Accidental Inheritance

A few years ago, my high school friend Heather forwarded me a video she thought I’d like. Every so often I come across it and I’m as struck and moved by it in the moment as I was the very first time I watched it.

It so perfectly encapsulates the subtle—and not so subtle—messages we not only learn from the women in our lives, but from the men as well.

Messages about what it means to be a woman, a wife, a mother, a female walking through this world.

Messages about what it means to consciously and subconsciously take a back seat to the men in your life.

Messages that tell you that you are somehow less important, less of a priority, less worthy, and have a lesser viewpoint than the men.

Here are a few pearls that particularly struck home with me:

“She shrinks the space around her.”

“She wanes while my father waxes.”

“I wonder if my lineage is one of women shrinking, making space for the entrance of men into their lives, not knowing how to fill it back up once they leave.”

“I have been taught accommodation.”

“You [her brother] have been taught to grow out…I have been taught to grow in.”

“I learned to absorb.”

“Picking up all the habits my mother has unwittingly dropped.”

“How much space she deserves to occupy.”

“I asked five questions in genetics class today and all of them started with the word ‘Sorry.'”

“Inheritance is accidental.”

I’ve spent way too much of my life taking a back seat, while never really realizing until now that I gladly sat there in an effort to be included. I’ve spent much too long accepting coming last while everyone around me comes first, and that I only deserves last or even second best.

I do not—and I’ll be damned if I allow Kennedy to ever feel that way.

I’ll be damned if I allow Kennedy to think she has to apologize before speaking her truth, her opinion, her thoughts, her feelings. I don’t ever want her to think she doesn’t deserve the space she occupies.

I don’t want her to think she has to shrink so someone else can grow.

I don’t want her to wane so someone else can wax.

I want to change the course, the dialogue that I’ve allowed to be so ingrained in me. I want her be strong and confident, while also being loving and compassionate.

And, as the poetry slam shows us, I will teach her more through example than words.

If I tell her that she is worthy, but act in an unworthy or undeserving way myself, which message do you think she’ll actually pick up?

If I tell her that girls, that women, have every right to do, say, be…but don’t do, say, or be myself, which message will actually sink in?

This is exactly why I need to think and act in the way I would want my daughter to emulate in her adult, mature life. I have to be the woman I want her to become…because in all likelihood, that’s what will happen.

Do y’all remember when I shared this image a few weeks ago and how I raved about @northstarcafe? Well, that relationship has ended because they...#directorofoperations and #scottthemanager of the Clintonville location could care less about one with allergies. Long story short, we have been customers since day one and have spent a lot of money in this restaurant. Damon the operations manager just said to me and I’ll quote, “I appreciate you speaking rationally with me this morning.” What the hell? Did he think I would be the #angryblackwoman? I asked them for one thing. Just like most all other restaurants...add an allergy link to your app. No, they won’t do so. They don’t give a damn if we walk away. #ByeBye @phlex06 thanks for reminding me that Black people were already boycotting @northstarcafe. @iamquanhowell add this one to your list. BTW, Amanda the manager at the Westerville location is awesome. The owners need to hire more Amanda’s. Oh, when everything went down on Thursday, I refused to place on social media because I had been a customer since the beginning and knew things would be rectified professionally. I was wrong to think such. After today’s call with Damon, I decided to share my story publicly, especially after his comment of my being rational. 🤷🏽‍♀️ He even acknowledged the amount of money we have spent in the establishment. What I know. In the words of Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” #restaurant #demandrespect #walkawayproudly #cbus #cbusfoodscene #cbuslife #cbusfoodie #foodallergies #byebye #share Note: At least Scott apologized for the way he handled the conversation on Thursday by placing a note in the bag. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSzmwThfqq/?igshid=kj3g6094hh4x

The other day I told my friend that I would never post nude again due to an incident that happened a week ago and he said "I don't believe you because the message behind it is who you are... it's apart of you!" He's right. But it gets so annoying telling people to separate nudity from sex. It gets so annoying hearing people say "well you're really pretty so you should expect it. Take the noise as a compliment!" How or why should I take dick pics, comments like "id fuck you just like that", or unwanted sexual advances as a compliment? Would you tell your daughter or mother the same thing? And miss me with the bullshit about self respect. What happened to the saying "give respect to get respect?" If I'm not disrespecting or hurting you why try so hard to tear me, or anyone else for the matter, down? Clothes or the lack there of don't speak to respect. Clothes or the lack there of don't speak to your level of education. Clothes or the lack there of don't speak to how many people you've had sex with. Clothes or the lack there of has absolutely nothing to do with a man taking advantage of you. Do better about what you do and say to women about how men should treat them • • • #nakedsoulyoga #rwyoga #selflove #demandrespect #thoughtprocesses #reneeisms

People I have helped seemed to either want more, want everything to go exactly their way, or feel like it's my obligation. I have been told I needed to do more it wasn't enough, that they have a life and my time isn't as important, and so on. This has made me scared to give myself, overextend, and help people. I always feel taken advantage of with little to no gratitude expressed. I might be helping the wrong people, but helping people often hurts me. I always go into it with a good heart happy to help and leave feeling less than....
