Divested Black women are falling into a trap. While society wants you to focus on debating about going 50/50 with males or getting into twitter debates about interracial dating, you as a black woman have more important things to worry about. It’s great to see black girls previously robbed of their girlhood reclaiming their natural femininity, however there is more to be concerned about. Divestment is not about males or how cute you can be, but self preservation as a priority. Look past the hyper-sexualizing and demoralizing attempted propaganda. Look past your childhood brainwashing and abuse to internalize the Jezebel and Mammy stereotypes. Stop defending and protecting everyone except for yourself. Stop worshiping males in attempts to gain romantic responses and respect. Pay attention to what really matters. Black Americans will soon have a net worth of $0 as the global economic depression and food shortage gets closer. Our “communities” are the primary target for all things struggle so migrants will be housed where you live, crime will sky rocket, and income/economic opportunities will deplete. Suburban black women are not exempt from this. The vast majority of black girls are not entering recession proof career fields. It’s important that black women are multi tasking everyday life while preparing for the future because 99% are not informed or prepared. It doesn’t have to be alone when there are likeminded black girls and women out there :)

Currently working on a multi-chaptered fic where Okoye goes to therapy and then says fuck it…

Cuz ain’t nobody got the time or energy to be everybody’s superhero.

#BURNTHECAPE

Why can’t Okoye be sad and vulnerable? Why does she always gotta be ‘on’? Why can’t she wallow in her emotions?

I wrote Michonne fic for years, and it’s a trend in fandom, especially for characters who are dark skin Black women. If they’re not always ‘strong’ and got their shit together, fandom doesn’t accept them.

Anyway, my versions of these women are going to be layered. They’re going to cry and be messy and not have their shit together. They’re going to show vulnerability. They’re going to show weakness and need to be held.

This is what it means to be human. They deserve to have their humanity explored. Every piece of content I create for characters like Okoye, Michonne, Sarah Wilson, and other dark skin women is a love letter to them. I love them. I’m going to show them being vulnerable in my fan creations, and then I’m going to give them all the love they deserve.

The great awakening

[ramithetradfem]

For my black ladies and tradfems out there. Don't settle for being anyone's backup. You are worthy of love without struggle, of love without abuse.

Black females, we do not have to struggle in order to be loved, we should not have to be warriors in order to gain appreciation in our own community. Be happy and calm in your femininity. It's okay to ask for help you don't have to be strong all the time just because that's what the narrative says you have to be.

We aren't superwomen, if we are pushed we will fall, if we are cut we will bleed. Strength is not a compliment it is a shackle. Burn the cape and be free. Love those who love you for who you are.

Those who love your natural hair, body, smile. Those who don't see you as purely masculine or strong or warriors who don't need protection. Black women are women and we deserve protection too. Let our girls be little girls full of innocence.

Give our pregnant mothers and newborns a chance. Black women, we are beautiful and we shouldn't have to be warriors in order for people to acknowledge that especially our own people.

It's over for black men the day black women collectively decide to stop fighting for them. But y'all ain't ready for that conversation...

This week we had the honor of chatting with someone who has lived “this” for a very long time… from author to intuitive life coach she has cultivated many gardens. She even helped me identify my (negative) core belief. Big heart and a bigger smile, we are both thankful to call her a friend. You can pick up the most recent book (with a 30day guide to self love) through Amazon. You can hear a great conversation we had on Wednesday through #applepodcast #spotifypodcast #iheartradiopodcast #googlepodcast #nippertown or any place that you #podcast #havearealconvo with us every Wednesday! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #igniteyourfire #selflove #burnthecape #loveyourself #growthmindset #healing #gardenoflife #nurtureyourself #selfcare #empoweringwomen #girlsrule #nosugarcoating #educator #wellness #strongertogether https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9v2sYM_DM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Luckily, all the WIPs that caught my eye were listed one after the other. But I'll ask separately so there's more room for fic for organization.

If I Had A Boat - Okoye-centric, #burnthecape

More space to talk about my fics for organization? A moot after my own heart (you have it already) 🥰🤭🤭

If I Had A Boat || Okoye-centric, #burnthecape

Like it says on the tin, Boat is all about Okoye. More specifically, it is about her choosing her own peace and healing in a way I don't think we'll ever actually get to see on screen. One of Okoye's defining traits, especially in the MCU, is loyalty— almost to a fault. Babygirl has never turned her back on Wakanda.

Objectively, I think its fair to say that everyone in the MCU has been dealt a fair amount of trauma, something that Phase 4 really seems to be leaning into. There are characters, however, who I feel don't get to have their trauma addressed, let alone allow it to affect them. Okoye is one such character in my mind, especially after the events of both Black Panther movies. Like in timeline order we've got: Death of a Monarch (T'Chaka), Presumed Loss of Best Friend & Monarch, A Coup + Marital Betrayal (fucking Wastebasket), Big Ass Alien Battle Pt. 1, The Blip, Holding the Kingdom Down for 5 Fucking Years While the World Falls the Fuck Apart, Big Ass Alien Battle Pt. 2, Death of a Monarch (T'Challa), Ambush on the Bridge, Demotion (where doing her motherfucking job gets thrown back in her fucking face), Death of a Monarch (Ramonda), AND finally, the Battle of the Sea Leopard (where I presume there were a great many losses).

That's like three lifetimes of grief and pain, and what? She's supposed to just Strong Black Woman her way through it?? Bull. Shit.

My mini-rant aside, If I Had A Boat's main purpose is to explore that trauma and grief, and subsequent healing. Okoye is forced to choose between sacrificing her sanity for the sake of Wakanda or distancing herself in order to heal and in doing so, discover a purpose separate from serving the throne.

Spoiler: she chooses Option 2.

So much of her identity has been wrapped up in service, and she deserves a life outside of that. She deserves to heal away from the pressures and duties that comes with being "The Tip of the Spear of Wakanda's Army" or a Midnight Angel. So she goes to therapy, takes a fucking vacation, and learns that she has more life to live and more love to give.
