devil is bringing chaos and confusion to take me off track.

Why even ask someone when they get off if you are going to come two hours late anyways?

I want some pen pals. ✍🏽

Is it just me or is being natural perceived as ugly and being plastic is perceived as beautiful?

Peace is my new normal. #ThankYouGOD 🙏🏾

Ladies, and more specifically, Gentlemen: How do you define YOUR Peace in relationships? ☮️ #Relationships #Friendships #Women #Men #Dating

This isn’t easy to post. But the home my mother left me is at risk. I’m doing everything I can—but I can’t do this part alone. If you can give or share, it would mean the world. Every bit helps. Thank you for seeing me. 🖤 #GodBless 🙏🏾 ❤️ 🏡

🤣

Yeah. . .Every community isn’t YOUR community. Just like every skin folk is NOT your kinfolk.

This is a must-watch show on Tubi. The storytelling is so good. I’m not even into gangster and hustler shows, but I have watched this one at least 5 times since April. #Tubi #TearsOfAHustler #TearsOfAHustler2 #SilkWhite #MustWatch #Show

This writer shares a very shocking and painful experience about men, trust, kidnapping, and abuse. It’s very eye-opening. 👀

Can we have a discussion about Adam and Eve? #Relationship #Dating #Men #Women

Have you noticed any unnecessary problems with dating someone older? #Dating #Relationship #Women #Men #Love ❤️

This piece was written so beautifully. It demonstrates how one's own love language can truly build a connection in a relationship. #Relationships #Dating #Love #LoveLanguage

People, we got to wake up. These award shows, sporting events, and anything else that has been created for our so called entertainment, is the same things that distract us from focusing on the real things that are taking place in the world. That's what they want is for us to not be concerned.

Who went to the theaters and watched Sinners more than once? I went to the theater 3 times and the drive-in one time. So, I watched it a total of 4 times. 👀

When can we watch Sinners on HboMAX?

Snoop really a legend !

I would love for Teyana Taylor to do more serious acting roles. She was great in Tyler Perry's Straw. I actually would like to see her play another cop in a future film. It suits her.

I'm not understanding the backlash about Tyler Perry's Straw. It wasn't supposed to be this happy story. I think it was done brilliantly. And this time around, the trauma was supposed to be in the forefront to prove a point. I don't think he was using black trauma as a scapegoat this time.

I do NOT want that, “you stayed after 3 side babies, 2 diseases, and a partridge and a pear tree” kinda love. Y’all can keep it! 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

Attention ≠ Intention. If he’s not spending time, effort, or money — sis, he’s not serious. Oluchi’s latest essay is a wake-up call for women confusing breadcrumbs with love.

You can always tell when a person is just at work to collect a check because they don’t even do the bare minimum. They just don’t do shit.

I don’t like late people, who are always late, but never can communicate their tardiness. I always have respect for people’s time. I wish people would just give me that respect in return.

Tyler Perry’s Straw is probably his best movie yet. #WellDone #MustWatch #Netflix 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

@carolynchristian.bsky.social Told me to profess it, work toward it and share it openly: I made nearly $1000 in April and over $800 in May from my online writing. So, God is creating a space at the table for me to write as a full-time writer. Thank you, God! 😊 🙏🏾 🥳 ✍🏽 Writing is God’s gift to me.

Some Women Aren’t Toxic — They’re Just Turned Off. #Relationships #Dating #Women #Men

“No one claps when you keep it together, but everyone talks when you are falling apart.”—Unknown

Apparently, a woman choosing herself is a threat to the entire dating economy. I’m not bitter. I just stopped entertaining nonsense. Read the full truth bomb here ⬇️
