-
to deal with your white coworkers who are completely oblivious.
I don't want to hear about your ugly dog, when I spent my weekend protesting the police shooting death of
-
an unarmed Black person.
NOT AT ALL!!! I'm not to lose my job for fighting Becky.
So if you have sick or personal days to spare, go ahead and "call
-
out Black," but make sure you say you have a cough, because you know that's actually part of your PTO deal.

Listen...social media and the Internet have been the driving forces behind why the Black Lives Movement has been so powerful. BUT...there are times when you have to take a step
-
back, turn it off and just walk away.
You can only be called the n-word so many times by a cowardly Trump bot on Twitter before you lose your mind.
-
So take a break, live in the moment and an unplug for a bit.
When you're ready to come back and check the racists....we'll be here waiting for you!
-
-
I get that we should always be open to folks who challenge our beliefs, BUT NO ONE HAS TIME for folks who are questioning our humanity on some #AllLivesMatter nonsense.
-
Especially those Sunken Place Black folks who wanna be on that same mess. So go ahead and block folks from Facebook and Twitter. You ain't no one's Snowflake--this is ALL about
-
self-preservation.
Your peace of mind will thank you!
-
-
Listen...ALL Black folks are at risk to oppression!
This is why one of the most radical things we can do as Black people during times like this is to get
-
past our issues with one another and love ourselves unconditionally. EVERY LAST ONE OF US!
All Black Lives Matter and the more of us that come together, the more powerful

Let's keep it 100: This ish is HEAVY and can take a SERIOUS toll on us.
It's OK to cry or feel a way. That doesn't make you less than
-
a man for shedding a tear about how the world treats you.
So don't be afraid of being called a cry baby...let it out. Don't worry about what anyone else
-
thinks about your manhood.
You gotta take care of your emotional health, FIRST AND FOREMOST.
-
-
When times are dark, it's important to find what brings light into your life. And once you find that, hold onto it TIGHT!
That can be your work, your MAMA,
-
your kids, whatever. Just find it and relish in it.
This will make all the difference. TRUST US!
-
-
Be clear: Whether you believe in Jesus, Buddha or Allah, there is something powerful in believing in a higher power. And if you need extra strength, go right ahead and pray.
-
Faith ain't never killed anyone. Ya heard!
-
-
They will try to break our spirit by any means necessary and try to make us forget our worthy we are...but DON'T YOU EVER LOSE SIGHT THAT WE MATTER.
ALWAYS AND
-
FOREVER.
Y'all better #StayWoke!
Not a day goes by, especially on social media and in the news, that it's clear that Black lives are NOT valued. And no lie, unless you are Superman or Superwoman, this takes a toll on most of us.
And that's OK, 'cause we got you!
