I am Black. I am a Black millennial. I am a Black millennial woman. I am all of these things living in a country, in a world that strategically takes shot at these elements of who I am figuratively and literally every single day of my life. There are many who see me as a threat and that’s cool of whatever (Cardi B voice)Â but you better believe that I am cut from a cloth that let’s me take each lickin’ and keep on ticking’ boo boo!
I got GOT y’all! A scammer got me. ME! Can you believe it? Me, a woman born and raised in the westside of Chicago was scammed. Dating in today’s world comes with the cheaters, undercover brothers and male thots who believe that they can slither their way through a group of friends being undetected but thats to be expected in 2017.
Earlier in the year, I declared this to be my year of me. A year where promised myself to explore. To grow. Learn. Heal. Remain single and to reach new goals. Typically there is a negative connotation of the idea of someone admitting that they are actively choosing to be selfish but for me it was absolutely imperative that I implemented this into my life.
