What in the world?

There is so much happening in the world right now. And the weight of today’s society can take a toll on your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted. And it’s ok, to be honest with ourselves and others about our feelings. Amid a pandemic, racism, and police savageness lead to the murder of another, unarmed black man.

I have been thinking about what it is like to be a black woman in America. I have to admit it’s not easy because there are biased opinions regarding African American culture. I had to be honest about my views about my culture and face uncomfortable truths in my heart.

If we don’t repent to God and change our hearts towards one another, racism may never end. I find it interesting that God created the human race, but we created racism. We see color instead of seeing humans as unique individuals with an array of cultures such as; food, dance, hair, and numerous music styles.

 Today, I walked to my local park and spent time in nature, and that was what I needed. I needed to ground myself and reconnect with my center. I had to remind myself that I am a black woman, but my identity is grounded and rooted in Christ Jesus. Afterward, I felt refreshed and hopeful about the condition of the world.

What do you need?

I encourage you to take time out for yourself. Take a break from social media and listen to your heart. Repent to God about preconceived notions you may have about another culture. Racism is a complicated topic, no matter what color your skin is. This blog is for women that have survived sexual assault.

Every woman!

Not just African Americans, but Asians, Caucasians, Mexicans, Indians, and every other woman that decides to read this blog. I wanted to make that clear because trauma does not have a color; it is a human experience.

Be Blessed!
