who- a very sleepy but motivated BLACK business lady working on a FAB future for me and my family
what- black women are the strongest in the world [sorry white girls- we still love y'all tho]
when- 8:17pm
where- in my bedroom cooling off with my brand new fan 
cuz the air condition does NOT like my room…
cuz the air condition does NOT like my room…ok so i was talking to a friend of mine that i used to work with in my daycare days, topanga [yes that is her real name]. she told me some very UNsurprising information. get this- it has been researched and found that there are more black women that own businesses than any other race or gender. now- a WHITE man did that research so errrrrummmmm.. don’t hate. it is what it is.
and to be honest- there is one simple reason for that…. for a DOUBLE-NEGATIVE [i.e. being black AND female] to end up being a huge POSITIVE [i.e. runnin' shit]. survival!!! hello?
not to say anything about my positive GOOD black men, but for real-for real black men in general haven’t done too much more than go around and spread their ’seed’. for what??? for the single mother to be stuck raising young men and women on one income. i’m sorry but there are too many black men in JAIL for child support [amongst other reasons] for them to be taking care of all the beautiful children that are out here with their dna in them.
but back to my ladies….. i must say how PROUD i am to be amongst the survivors and the soldiers. thank you to all the [GOOD] black moms out there for doing the best you can, to make the most out of your situation. for pulling it together when you have been put into situations to tear you apart. for gathering strength out of all your weaknesses. for being SUPER DUPER. for being dynamic. for being the only thing you can be…. YOU.
even if you aren’t a mother, the fact that you are willing to go from the ‘bottom of the barrel’, to the top of the TOP- is an inspiration that brings tears to my eyes….
you rock black women.
and not only that… you ARE the rock.
