Sometimes you have to sit back and let people do what they need to do on their own. Alot of people really do need your help and advice while others just want attention and they end up wasting your time. Know when it's time to step back and mind your business.

I have my theory on my mean girls turn into mean women. Let's talk about it shall we?

Did you know that it's a scientific fact that the woman you hang around the most can affect you physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially? Let's have a ponderosa about the benefits of having great women around you and how you reaction around women says more about you than it says about them.

Inspired by the horrible news of Tina Campbell's (Mary Mary) husband Teddy filing for divorce after 25 years a slave, I want to talk about why forgiveness is overrated and closure needs to stop being romanticized. When someone violates me, they become Persona Non Grata, period.

As a survivor and advocate for Domestic Violence Awareness, it's breaking my heart how week after week a black woman is being murdered by her partner. What in the world is going on? Please God.... Week after week there's been a black woman in the news.... I'm beyond wrecked about this. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

Let's discuss the less respect you get the more you forgive. And why closure isn't necessary in most scenarios. Come and talk to me on Wednesdays for the full episode dropping at 4pm est!
