TeamTypingFast is more than just a hashtag. It’s about putting in the work. Sticking it out. Seeing it through, through the uncertainty, the discomfort, the lack. It’s about figuring it out. Persisting. Taking every step. Writing every word. Revising. Resubmitting.
I just thank God that I came through before this technology. Imagine your teachers sending your grades straight to your momma's phone.
No and thank you.
Him: you’re pretty tall for a female.
Me: a female what?
Him: huh?
Me: the word female is an adjective. It’s used to characterize the capacity to produce eggs or bear offspring. It can refer to any species, so am I tall for a giraffe, a kangaroo?
Him: oh
Me: *blocks user*
You know how y’alls big mommas got a framed picture of Obama in her house. Crissle, Fury, ans Beyoncè finna hang on a wall in every home I’ll ever own till Jesus comes back.
Y’all manifest everything but the apologies you owe. I’m all for enlightenment, healing, and spiritual awakening but nothing says growth like owning the harm we cause on our way to better.
Apologies = Acknowledgement + Contrition+ A commitment to course correction
So .. it's not lost on me that Billie Eilish's green hair, gucci prints, long acrylics and jewelry is deemed creative expression..
but when we do it we are all things unprofessional, inappropriate, etc.
they shot Breonna Taylor in her own home.. sleeping in her own bed...
these white men are walking around capitol and reading nancy pelosi's email... and not one shot has been fired.
There are very subtle but palpable ways that colleagues with privileged identities try to check you or put you in place. Stay steady. Remember you are where you are w/ this specific assignment because God and the ppl that hired you deemed you qualified & fit for the job.
Poor Deyjah.
Imagine your own daddy bragging about checking your hymen all over the internet .. and having to live you life knowing that random strangers know your business.
what if your daddy had no regard for how his behavior effected you?
whew, I'm praying for Deyjah
I turned 39 today🤯🤯🤯! 🗣Thank ya Big God! I spent the day in a luxurious bed watching the Holiday Baking Championship and feeling loved. Thank y’all for loving on me all day. Every message, text, post, call… y’all know how to make an old girl feel special.
My new response to entitled people who question me about being childless and/or my desire to have children:
"Are you sure your parents wanted to have you?!?"
100% effective in getting people out of your business.
Imagine exhaustion being misperceived as anti-relationship. Being comfortable in solitude doesn’t mean you don’t desire relationship or are incapable of connection. Shouldn’t everyone be comfortable alone? If not ,doesn’t that suggest co-dependence vs healthy relationship?

My first thought was to wait and post this when I had a real reason… a special occasion or something to promote… then I thought, it’s me. I’m the real reason. I am the special occasion.

you can't make sense out of nonsense.
especially when you got sense.
Gotta break the habit of trying to figure out the how's and why's of niggas nigging.
Sometimes, when it comes to your productivity, you have got to let the wave hit you when it hits you. I've wasted so much time judging myself for being a night owl and trying to make myself a morning person. I am not.
I just rose to tell y’all that Method Man is on The Shaderoom looking like HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN.
I mean....
Who wouldn’t serve a God like this?!?? *quickens*
Alex Trebek getting choked up at a heartfelt final jeopardy answer. The instant welling up of tears and emotion no viewer expected to have tonight. 🥺 what a moment.

Crissle applying for graduation.
Uncle Jade sweeping the Signal Awards as a 3x Winner for Black Kitchen Series
Dustin is hosting his third season of Bet on Black.
Proud is an understatement.
I think it's worth noting ...
The original song is not about food you eat....it's about all the animals on "shouting Jon's farm" ..Shirley is singing about the Lord's provision...
You niggas sampled it and made it about Thanksgiving...
Let’s normalize not conflating honesty and truth telling with complaining and a lack of gratitude.
Someone acknowledging their fatigue or that something is difficult doesn’t mean that they are lazy, incapable, spoiled, or about to quit.
Today
@GettinGrownPod

Thank y'all for joining Jade and I at the kitchen table every week! We're humbled and grateful for the community and courageous space that we've built together. Love y'all bigly!
"The first time I heard
#DMX
pray was on his debut album, 'It's Dark and Hell Is Hot.' There amidst all of the profanity, misogyny, drugs, violence and crime was an honest sincere plea for God's provision, presence, and direction,"

Michelle curled that wig and set it with flexirods on Election Day...
It has been perched on a mannequin head in her closet .. and waiting for SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
The bounce. The body. The bayang.

Cause are you a real choir baby if you don’t keep a tambourine in your trunk?!

Lord please help me to do the hard work of healing and prioritizing my emotional health. This trauma is beneath your promise for me. I don’t always know how but I’m really trying. Please help me and surround me with the strategy and support that I need.
When you start operating in your purpose there will be ppl who will not like it. That’s ok. Take note of ppl who liked you better when you were unsure/insecure. True friends don’t condemn you when “you’ve changed,” they affirm you for it!
Dear Uterus...
Settle Down. It really doesn't take all of this...every month.
Today can't be about you sis.. I have other things to do.
Please.
Sincerely,
Keia
Kylie Jenner has morphed into a Great Value Beyonce right before our very eyes... and we are expected to not only see it but.... accept it.

I’m in LA. I think I know the answer to this but.. anybody know anybody selling a ticket for the concert tonight???
My reseller reneged… but I still believe God. How many know he’s still able?!
I knew that me, Crissle Jean, Fran, Jade, and Nicki had unlocked optimal Auntie status when we sat around talking about vacuum cleaners and credit card points over Thai and red wine for hours last Saturday night.
Check on your friends who live alone and have been adhering to stay at home orders and CDC guidelines for the full duration of the Panera Bread.
I haven't had any form of physical contact in months and I haven't seen my momma/grandparents in over a year.
This is intense.
Lord,
Expose me to bigger & better. Help me to see opportunity and possibility where I once saw unattainability and futility. Help my perspective to extend beyond my vision, my understanding, and even my imagination. Help me embrace all the ways you will exceed my expectations
Yesterday I woke up exhausted. By 10am I had cursed 5 people out. I wanted to eat a pizza. I didn’t. I had Pinot for lunch. The lady in the plaque psoriasis commercial started crying and I wept like she was a close relative. Then my cycle started and all became clear.
