I see you. I SEE you. I have a question for you though, sincerely? Do you SEE ME too? If not, I understand. However, we have to change that. Black women and girls, it is time, more than ever to stand with your sister. Biological or not, we need to come together as ONE!

Mammy, Sapphire, Jezebel, Welfare Queen, Hoe, THOT, B****, Superwoman A.K.A strong Black women? What do all these stereotypes and false narratives have in common? Definitions I don't claim and weren't written by me! Since others want to depict our livelihoods and write our stories, let's make sure the facts are correct, shall we? Let's discuss the truth about the origins of how these degrading themes have impacted our lives from 1619 to 2020. This is my story. This is our story. I define ME. Period.

Who are you? If someone was to ask you to describe yourself, what would you say? This episode is an introduction to YOU. How do YOU see YOU? How do YOU navigate the world? As Black women and girls, we are held captive to what our society, communities and relationships say about how WE should move. Now is the time more than ever to tune all of that out. TAP INTO U before 2020 is OVER! Are you ready to be about that action? Let's talk about it!

2020 is almost over, and it's time to focus on what is important - YOU.
