Girl Bye! Boy Stop! I Choose Me

 


 
I CHOOSE ME EVEN WHEN HE DOESN’T

 


Pick me! Choose me! Love me!  Remember that scene from
Grey’s Anatomy when Meredith was practically begging Derek to
choose her over his wife? 


 


Although there were some extenuating circumstances that led up to
that scene, I have to say it was undoubtedly the one of most
pitiful things I had ever witnessed in my entire life and I was
disgusted by it. 


 


Which is why I LOVE  Sanaa Lathan for speaking her truth and
standing in it. She made it abundantly clear that she’s not
sitting around waiting to be chosen my some knight in shiny
armor.


 
“We read all these fairy tales, Snow
White, Cinderella, and they’re being chosen by a man.That’s when
you win when you are chosen by a man. That’s not the truth! I’ma
choose me first.”

 


After reading those words on Madame Noire, I got lost in my
thoughts about how excited women get when men FINALLY propose
marriage and how we’re always hoping and praying that he pops the
question…


 


Kinda like we’re waiting to be FULLY chosen, because clearly
dating is NOT enough. So, I thought why not have a conversation
about that to see if I can get some clarity around the
magic of being chosen for marriage.  


 


Why can’t I choose me without constantly being asked…


 


Why are you still single?


When y’all getting married?


When you gon’ put some buns in the that oven?
Black women are taking back their power to choose and
I’m here for ALL OF IT!

 


In this week’s episode we get down to the nitty gritty about how
important it is to exercise your right to choose
and what choosing you looks like.


 


So how ’bout you click play and get this all of this goodness in
