Ready To Love

People say men like to chase, but I think what men really like is being with someone that they perceive to have a lot of value, and being with somebody who has great boundaries and isn’t going to be easy for other men to catch once they’re in a relationship.
— Tracy McMillan

Telling someone how you feel is not the same as doing the choosing. In fact, it’s kind of the opposite. That’s what makes it so scary to just be open and saying, “I like you,” and stand there and see if they choose you.

Can we make SLAP (Sound Like A Plan) a thing? Is it already a thing?

You don’t even acknowledge how unique you are. What you do is, you get dressed and go in the world and be like everybody else and that ain’t success. Success is supply and demand. Givin’ people somethin’ they ain’t never had before and applyin’ yourself to whatever you do. That’s what makes you unfireable, goddamn it. They can’t do what you do. You get what I’m sayin’?

[…] the internet will trick you into thinking that the work you’re doing isn’t good enough [and] if you’re not careful, you will let the people that know the least about you convince you that you don’t know you.
— Amanda Seales

[…] with privilege often comes the entitlement of not ever having to consider that there is a place that you don’t have access to.
— “Race Realities – Page 59”

Discrimination comes in many forms and indifference is one of them.
— “Race Realities – Page 59”

Black women’s hair is a varied assortment of curls and kinks, sometimes four different types of which are on one head. We have edges, and kitchens, and baby hairs, all of which need to be properly tended to with a skilled hand and a keen eye. Handling our hair is an art.
— “Race Realities – Page 59”

[…] being a white woman in a room of white men is not an example of diversity. […] being a white gay man in a room of white straight men is not an example of diversity. The gag is, so many people are so accustomed to the rigid roles of representation that they’ve seen for so long that simply meeting the terms of inclusion of any “others” feels like an arduous stretch of comfort that looks like diversity. Keep stretching. Change does not stop at simple including other white people who are not straight white men.
— “Race Realities – Page 55”

[…] the Hoe Phase isn’t really about sex. It’s really about the exploration of self without the limitations of being anchored to one person.

Hair, for Black women worldwide, can represent so many things: magic, confidence, style, your mother’s strength, history, identity, and art.
— “Ladies First – Page 25”

[…] although we are each on our own path, we are of a shared community, in that our existence alone is resistance. So when you’re moving and thriving and riding or dying, Respect that, Honor that, Consider that we are an US.
— “Ladies First – Page 25”

It’s no wonder so many men feel disarmed at the revelation of what sexual harassment involves and how present it is in their daily interactions. Once aware, it forces them to have to consider new modes of approach and levels of respect that previously had not been expected of them. Get over it and get into it.
— “Ladies First – Page 17”

Think of yourself as the canvas. Create art with your clothes.
— “Ladies First – Page 11 (Attributed to: Sharufa Rashied-Walker)”

Even though I always know how to identify and articulate my point of view about seemingly everything, when it came to fashion, I could never find my own words. I didn’t have them because in my constant quest to define myself, and my work, and my brand, and yada yada yada, I become more concerned about how my look spoke to others than how it spoke to me.
— “Ladies First – Page 11”
