My question right now is how did one tweet lead to Nicki Minak being "furious". Nothing was angry about her tweets from my point of view. To me it seems like she just sad how black woman get treated in this industry and she's the only black female rapper so she has to represent for herself and for future female rappers. Nicki works so hard and it seems as though it goes unnoticed. So why has her expressing herself turned into the typical black female rant when that's not even the case. A black woman can't speak her mind about anything without being classified as angry. Everything we do is judged. If we don't smile, we have an attitude. They we walk can mean we are hoes. The way we dress means we have no class. But I'm here to say that is bullshit. I define myself! I'm not ever going to let you even think you can define me. I should be able to speak my mind and not be perceived as being angry and it is so sad that I am. Even this post right now I'm sure you're thinking damn she's upset. But I'm more fed up than upset. When will this judgement and stereotyping stop? When can I just live and be me and not be judged for that? When will society change? Hopefully a change is coming so but for now I'm just another Angry Black Woman.
This is what the summertime is all about playing in the fountains, playing ball, going out with friends, and making memories that'll last you a lifetime. Today I went to see my best friend Ayannah and we went to the park to her brother game. It was so nice outside and just great fun watching the game and enjoying each other's company. I love summertime besides the heat of course lol. But it's great and so many things are happening in the summer. Festivals, great time to go to a museum, or just a walk in the park. Before the summer is up do something fun and exciting and make memories with the people you love. It genuinely makes me happy and so proud of my race. #funfactaboutme I used to HATE being dark skin. I got teased about being dark skin and I use to wish so bad I was light skin but I'm so glad I got to a point where I embrace my beautiful chocolate skin. I thank god for making me black despite the obstacle my people faced inn the past and still currently. Cause at the end of the day we are a strong group of people and will overcome any obstacles that comes our way. Today I had off from work so me and my sister decided to have a sister date! I love doing things like this with my sister and creating memories with one another. For our sister date we decided to go to the movies and go see DOPE, which actually turned out to be really really good! The message behind it was amazing and you would have never thought it would really be one. I'm not going to spoil it for the people who didn't see it but let's just say that representation doesn't mean everything. I am not defined by my circumstance or where I come from. I am defined by how I choose to define myself. So take that and be DOPE ✊🏾. Didn't forget you guys even though I'm late with my post. However, let's stay on track , yesterday was a preparation for this beautiful girl graduation. I washed clothes and did my hair (attempted to do). Today was the day my baby became an adult. I love my sister so much and I could go on and on about her. The main thing I will say about her is that she is strong-willed. Getting through high school was not an easy road for her but she pushed through it and made it happen. I couldn't be more proud of her than I am at this moment. I never understood how people take for granted having siblings because that's something I just could never do. I appreciate having my sisters in my life because they bring me so much joy. No matter what I will have they back and I know that they have mines. Back to reality tomorrow (work work work). But I'm glad I had this day off to celebrate my best friend and sister Jada. I love you so much. I know I'm not alone where I can say that we've all come into some fake people sometimes. Whether it be at school, home, or often than not work. It sucks and especially when you are first starting off at a new job because you want to make friends and not feel like such a loner but you can't really connect with anyone either. Everyone just seems so shady and who really wants to deal with that? My advice is to focus on what you are there for...to get that mula! Don't let making friends at work make you sad or depressed because at the end of the day you'll make them outside of work. Work is definitely not the last place to make friends at. So I suggest to keep your head up and focus on the prize. Because friends don't make your money for you, you have to make it yourself. It's been awhile but I'm back once again. I have not abandoned you guys and hopefully I am still as interesting as before. This new segment I am creating is called Sunday Bumday. Everyone knows that Sunday is the relaxation day. This is the day where we recuperate from a long work week and fun weekend. Also, this is the day to prepare for the upcoming week.
I never really used to appreciate Sunday's as much as I do now. I value my Sunday where I can just reflect on my week and also be a complete bum! I love to relax in my pajamas all day, catch up on some zzz's and watch TV. Isn't that what Sunday's are all about? So this week I realized how much I value my independence right now. Before I was very sad about being single and not going out a lot. I would make excuses for why I couldn't go and then it hit me...why am I living my life like this? I am 21 years old and should be going out with my friends creating memories that will last a lifetime. I do not want to live my life that way at all. So I went out this week and weekend and literally had the time of my life. I went to a concert on Wednesday and went out Friday and Saturday. Let's just say I had a great time with people I genuinely care about. As my husband Drake said, "I live for the nights that I can't remember, With the people that I won't forget" So go out and have fun and be great! Don't let sad times get you down because life is too short for all that. Enjoy your Sunday Bumday! Love, Ms. JasMarie Hello Beautiful People, I'm back to share this wonderful experience I had on Saturday. On Saturday Febuary 7, 2015 I attended a Vision Board & Champgne Party held at Bounc'n & Behaving Hair Studio (Which is the salon I go to get my hair slayyyyyyed). At this event we created vision boards where we addressed some of our biggest fears and obstacles but how no matter how big they are that we will accomplish our goals despite them. This event really inspired me. To be honest at first I was a little nervous. I was the youngest in the room and felt a little overwhelmed by the beautiful women surrounding me. However, it felt so good to be around so many different types of women. I felt empowered and felt a sense of belonging being around them. Hearing their testimonies really reminded me that I have to keep going and pursuing my dreams no matter what happens in my life and that I have to put my trust in God I recommend everyone to either go to one of these events or set up one up with your friends. You'll be amazed to see how beautifully a group of women can come together and make an impact on each other lives. I can't wait to attend another event and share my experience with you guys ☺️. Yes you heard right my birthday just passed. January 1st a star was born lol. I am officially 21 and let me tell you nothing has changed. I had a wonderful birthday and birthday week and I was so blessed to have the people around me who mean the most to be there celebrating these 21 years of life. For the new year I made some promises to myself that I intend to keep. These promises include purchasing the iPhone 6, saving/buying a MacBook, saving money all together, getting my car fixed, and getting my fossil watch fixed. These are goals that I just need and have to meet for myself. Trust me I intend to do so. In other news my spring semester at Temple begins next week. I'm nervous and excited. I definitely want this semester to be better than the last but I'm excited to really get in there and get these grades I know I'm capable of getting. I also want to meet new people and be as social as I possibly can. For this new year I also want to work on being healthy. Not necessarily losing weight but just being healthy in general. I know I've set a lot of goals for myself but there is also no doubt in my mind that I can't reach them. So I'm wishing everyone a very blessed New Year! Good Afternoon Beautiful People,
So today I literally was a bum, well not literally but you get the point. Today is my only day off this week so I knew I needed to take advantage of it. So let me give you a run down of my day... I woke up I ate breakfast (Cereal of course!) I mopped the floors I emptied all the trash and put it on the porch so it can go out tonight Then I got dressed Went to the UPS store to drop off my books from CHEGG. (If you don't use chegg you need to start like seriously) Then I was supposed to go to 69th street to finish XMAS shopping but something was wrong with my account so instead I went to Family Dollar where I bought some body wash and dog food. Then I went home Then I got into bed Watched some YouTube videos and ate some snacks Took a short nap Woke up to put chicken in the oven for dinner tonight (Helping mother out while she's at work) Now I am blogging lol. A very productive day I would say but still a bummy one indeed. Since I work all week I didn't really make plans but I just want to chill and stay warm. Also, I have one last final next Tuesday which I must begin to study for. I'm very nervous about it but I'm just going to study really hard and pray that I pass it. Hope you all had a great day! Be back soon! |
