I’m literally finishing up an auto-ethnography on the hyper-sexualization of Black women in the workplace because of these exact scenarios! I mean damn, as Black women we’re crucified for everything. Why are our bodies deemed as such distractions? Just let this woman teach.

This woman literally just spoke about my life. As an adult, I chose to have a relationship with my mother, but it was WORK on my behalf to forgive her. Parents, let’s do better so your child doesn’t have to pray to be able to forgive you literally.

@Chef_Beanz The sequel Getting to Happy (novel) goes deeper into the themes you describe. While in #1 3/4 remain single, in #2 3/4 find some semblance of happiness with a partner. I think it did a great job depicting how we have to be whole and know ourselves + set boundaries in dating.
