Amazonian Talk

Ladies, we got rolls, FUPAS and much more. Why are we expected to not have them, especially after childbirth or the massive amount of stress we are under on a daily bases? Let's talk about vanity sizing too.... #stress #anxiety

Should you have more than one checking account and does your spouse need to know about it? #stash #checkingaccounts

We have accepted being the butt of the joke, but why? We are mimicked and constantly impersonated as mothers. We are expected to keep accepting it because it's "funny". Well not anymore...really. #notfunny

Let’s look at what our “better half” really means. It’s not our significant other. It truly is a part of you that YOU haven’t discovered yet. #wisdomapp Stop expecting your mate to be your better half.

Just a fun episode exploring a few expectations of gender roles when it comes to building items.

Friendships are a challenge, especially when you get older. Most times we expect many things out of friends and sometimes we feel what you give is not reciprocated.

Most times we are trying not to rock the boat in many of the relationships we have, but in reality, we are really acquiescing to things.

"Acquiesce" To assent tacitly; submit or comply silently or without protest; agree; consent:

Setting boundaries is healthy and NOT selfish. Something as simple as saying "No" when someone asks you "Can I ask a question?" and then proceeds to ask it anyway before you answer. Take it literally and say "No" if you don't want to answer the question at the moment. IT IS OKAY! Why are we expected to be at everyone's beck and call even when it comes to answering questions?

More times than not, mommas are the disciplinarians and there are some negative emotions that come from being the one who has to be in control of all the No's thus making them look like the "bad guy" the majority of the time.

More times than not, black women are called "Aggressive" when sporting confidence and poise. They are often expected to dim their light and keep their head down. Women in general who are highly educated and then some, get smacked with similar negative labels and expectations.
