Had a really intense therapy session last night about my childhood trauma. The question my therapist asked at the end was “ Are you ready to reclaim your power back”? Smh this couldn’t have came at a better time . Thank you soooo muchhhhh for all that you do , you’ve definitely played a huge part of my healing journey these last two years❤… ya girl from the southside of Chicago
Yeah, we got our black men promoting this "femininity" foolalah which is just another form of this docile-respectable-meek-never-angry-sweet foolala to keep us from seeing the mistreatment. It hurts worse when it's them, but I get they've been conditioned too. Just sad. Another great topic Aliecia. You are a blessing Sis💚. Yes to kissing the plant 🤣
I have always felt like why play the respectabilty Olympics when we as a collective are seen as dangerous and beneath the majority population. Rage on! 💜💜💜
I embrace being an angry black woman! May have to make some angry black woman tshirts! I have no shame in expressing my anger if needed and don’t care about the label anymore. Were darned if we do and darned if we’re not. So why not! I’m not here to mother this world! Please, I definitely pray in my closet and scream my anger and petition him for vengeance upon my enemies since he said vengeance belongs to him, then here you go Lord. Not all the time but I definitely see his hand involved.
i don’t listen to many ppl and what they have to say but i feel at peace when i watch your videos. you speak from such a place of love and we need more of that in the world
I just wanna thank you for your content I’m from the dmv too but I live in Georgia now just really appreciate everything thing that you are and aren’t REFRESHING doesn’t even begin to explain thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤
I love how you call anger/rage love! And to use our Rage as medicine and how powerful that would be...I agree 1,000 percent agree! I agree with your whole video! Woman are so powerful! They continue to try and keep us muzzled because they know our Rage is our strength, Thr Medicine this earth needs..the true way of living..They flipped it and made our Rage seem like a craziness or weakness! Smh Our Day is here, we are remembering :) Our Rage is because we want LOVE! Period!
I used to hold all these feelings in just so they don’t see me sweat but that’s how they stayed in my energy rent free. Now I don’t hesitate to talk my shit or say “fuck you” when these people are being intentionally disrespectful. I felt like I needed them so I kept my anger to myself in fear of burning bridges that I thought I would need later.
You sound like me. I just said this yesterday. I am tired of hiding or fearing being perceived. I want to operate on high vibration but sometimes it’s FUCK YOU. Straight like that.
@@fazziland3932 nah fr because they don’t feel no ways about acting like they don’t know what they’re doing. Sometimes they need what they dish out whether they get the hint or not. With the way things are, it’s no point in taking the higher road anymore because of how entitled and inconsiderate people became.
Thank you for sharing how those books helped you as the authors expressed their rage. My life has been tough, and I wanted to write a book, but I was uncertain if anyone would want to read a book without the typical happy ending. After hearing about how you were helped through their truth and their rage, I decided, I can write my book. Thank you and blessings, D. Elaine
Thank you for your wisdom and perspective on this much needed topic.❤ For so long, as far back as my earliest memories as a child, I was told that I didn't have a right to be angry, especially if I was being abused and exploited by adults. Deep down I knew this was wrong and ever since the lock downs, i've been gradually reflecting on my life and how supressing this important emotion has negatively impacted my life. Thank you so much for the work you do and for freeing black women in particular of the traps- both internally and externally, we are uniquely subjected to. This video is powerful and so needed. Thank you so very much for the work you do and for making this world a better place by being you!❤ Side note: I love seeing your beautiful plants make an appearance in your video!
I stopped this video at 17 minutes and just cried. For all the rage I haven’t let myself really feel. Going through life accepting this reality, even though deep down I know it’s wrong. Yet the times I’ve pushed for change the resistance pushed me back into my “lane” so to speak. It’s such a harrowing journey 💔
Thank you so much. I truly needed to hear this after the happenings this week. Rage and anger are necessary and can be healing. I think we are taught as Black women to suppress our anger and dissatisfaction. We are always expected to turn the other cheek and be the bigger person, even to our own detriment. Appreciate you, sis 💜
Im playing all of your older videos. i ❤️ your journal prompts. I get to going in mine. Please keep recommending books, i ❤️ reading our culture. Especially from women.
I love that you went to bat for our much needed emotion; anger! Thank you so much for making this video, its so well said. Thank you for having the courage to share your wisdom. Sending unconditional love, infinite compassion, health, safety, peace, angry laughter and patience :)
ive also heard from my therapist that anger is a mask for fear, so we need to figure out what we are afraid of and learn how to overcome our disconnection from knowledge and reconnect or realign
17:30 could you imagine the type of effect that would have spiritually though? I think that would be enough to literally create a SERIOUS shift in one way or another, because Mother Earth would definitely be on board I’m certain. Black women don’t know that but others do 👀
Thiiiiss. 🤎🤎🤎 They do not even view us as being capable of having emotions because they do not view us as human beings. We reclaim our humanity when we reclaim our anger. Thank youuu!! 👏🏽🫂🌻
