We complain waaaay too much. And I’m not saying that shit ain’t fair. I’m not saying privilege doesn’t exist, glass ceilings ain’t right above our heads, or that the pay gap between men and women ain’t real. We can holler and scream all day until we’re blue in the face, but ‘they’ still aren’t going to see your worth.
I had a conversation with someone. She told me she had an issue getting the help she needed from her family. I told her that’s because they don’t see her value. They don’t see her vision, her dream like she had. If they don’t see, then they aren’t going to support. Because they don’t believe. I told her, “You gotta keep it moving and find creative ways to get the help you need. And don’t dwell on the ppl that’s not gonna bring your vision into fruition. Pray about it. And push on. Envision it. Live it. And breathe it in. Energy is real.”
I’m bringing this up because, I was recently contacted by a business for a collaboration. Mind you, when I first started blogging, I’d contacted them several times to write for them. For free! They ignored me every single time. Because they didn’t see my value. But guess what? They are in my inbox now…
So what I’m saying, keep going. Keep at it. Because right now, your knocking at doors, but one day, they might come knocking at yours.

Let’s take a moment to bow our heads in the remembrance of how I just slayed every hoe ever. Every troll. Every fat-shamer. Every Muslim in Detroit and abroad that likes to keep up with my life but talk that stuff behind closed doors. The racists and bigots that say I’m oppressed because I’m visibly Muslim. Oppression? Where? Old co-workers that discouraged me from pursuing my creative endeavors. My ex-boss that told me that I was pretentious and intimidating and tried to get me fired. Yeah, but she got fired instead Look at Gawd. My ex, who was embarrassed of me. Tried to make me seem like I was less than a Muslim and downplay my accomplishments. Hiiiiiii A family member who recently told me that she ain’t feel sorry for me when I tried to express my pain and current mental status.
To every person who said I was extra, too much, too loud, too fat, too black, not black enough, or whatever…I may be broke, borrowing clothes from friends for shoots, bi-polar with several complexes but I’m here. I’m still here. Trying a little bit every day to be better than I was yesterday. And, yeah, sometimes I fail miserably. But, I’m still here. Standing tall. And slaying. *Sips tea* @Remy_me
