Please Don’t Call My Toddler a “Heartbreaker” — Coffee & Cacti
This is a beautifully written, very direct and eye-opening message from a mother who helps you to realize that your words do have power, that they can plant seeds of growth or destruction, and that we all must be mindful of the roles that we play in the raising up of generations of babies and young children. Everyone should read, digest, and share this message. Thank you to Coffee & Cacti for taking the time to put into words a call to action to stop the sexism that has ran rampant for far too long!

Please Don’t Call My Toddler a “Heartbreaker”
Please don’t call my toddler son a heartbreaker. Or a ladies man. Or a lady killer. Or say “watch out girls!” Or make comments about him flirting with you, when he’s just smiling. Or make any other comments about his future sexuality that is far, far from being developed. I know you mean well. I […]

They Call Her “Mother of The Nation”
Beloved…
“Mother of the Nation”…
Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela Mandela…the western world knows as Ms. Winnie Mandela, has transitioned from her earthly body today at the age of 81.
Ms. Mandela, may you live eternally in peace.
May other women, both young and more seasoned pick up your torch, stand strong and courageously, determined to never give up or give in until freedom and equity is fully and truly achieved in every sense of their meanings.
Ms. Mandela was and is a force to be reckoned with, that propaganda machines tried to destroy, but failed to do.
Women are to be seen and only heard when called on to speak, and only allowed to say what is deemed respectable and respectful by man. And Black women have less rights than that, especially during the apartheid-era in South Africa.
Some of the culprits have even come forward and admitted their roles and explained that they had to do it to keep her from growing in power and influence; they couldn’t afford having this woman convince her then-husband, Nelson Mandela, to do and say the bold things that would’ve elevated all of South Africa to a status equal to those nations that had colonized and controlled it; they couldn’t risk the domino effect it would create throughout the African continent.
So the propaganda machine worked instead on a strategy of divide and conquer.
They divided the Mandela family.
They divided Black leadership.
They divided the ANC.
They divided a nation.
They almost turned the world against Ms. Mandela.
Almost.
Propaganda machines are fueled by and rely upon the ignorant and uninformed.
However, with every conspiracy there are always the enlightened who you will never fall for the trick and never will convert.
Those of us who see clearly the deception, smoke and mirrors, and the games, also saw the plot against Ms. Mandela.
Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela Mandela, we will continue to speak up, speak out, act timely, hold accountable, and demand that all of God’s people live and die with dignity, with the same resources, advantages, and opportunities as those who once and still do oppress them.
You fought an amazing fight Ms. Mandela. You can now rest and watch over your beloved nation. 💗

A Hater You May Have Overlooked
Please watch this video featuring Tramisha Poindexter. Her message is bold, deep, poignant, and personal. She will make you laugh and cry, want to shout and sing, and test out your lyrical skills. She will make you think about life, self, and those around you—near and far.
