THE AFRICAN WOMAN IS IN A CLASS OF HER OWN.
HER BEAUTY,INTELLIGENCE,SEXUALITY AND CHARM ARE NOT DEFINED BY SOCIETY OR WHAT THE MAINSTREAM INDUSTRY DEFINES THEM TO BE,FOR SHE DEFINES THEM BY HERSELF, FOR HERSELF.___ @JAMES.AFU

#throwbackthursday
The mainstream industry and media has been trying over the years to box in the AFRICAN WOMAN into a frame that she is bigger than and brighter than.
The mainstream media platforms introduced BLEACHING CREAMS and skin whitening products to the BLACK WOMAN,so that she can hate her skin.
The mainstream industry introduced wigs and hair extensions to the black WOMAN so that she can hate her NATURAL hair and CROWN.
The mainstream industry/media introduced surgery to try and disfigure the BEAUTIFUL shapes and curves of the AFRICAN WOMAN,all in the name of "body enhancement".
Through it all,still the BLACK WOMAN is triumphantly still standing tall,BEAUTIFUL,elegant and flawless.
THE BLACK WOMAN IS A GODDESS CROWNED BY THE UNIVERSE.

33 life lessons
My 33rd birthday is around the corner and since y’all loooooved my “32 life lessons” last year, I’ve compiled a list of 33 new life lessons for you all.
Over the next three days I’ll share them with you. I know this year has been challenging for everyone, but I hope that this can be something light and meaningful as 2020 comes to end.
1. People aren’t that complicated. Believe them when they show you who they are
.
2. Consistency is key in everything but especially in relationships. Ain’t nobody gonna build a future with a flip flopper
.
3. Being healthy comes in every size.
.
4. Recovery looks different for everyone. Don’t judge someone else’s progress.
.
5. Sometimes people suck, and that’s OK. Tell them to go suck someplace else
.
6. Standing up for yourself doesn’t always mean that you should scream your lungs of when someone mistreats you. Sometimes walking away from such a situation is much better for your mental health
.
7. Watching crap TV with the people you love is truly a sincere form of joy
.
8. Save your money to invest in something you believe in. Like yourself
.
9. Also, know when to splurge on something you’ve always wanted even though it’s ridiculously expensive. Since you saved your money that should be fine
.
10. Take the love that is being shared. If someone tells you they love you, believe them and let that feeling stick to your skin. Even and especially in times when you don’t love yourself
.
11. Applaud others when they reach their goals, even if you don’t understand the goal. You have no idea what it took for them to get there.
