Dude walked into the store and gave me his bag to sit behind the counter. His white friend was like "why don't you just carry it around the store?" And he was like "I'm black. I can't do that." This not one of them sentimental tweets but black people really be feeling like that.
Not living paycheck to paycheck. Not robbing Peter to pay Paul. Being happy with my career and not feeling stuck because I feel that I have nowhere else to go.
Y’all. I love tacos with a passion. Knowing this, my man flew us to Cancun at an all inclusive resort for 5 days, for my birthday, and I am in complete bliss right now.
I'm really proud of myself for getting into nursing school. Only 50 people make it into that program and I worked so hard for my spot. I'm so grateful for this because this is how I proved to myself that I can do anything I want to do. I have no reason for doubts anymore.
I finally worked with a black woman surgeon today. She said “whew chile” when she got tired and I wanted to cry because then I knew she was black black 😭😂
I'm of no use if I have no energy. I'll rather be up and alert in the day time than be out of energy at night struggling to make progress and really not learning anything.
When I reach the point in my life where I'm eating crabs off of a table with newspaper spread around it while drinking wine coolers and watching the kids play >>> ultimate black woman unlocked
Black people really do clown you for doing good stuff. My grandma always clowning me for trying to eat healthy. "Zaria wanna keep her figure chile." I'm tryna avoid high BP and diabetes like you didn't grandma.
The way I was raised you just go to school, get good grades, go to college, then boom you supposed to have a good job and live happily ever after. Nobody ever explained the "how" or the in between because no one ever did it.
I’m really trying to have a career that comes with freedom. I really don’t have time for days off not getting approved or having to plan my life out 3 months in advance because that’s when they making the schedule.
