A woman belongs in the kitchen

This has been a problem for me for a very long time. Studying history through out high school also opened my eyes to appreciate and respect myself as a woman more and to start sharing my opinions and what I stand for. Why is it that men believe that they we as women are supposed to be limited to the kitchen and household activites? Were you blessed with a different brain than we were as it been proven that you are able to make better decisions that us? No, quite the opposite actually. Now men continue to believe that women only cause problems when it is those same women who have keep them grounded in this world. Don't get me wrong we have our bad ways but are men perfect?? You know why this saying continues to be used because women are accepting it and subject themselves to this and don't push themselves to make a better life for themselves. We are viewed as the ones to clean the house,cook the food and provide the man with all the sexual desires he wishes to be met. Men use this saying as a banner to continually have power for us when a woman can make them so weak with just a gentle touch from her hands.

The years have passed but as future generations come up the saying still lives on. It isn't primarily the fathers who are teaching their sons this way of thinking but the mothers who fail to show in their actions that we are far more than what men have placed us as and described us as. I will hold to the hope that many more women will step away from this way of thinking and continue to value themselves and strive to empower themselves

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...
