Black Girl Happy with Randi B

 


 


When’s the last time you asked yourself the question, “what makes
me happy”?  I’d be willing to bet that the answer to that
question is NEVER.


Okay, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt — maybe you have
asked yourself, but have you really sat in it? 


What does happiness look like for you? Do you even know?


As Black women we are so consumed with making sure that everyone
around us happy, til we forget that we deserve some Black Girl
Happy in our lives too!


Well, Randi Bryant is here to SHUT DOWN THE
NARRATIVE that the happiness of others takes priority
over your happiness


 


Randi shares her journey of how she finally


tapped into the Black Girl Happy that IS Black Girl Magic…


…and how Black Women often find it challenging to create
happiness because nobody has ever taught the Black Woman or given
the Black Woman permission to be happy.


In her words,


We are giving a checklist and we live our lives
going
after accomplishments, but never consider our happiness.


 


College – check.


 


Marriage – check.


 


Member of the bougie club – check.


 


House – check. 


Everybody is always saying, “girl go be successful”. Why is no
one saying, “girl go be happy?”


Randi makes it clear that the Black Woman CANNOT continue to wait
for the world to give her permission to be happy.  She MUST
give herself permission to get on the Black Girl Happy train and
stay there!


After listening to this episode with Randi B, I hope you’ll take
some time to really sit in the question, 


WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY?
