Honestly F everyone, I’m tired of ppl being reduced to stats. These are not just 120K 🍇 survivors, they aren’t just 6% of 🇪🇹. These are humans who didn’t deserve any of this.

This your que to go for the jobs you don’t believe you’re qualified for, if you’re qualified they can’t justify paying you less than you’re worth
@Getthebagcoach
There's nothing like the rewarding feeling of giving the people you love a meaningful gift. Regardless of the size or cost of the gift you just know the reaction will be priceless. Then they'll be talking about how it made them feel loved and listened to long after they get it 🥲

Grace is something this society is seriously lacking, it’s frightening to see where things are heading. I won’t quote the man who said this cause he’s no longer relevant but he’s right “the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members”
With all that’s happening in the world, I am touched by the outpour of support for Tigray among advocates 4 Palestine 🫂 TYSM for validating them- they’ve endured unimaginable violence + starvation since Nov ‘20. The genocide denialism 4rm EastAfricans tried to hide this from you
Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Uyghur, Tigray the list that is countless and continuing free them ALL, the millions of innocents that have been suffering, slaughtered and none of our world leaders are stepping up to stop it because most are supporting it, FREE THEM ALL!
@thecindynoir
This hits differently after finding out the producers wanted to portray a black family with no father. But ofcourse it was a determined black woman who made sure a black father WAS represented. Sigh
"I introduced the Black Father to this country."
The late, Mama Esther Rolle always stood on dignity and principles with her roles. The TV show "Good Times" was never the same after John Amos's role as the father, James Evans Sr., was removed.
@sheninigan
Palestinians who make the space and find the capacity to be vocal about the other injustices around the world (ie Sudan, Congo, Tigray, Uyghurs) at this very moment are just, idk my God they are cut from a different cloth. Because compassion fatigue would be more than valid here.
@flygyalkel
why these girls make these videos, edit them and finally decide yes this is getting posted is beyond me 🤯🤯🤯 its clear as day these yt boys hate their gfs
@KiaRichards_
Walking away gracefully is an act of love. Not enough people allow things to just run their course. Giving the other person/yourself back that time is priceless. It may not look that way at first but in the end it all makes sense.

😂 dads are such a peculiar species, the dad who didn’t even know one of his daughters birthdays after just having celebrated it was it for me
@xm_muva
Making her carry the toy she decided she needed to bring outside is one thing, while heavy I can understand cause kids can be so dramatic but filming her without her consent and then plastering it for all to see and be entertained by 💆🏾♀️💆🏾♀️💆🏾♀️💆🏾♀️ sick!
@ulxma
For the umpteenth time, African women esp our elders/mothers are some of our (black women) WORST enemies. They do not want black women esp the wives of their sleazy sons to thrive. You'd think a generation that didn't get to see peaceful marriages would want the opposite for us.
I’m extremely private &usually don’t share personal matters but the way the Tigrayan Diaspora has become my extended family this last year …I felt safe and necessary to share the birth of my 2nd son. If it weren’t for many of you Idk how many of us would’ve made it past 2020.
One of the most sickening patterns across the catastrophes in Palestine, Tigray and Sudan is the weaponization of hunger. Millions suffer a slow, painful death as the IC and UN have been completely useless even complicit.

I have lost sleep, drowned myself in tears, neglected my little family, dissociated 4rm my reality. Tigray consumes us because we are spiritually indebted to the land that made us. My mother told me she didn’t realize she raised diaspora children who loved her home this way. 😢

ask of us is to CARE, and enough so that we put action behind our solidarity. The magnitude of what’s happening in these nations is equally tragic -there’s no need for comparison, they all deserve the world’s attention.
Many Tigrayans have had many important threads about the erasure of the magnitude of the genocide in Tigray. Sudanese are raising awareness about Sudan.
None of them have made it their full time job to deny what's going on in Gaza like this dude has been committed to doing.

Men are intimidated by her, and rightfully so. She expects a quality person to compliment her life, many will understand that and get out of her way instead of rising to the occasion
@C0URTNEYC0
Individualism has really robbed ppl of a full +rich life. I was raised in the hood where everyone looked after each others kids. I felt safe &cared for. It shaped who I am today &how I treat my neighbors everywhere I’ve lived. Currently developing a friendship w/ my new neighbors
@iamyvettehenry
man we’re so broken, we wear emotional and physical labor like a badge of honor. There are literally no trophies for beating ourselves to the ground the way generations before us did

something's gotta give and ASAP, the cost of living is insane even for a two-income household- I can't help but think how people with less are doing 😔
@AngelJonesPhD
Wow it takes so much courage to share this. A few women I know feel like this & it breaks my heart life didn’t pan out the way they’d expected but I’m hopeful that as you all reach the acceptance phase of this grieving process you realize the possibilities ahead of you are vast

i tend do the same if the context isn't appropriate for direct confrontation otherwise you're hearing from me and in real time ....im not one to let things linger, and what cause myself more stress? lol nah
Ethiopian govt and supporters are morally decayed. Survivor testimonies have confirmed the reports of mass looting, raping, shelling, starvation and devastation in Tigray for the last

but they continue to contest it. Imagine telling a survivor they’re lying. 💔

Curiosity. Full of questions and a burning desire to know more about everything. Now it’s the reason for all my progress in life, it’s gotten me so far i fully embrace it in myself but also in my kids

@oranicuhh
i can tell how miserable a person is by how they respond to/around kids. Before becoming a mother I always moved with compassion around children now as a mother I do not tolerate hate towards children its absolutely low and should always get checked 😤
I will live with "what if" for the rest of my life, as a Tigrawayti with an Eritrean father. But atleast I won't have to live with the guilt of denying a genocide.
@keatingssixth
Creep is such a trigger word for some guys I didn’t know this until I directly confronted a classmate in my H.I.T class who was coming on too strong and being creepy. He got so offended he never returned to the gym EVER and told the instructor (male) he was hurt by what I said 💆🏾♀️

@bitterarab
people will investigate Blue + Chrisean's lives in less than 24 hrs and find everything there is to know about them but can't seem to listen to a few representatives of a community being massacred right in front of our eyes - condemning genocide doesn't require extensive research
Here come the diaspora 🇪🇹|ns screaming for mercy on their beloved families in FinFinnee/Addis after a year of “staying out of politics” due to wanting to “remain neutral”. Your outcry is too little too late darlin’
@BrianniT
Hosting is my love language. I had 50+ people over this weekend and they all have a great time 2getber. I make it a priority to bring my family & friends together for every birthday and even my own. I don’t play about the limited time I have here -I want to enjoy my loved ones
@ItsDanaWhite
Yup! Dedicate atleast 1 hour a week to documenting your work or upskilling to keep your resume/portfolio up to date. When I told one of my mentors I felt selfish about taking time away from work do track my work he said “it’s your job to stay marketable” ..🎯
@_slimarella_
once a friend asked me how I could let other women reap all that I’ve sown into a man and I told her I’d prefer that than overstay my welcome. She told me she wouldn’t have it and would rather they both be miserable and I knew atp she’d lost it 🥴
Eritrean Opposition: End Highschool in Sawa
Eritrean govt: “those who avoid Sawa are weak and therefore not Eritrean”
Nobody:
Eritrean govt supporters:”I feel so sad for the ‘child’ soldiers in Tigray”
The audacity
So much death and despair on the timeline, here’s to all the resilient communities around the world resisting the erasure of their identities by celebrating and sharing the beauty of their cultures. 🫶🏾

@DAQUANDSG
the women, I know, were left no choice but to lean into their masculinity because the men in their lives failed @ holding up their end of the bargain. If y’all had an ounce of grace for women you’d be honest about how some ended up there &maybe see that as an opp to relieve them
@idomyownstuntss
As a girl it’s hard to accept that you’re not going to be for everyone so rejection or better yet misalignment feels very much personal. Only when you mature do you realize it’s all necessary to the journey of discovering yourself and meeting your person

Still a damn shame that half my blood was raised to hate the other half of me. What a damn shame. Your entire existence was solely based on the hate for Tegaru. A whole waste y’all. I’m big mad.
@sheededonem
after becoming a mother when I travel with my kids I take hotel sanitation too too seriously. Not this extreme but disposable sheets, checking for bed bugs and wiping down all surfaces and devices is a must and gives me the peace of mind I need to enjoy my stay

You may be a little tired but if you can provide a meaningful and stable life kids do not care your age. Most children in our community get handed off to their elderly grandparents anyway and look how great they tend to turn out 🤷🏾♀️

@KnowForSurePod
how women are the biggest risk takers in love and most times relationships fail bc the man isn’t being as vulnerable and open as her
@haniimhome
too many times I had to tell men about themselves on the bus/train seated playing 🎮 while women (pregnant, elderly, etc) stood up right beside them 🤢 Even when I was🤰🏾a man was FORCED to offer me his dog’s seat by the driver bc my friend wouldn’t shut up about me being pregnant
