I Love Black Men...I hope I'm not alone!



I have been reading a lot of blog posts, reading articles, and listening to hear-say about the Black Man! I'm sad to say that it has been all negative! This completely saddens my heart. I absolutely love black men and I mean this. There is nothing I want more than to be madly in love with an amazing black man...again!


Now don't get me wrong there are some bad seeds in all races but that in no way says that all black men are unworthy! I feel that all of us have been influenced by the negative images media releases! And personally I think that Black women have taken heed to these the most. I have been involved in numerous conversations where fellow friends try to convince me that there are no good black men left in the world. Maybe I'm naive but I refuse to believe that. No person is perfect, which means no man will be. I'm not saying lower your standards but I do feel that you need to have realistic ones. If you want a man that is intelligent, put together, caring compassionate and all that other jazz be prepared for him to be corny..and slightly socially awkward!! I mean he had to sacrifice something to get that degree. If you have expectations like that you'll be happier in the end. That can't be too much of a compromise!




All in all I LOVE Black Men!!! It hurts me that there is such a bad rep for them. And if there is anything I can do to slowly change the minds of some I would be happy. Yes statistics show that there are more black men in jail than in college, yes it may seem that black men are threatened by black women with more success than them, and yes it may seem that black men are more infatuated with white women right now! But I don't think this all true...notice I used the word "seem." I just wish more people (mostly black woman) would take a step back and really give black men a chance. I just hope I'm not the only one that hasn't given up in them!

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Right place...Right Time

God sure does work in mysterious ways! I know people say this all the time and it can get kind of old...until it happens to you! I was supposed to work today but my "big sister" had to have surgery and needed someone to take care of her for most of the day until my was able to take over the reigns. At this point I'm freaking out because I hate calling off work. For most people this isn't that big a deal but to me making a commitment is a big deal...and plus Direct Loans wants their money! BUT I also didn't want my "big sister" sitting alone not able to take care of herself. I decided to call off work and stay with her. This turns out to be a good thing. While I'm with her a woman she attends church with stops by for a visit and is asking me all types of questions. We begin talking about how I just graduated from Michigan and that I was taking time off before applying to grad school. I told her I was working at Trader Joe's.....and then she offers...
