You know, I’ve noticed that ppl have an issue with me because I’m quiet and reserved. Like, it shocks them that as a black woman I’m not “loud” or “aggressive”. I would always have ppl tell me I should talk more. That they need me to be more “sassy” at work because they know I have it in me to be like that. I’m an introverted person. I don’t speak unless I care to or when it is necessary. I’m tired of the stereotypes that I get. Not every black girl is the same. We come in many shades, shapes, personalities, hair textures, etc. My meekness shouldn’t weird you out because you didn’t expect a black girl to be more quiet and shy. There are a lot of woman like me.
Now if you do try me…then you WILL see that “sassy black woman” come out lol.
Last night, I was watching a video of T.D. Jakes speaking with Steven Furtick at Elevation church. Guys, it wrecked me! He spoke about crushing and how God applies pressure in our lives to eventually give us power.
You’re probably wondering, “What the heck is she talking about?” and I totally understand because in this season in my life, I feel a lot of pressure and there are moments where I ask…
Now I know you are probably wondering, “Where the heck has she been?”
But you most likely don’t care.
Well in the past year and some months, I have been caught up in my life. I should let you know that I am married now. Hence, the name change. I finally graduated college. I am way more involved in church then I thought I would be.
