I was having a conversation with several clients and the
topic of reality TV came up. As we were talking I had this revelation: That
many of the women portrayed in these shows are miserable and unhappy. Think
about it, in the most popular ones that cast black women, really look at these
women. Nice clothes, nice cars, nice houses, makeup on point (well for some)
and that’s it. What else do they have?
Many of the women on the reality TV shows mask their pain
behind expensive material goods and pounds of make up. So I say to my young
impressionable girls/ladies that watch these shows and are enamored with what
they see, “Is that really the life you want for yourself?” “Do you really just
want a bunch of overpriced goods to flaunt while feeling empty on the inside?”
I say to you young ladies (girls) that a person with a lot
of money that has no one that truly loves them or cares about them in their
life is miserable. Money can by temporary happiness. But it can’t buy love. I’m
saddened by how so many of our young black girls aspire for nothing more than a
sexy body, lots of money and expensive clothes, shoes, and cars.
Ladies you are beautiful as you were created. Stop killing
yourselves to be something/ someone you are not. The women you see on TV cry
every night before bed, drink to mask the hurt or do some type of drugs to numb
the pain. Hence the reason for a full face of makeup every time you see them on
camera or off. They are hiding the face of insecurities, pain, mistrust and
lack of love and true friendships.
Love who you are naturally. Think for a moment what do you
truly have a passion for doing. Something that is so near and dear to you that
you could do it for free. That’s your passion, work towards obtaining that and
being the best you, you can be. Look in the mirror and say: “I am powerful, I
am smart, I am beautiful and I am a queen. I will accomplish any and every
thing I put my mind to. Today I will be a better woman than I was yesterday
because I love me and he (most high) made me Phenomenal!”
Stop settling for less than. Stop being a clone. Stand up
and Stand out. Be different, be unique, be YOU! Love the skin you are in. Be
proud of yourself. Your past is just that YOUR past. It does not have to be an
excuse for your future. We all have made mistakes and made bad decisions. From
this day forward make better decisions, make choices to become the best woman
you can be. When you know better you do better. Trust me no one has a squeaky
clean background. Just make steps in the right direction, do something you love
and have a passion for and be great at it.
I felt like someone needed to hear this and read some
positive words of inspiration and encouragement. I pray that these words falls
upon the ears and eyes of a young girl/lady that is doubt of herself, a young
lady who feels unworthy or undeserving. You are confident, you are strong, you
deserve the best and nothing less. Smile because you love yourself enough. If
not I have love for you and I believe in you. I know I don’t know you and you
don’t know me, but I know your story and it does get better.
Peace and blessings my beautiful black queens!
