My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries.
To all the girls with big dreams, who have been told that they are ‘too preoccupied with success’, or that they are ‘too selfish’ or ‘too ambitious’ - do not listen to the people who speak those words. If you love something that much, and will pursue it to the ends of the earth, do not give it up for anyone. Hold it close to your heart and understand that you are not obligated to dim your sparkle for anybody. In your life, there will always be people who tell you that you are too much or too little. They will say a woman is too assertive, or too reserved. They will say she feels too little or too much, that ambition is selfish. They may even be hurt or offended that you do not think the same. Yet at the end of the day, know in your heart that you are the only one who will ever know whether you are truly enough and that is what’s important. Go out there and smash the glass ceiling to pieces.
friendly reminder that if i have ever befriended you and have not spoken to you in a while it’s nothing you’ve done wrong it’s just because i’m a piece of shit at keeping in contact with people and i still love you okay good
as a dark skinned woman
i have never felt less than because of my skin
never been told i’m pretty for a dark skinned chieck
never told someone didn’t like me because i was dark skinned
however
my experience doesn’t negate the terrible things other women have had to...
This is the story of my childhood, right here.
this Ankara suit tho!! ❥ 😍😍😍
I am shocked that they let this guy get away. Where is the justice in the world. A man let free while a harmless 17 yr old african american boy is lost to the world. Thanks, my night has just been fucked up. RIP Trayvon MArtin, you will be missed. <3
Lol, the change!
17. African- Togolese and Ghanian Descent. Tired but appreciating the little things in life.
