The last three years have been great, I have connected with other moms, made new friends, live and socially.
BUT.
There is always a but, how effective is my platform. I am always at a cross roads as to what content to post that will create a discussion. When you look at all the social media influencer pages everything is prim, proper, beautiful, even mystifying with bold pictures.
BUT.
At first, I truly blogged in hopes of gaining followers and being labeled as an “influencer.” Securing the bag and gaining popularity was high on the list.
But now that my kids are growing, I cannot help but notice the world and the times we live in. To be a great parent is to make your mark, set paths and examples and legacy for your kids. The ultimate goal: for them to have and be better than what you are.
We are living in horrible times with that demon and his inept wife as president, yes I said it, I have no sympathy for her either. Women have often been just as treacherous as their racist and bigoted counterparts.
Being a racist is becoming popular. Hatred is becoming popular. Violence is popular. And it could happen to anyone at anytime.
No racism has always been there. We’ve just never seen it’s ugly face displayed as often as we see on TV.
I loathe him and all that his administration and followers stand for.
There is no safety, no peace, no kindness, no compassion, no tolerance and lastly there is no GOD in this administration.
Haven’t you noticed?
I have worked very hard to get to the point where I have a true voice and at this point in my life and my career I have a responsibility to do what’s best for the world and not what is most popular.’ – Beyonce
At this point in my life, at 40, popularity isn’t even a goal for me. Change is. Doing what is mandatory for my kids to thrive in America. I want to use this platform to shed light on the good in the world but also the worst of it.
But first, VOTE them out of office. I’m with Maxine Waters, if you see them in public, let them know how you feel. After all they work for us, our voices.
The youth of today began this millennial movement for change with the March for Our Lives movement to change gun laws.
I am delighted young people are aware and involved. Watch out!
I hope you’re registered because voting, not just in the presidential election, but primary elections will change this presidency. Vote out the senators, state representatives and lawmakers that do not have our best interests at heart. You can register and check to see if your registration is still valid here it only takes 30 seconds.
Do you know her?
Her name is Nia Wilson.
Say it with me.
Say her name.
Nia Wilson.
If you haven’t heard of her please click here to be informed. She was the victim of a horrible white supremaciat stabbing attack that took her life and left her sister critically injured.
I mean what in the fuck is going on.
Being racist is becoming popular. Hatred is popular. Violence is popular. And it could happen to anyone at anytime.
Yes, even you.
We have loads of work to do. It’s cool to post your beauty hacks, dopest outfits and places and people you have seen. Enjoy life, really enjoy it. But can you really be at peace when another’s life doesn’t matter, isn’t fully capable or allowed to enjoy the liberties and freedoms of the world.
But don’t forget life outside those squares is real. I hope you are using your voice for change as well. We can’t be distracted by what only makes us feel good. We have to always be affected by that lump I our throats, the drops of our stomach and tearing eyes to stay connected to each other I this world .
It’s really simple, the solution that is.
LOVE.
I know it cliche but it’s the truth. Because within love you find, peace, hope, faith and ACTION. Love is all of those things but most of all, it’s a verb.
Love is action.
So I will be at rallies this year, protest, signing petitions, making donations and whatever it takes to make change happen.
But until then I will enjoy babies and my family in my lifetime and pray this world will be different for #dembabies
Blessings!!
