Other groups seem to be so disturbed when Black Women get what we deserve in a positive way. Your voice is important, and you’re creating a positive space Black women deserve and have been missing and it bothers them. The ones the message is directed feel your intent whole heartedly ❤️.
As a 66-year old Black female, raised in rural Louisiana by sharecropping (cotton) parents and grandparents, I love, love your channel. I was fortunate enough to know six generations of my family. My mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother were domestic workers and farmers. My mother (born in 1937) said that she had picked enough cotton and cleaned enough white people’s homes that I would not have too. After 400-years of servitude in this country, it is time for Black women to get a break. Your channel is providing much needed conversation and service to Black women. I applaud you, Ms Alecia. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💕💕💕
How BEAUTIFUL! What a blessing to have known these amazing women in your family. I am envious of you and would LOVE to hear your stories. And your mom saying that to you... That literally brings tears to my eyes. And ALL OF THIS!!! I completely agree with you!!! Thank you so much for sharing such beauty with us. Much love and joy to you 💛☺️
The world (including our own men) are mad that we have the audacity to find self-worth when they've decided that we don't. They are mad that we don't require their permission to just be and we are not looking for them to cosign on our value. On top of the fact that we've decided to leave them be if they can't appreciate us respectively. We aren't even demanding (yet) that they recognize our value, yet they still refuse to acknowledge how much strength it takes to rise above despite our own brothers deciding we are not worthy of honoring. We have NO SECURITY in this world...or very little. I appreciate you creating a space for us to breathe. A space to re-energize so that we are refueled for the fight we have to endure aka live in this world. I need a nap.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I am in total agreement that we are in need of, and deserving of, our own space to just breathe. This channel is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale world.
How rude and ignorant for someone to say something about a woman with her hair shaved is like a man. You are beautiful and many women that shave their hair still look gorgeous and feminine. I appreciate you talking about the inclusion of women of color.
Thank you so much! That's so sweet! And it is my absolute pleasure! 😘💛 And you are absolutely right! I see some GORGEOUS women with short hair. They are GOALS. These men wouldn't know beauty if it hit them in thr face and they don't deserve these women. Their loss.
I want u to know that this hits home! I remember in 2018 when I had Cancer. I decided to cut my hair off because I was so tired of it coming out after the chemo. My brother could not understand! All of my immediate family members had long hair and he wasn't accustomed to this, 'my belief'! I honestly believe he was ashamed to be seen with me- Oh the mindset of our Black men!! This indoctrination needs to LEAVE!! Anyway, I recognized it for what it was and Moved Forward, thankful to God for sparring my life! I actually got to really enjoy and love my hair, it was curly! People would stop and stare at me and finally ask was this my Real Hair!! Frankly, I got more looks with it like this, ha! Now I've decided to let it grow out and see where it takes me. 👍♥️
People are saying “you shouldn’t have to explain yourself” but no…. I think this explanation was necessary because people genuinely don’t understand why black women speak to black women. If they didn’t get it, now they do. You really broke it down
You've explained yourself, which, you didn't have to do. But don't do it again; those who don't get it will never get it until something changes in their experience which makes their lives a living mirror of an aspect of your experience. Spend your time as you are doing, learning yourself, and sharing that with others. I appreciate your honesty, your truth, and the courage you had to change your life. You have something terribly important to give, or you couldn't have, wouldn't have, made the changes you have, because change is extremely difficult, and to do it means digging down into your soul to see what put you on a road that ended in despair in the first place. Even when you know the historical context in which you developed your perspective, in the end, you have to acknowledge that your pain came from a part of you that you were not even vaguely aware of, and that the impact of all the racism, classism, etc. hid you from yourself. In the end, you wind up not blaming the world even though it plays a strong part in your pain. And what you find is strength, true morality, and you create a standard for yourself, and because you created it, no one can take it from you. You realize that you can do any and everything you need to do for yourself, and that you don't need a savior, and that you have only been waiting on yourself. That's what you've done Alecia, and I'm so glad for you. I'm also grateful because it's nice to know, in my old age, that youngster's are discovering this path at a much younger age than I did. I wish you the best.
I agree with all of this except the part where u mention not needing a Savior. You probably didn't mean it that way so I'll say, We All Need and to recognize Jesus.
I greatly appreciate your channel. So many people have this almost hatred for black woman. Black women are blamed for their own misery but no one wants to talk about the intersectionality of Black and woman.
Girl never forget you're doing meaningful work. Don't let sadists steal your peace and joy. Reserve your joy, vibrance and essence for the people that matter and support your evolution. You don't owe no one an explanation. Mute these trolls because chances are, they're getting HIGH off your response/reaction. Take very good care of yourself. 🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. And your reminder is so important to keep in the forefront of my mind. You are absolutely right. A part of me made this video so when folks ask me, I send them straight to this video. Lol.
Even in her own space, a black woman have to justify herself. Smh🤦🏽♀️ I guess black girls magic is real!! We are beautiful and we should appreciate what we have because to me it's just envy towards black women, cause when a woman decide to care for herself it bothers some people. Thank you for your dedication👏🏽
Your content has helped this Black woman. I found your channel last week and I am so grateful for your art and obedience to your calling. This channel is such a safe space to be vulnerable, tired, joyful and feel the full spectrum of feelings where life really doesn’t afford us that right. So, thank you and the haters can kick rocks 🥰✨
Oh wow. I am humbled and so happy at your comment. It is LITERALLY my joy to be able to share and encourage other Black women. What a blessing! Much love and joy to you!!! 💛💛💛
In so many cases,women are not taught to do very much self care for themselves, then we get burned out.We do need to be able to fill our cups in order to in a healthy way help others. I'm thankful that I found your RUclips channel. ❤
I'm so happy you're here! ☺️💛 And you are absolutely right! Self care is something I had to learn along the way. If anything, I was taught the exact opposite: be everything fo others, even if it costs you your health, livelihood, and even your life. It's crazy. 😔
@@AleciaRenece Thanks so much,your messages will help so many people. ❤I've shared your page with my best friend because she's on the journey of rebuilding as well.
Yes,I so much agree with you, I have been going through my self discovery and learning to take care of myself spiritually for awhile. My life since childhood has been about pleasing others and I have to have my own life.
@@jenniferhaynes8625 Oh My! Same here. I am a recovering people pleaser and I've been on my personal growth and healing journey for almost 3 years now. It's so freeing to let go of the 'conditioning' that I was taught all my life. This space here w/Alecia and her beautiful community is what I need at this exact moment in my life.
I adore and appreciate you for creating this safe space for Black Women. You shouldn't even have to explain yourself, but I'm happy to see you stand up for your platform. Your content has inspired and affirmed me. I hope to get to a point where I can create a physical space for Black women in my area. Keep creating and inspiring. God bless you! 💜
Your content is appreciated. I think there are so many black women who appreciate your content. Keep creating for black women 😁. We need positive life-affirming content. ❤
THANK YOU! Your experiences resonates with me, having gone to a PWI, working in corporate worlds where people want to use you for your opinions then taking them as their own (even other women), and just living day to day. I have said this time and time again....when we focus on ourselves and our people we are targeted and deemed as wrong. I have said this before and I will say it again. I APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU BRING, SAFE SPACES AND PLACES TO BE ABLE TO JUST BE AND ACKNOWLEDGE ME. It is imperative for our mental health.
That question about broader reach if you removed the focus from Black Women... oof. It speaks VOLUMES about some folks only focusing on numbers and not the message. They simply don't get it. This is your chosen niche. As you have reiterated here, not everything is for everyone AND THAT IS OKAY. Your channel has a mission and a message AND a target audience. Your seeds are being planted in the right soil.
I am So glad u spoke about Shame! I have seen people ashamed of their parents, their jobs, who worked hard, honestly, so that kids could attend college, have a better life! At least they weren't Stealing!!
Amazing video . I don’t personally know you . But I am so proud of you . Yes , I am a proud Black woman . I wear my hair short like you do. I feel strength and I feel free when I cut my hair . I also look Damn good with my hair short and my brown radiant skin. I see how we are being targeted as black women .We have to stay strong , know our worth , maintain calm and know when to fight back . It’s heavy on us ,but we will prevail .You are awesome my sister. Keep doing what you love. I got nothing but love for you 🥰
I wrote my comment in the beginning but I am finding myself nodding and clapping like I'm in the room with you... I hate when people say they see no color and a black women's experiences a non black woman could never understand it was designed that way and so they come with that how dare you attitude 😡... They also envy us for our strength... You are so on point my sister... I hate when our people bend their talents to suit everyone just for monetary gain...👏🏽
Ok Sis! I’m freaking out because it’s like you are in my head speaking for me!! Let me tell you that you are a blessing, please continue speaking all the TRUTHS!! Your words give me so much energy!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely love your videos!! It’s really exhausting to be a black woman in this country. I’m so glad I found your channel because you’re speaking to me and so many of us! Please keep going and know we appreciate you!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🥳🎉🎊
Im so sick of black men and women saying they like and prefer long hair on black women and try to make long limp hanging swinging loose hair the epitome of black phenotypical beauty. I as a black women don't try to own, claim or achieve long hair to prove something. If i dont happen to grow it naturally without trying like the black woman that do have long hair, god didn't mean for me to have it. Lastly haircuts is a normal grooming technique for wool hair duuh.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I recently found your videos and you have articulated my feelings perfectly on many issues. Yes, I am a Black woman. But moreover, I am the sum of my ancestors, upbringing, and experiences. As of late I am really annoyed at people trying to throw all Black women into a bucket. I’ve been told that I’m not “Black” enough. Who gets to decide that?!? Where’s the meter for that?!? And you are absolutely correct, for some reason anything that is specifically geared towards us seems to trigger other races of woman. I really don’t get it!
As a black South American(Guyanese) woman, I learnt 30 years ago when I became a single mother that other people's opinons of me is NONE of my business. I will not disrespect anyone but if you come for me I WILL tell you where to go. I do not believe we as black women owe anyone an explanation for the things we do, say or create. I moved to Brasil 10 years ago and the black experience here is completely different from my country. I was never more aware of being black until I move here but even here I will not allow ANYONE to disrespect me. KNOW who you are and do not allow folks to live in your head rent free!
I love, LOVE, LOVVVVVVVVE your content!!! I am glad that you, Stephanie Perry, Rashida on the Loose and several others unapologetically create content to showcase another option for black women outside of the 'strong struggle black woman.' This content helped me A LOT! I made the option to take a sabbatical from corporate America due to seeing content from channel like yours.
New Subscriber! Can’t wait to read my Love letters lol 🙂 I’ve noticed with a lot of Creators that are Intelligent and offer a different outlook on the black experience get attacked by other races about inclusion. Interesting.
The mainstreaming, (highjacking) of AAVE really still blows my mind a little in 2022, if I’m honest. It’s as though bw are indeed guilted into sharing every aspect of our identity. Thank you for giving voice to a feeling I couldn’t quite find the language to articulate.
6:41 Yes!!! I have binge watched so many of your videos since I found you a couple weeks ago because your content totally resignates with me. Not just the resignation of being a black female, but then you are an artist too, nobody truly understands an artist but another artist...and lastly you are not afraid to speak the entire truth unapologetically...
I'm 57 yrs young and I also enjoy this content. So refreshing to hear such an honest perspective about the life of black women. You are an inspiration to young women around the world!
Alecia, I just love your channel. Your talks are so inspirational. If we don't care for ourselves, nobody else will. Even today, it's a huge struggle for us to just love ourselves. Keep ignoring the trolls. You are a young lady after my own heart, you speak to my heart. Continue to stand in your truth and Be Blessed!!
I enjoy your channel. You so eloquently put into words what I’ve been feeling and telling my friends for a long time. It dawned on me that we are the only culture of women hollering about being strong and independent. I saw some of my friends become worn down and stressed out due to this narrative. I realized it’s okay to be weak and admit to needing help. It’s ok to be a damsel in distress. And speaking of black women and childbirth, I had an older lady tell me her experience of when she went to give birth. She said she wanted an epidural but they took so long to get to her, the baby was crowning and it was too late for it to be administered. She said she later learned from a white nurse that because black women were viewed as being so strong, they didn’t feel the need to make it a priority to give black women an epidural because they could handle the pain.
Your message is GREATLY appreciated. My life is drama free in so many areas, with limited access by choice. It was a journey to get here, and at 61, I'm loving the peace. Black Women know your worth. Keep inspiring and being great beautiful lady! 🙏💕
Thank you so much for this. It's a lot of food for thought and thank you for putting yourself in a position and being bold enough to make this video knowing is going to push away "other" people but you are staying true to yourself and that is not easy on a public platform.
Honestly I was burning this year and at the end of my rope. You reallly recharged my spirit, I'm actually hopeful again. Please keep doing what your doing.
That’s why I love Chrissie’s channel too. She speaks on creating a safe solely for black women to be in their own space, unapologetically and stop being so inclusive all the time like we normally are.
I LOVE that! Black women deserve! And if I'm not mistaken, she speaks to Dark Skinned Black women, specifically too. I LOVE it. Every once in a while, I watch her content, and appreciate it so much.
I am absolutely loving your content! The song you created about feeling left behind has truly calmed my soul and changed my life! I listen to it EVERY morning and my 9 yr old daughter even loves and sings it, which makes my heart smile! So, so, happy I am able to find and see someone else who gets it. Stay blessed!
A sharp black woman sharpening other black women... some people are not ready. Everything is not for me but a culture that thinks I shouldn't want anything. I'm an African woman and we think black American women are privileged. Mainly because your voice is bigger than ours by far. Keep talking...it's a freeing thing.
I haven’t even past #3 because you hit the nail right on the head! We are the ONLY subgroup that gets questioned and hassled for having our own space or choosing to date our own. Maybe we are too loud and proud about it and that’s what bothers them, idk. But it grinds my gears and I have had this convo many times. We are always fighting for the right to something. The right to live, the right to ownership or acknowledgement, the right to love, the right to our own spaces. Smh, it’s exhausting.
Sister, YOU are a breath of fresh air! Much love and light to you! 💕 So much pressure on us as black women. So, I love that this is a safe place to be seen, heard and valued. Just because.
Girl, I love you so much. I really do. You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr, and you have affirmed what I have been saying and feeling for *YEARS.* Thank you for what you do and for being a Healer.❤☮🙂
Definitely Fav! I loved u both first with Fox and Miles, now This. Keep being you and speak your Truth! Surely it's changing America, one by one. God Bless. ♥️
37:53 thank you for having me,... You have inspired me so much...working on a painting of you as my thank you for seeing and speaking up for us... On my channel I know I would go further if I was not talking about injustice and the other ism’s in this country. I think full heartedly that even the algorithm on RUclips is following through with the ism’s because far less content about that gets picked up and actually shown to viewers. But the ism’s are what literally tore my family apart, only because we are black. I think about it all the time, but if I leave all the ism’s out then my story, my struggle and the very purpose I started my channel to turn my pain into purpose and to let the next person in my shoes know what I been through, and because I got through it and it didn’t destroy me, and I still continue to fight, the next little black girl coming up will know they can get through it to... ... it’s like they want you to take the heart and the entire purpose out of your content. They want the usefulness that your channel brings but they don’t want the pain you had to go through that influenced it to go with it...
The fact that you've taken the time to explain this, speaks volumes to how inclusive and considerate black women are and have been. Quite frankly I'm tired of having to explain to others (who have ample of spaces created for them) insisting on inserting themselves in spaces currated and intended for us. Its baffles me. I think it's about time we create spaces for us and be unapologetically exclusive. There are things we need to work out within our selves and with each other, without the noise of others. Thank you for being and providing these safe spaces. I just found you a few days ago and I am truly grateful. "It is revolutionary for black women to choose themselves." 👏👏👏
Love love love your content! I love that you created a soft space for black women. It is soo needed. Not many spaces t have a heart for us and to speak with courage and strength and conviction! Thank you ! I support you wholeheartedly for every point , tho I don’t think trolls deserve a explanation but it is needed. Thank you👏🏾💕💫💫
No one is coming to our rescue. We have to rescue ourselves. We are our own saviors. No apologies Sis for what you are doing We never had this and.... We need this.
Can I just say, as if we don’t know already…THIS IS RUclips…YOU…TUBE! I’m supposed to create what it is that I WANT to create. There are plenty of channels that are not for me…so I go to the channel(s) that are for me. Yet, I have come upon channels that weren’t exactly for me, still I get something out of it! While RUclipsrs often create to be of service to others needs… like you said Tamara, YOU get to serve the demographic that YOU choose to serve. It’s no different from knowing the importance of choose a niche when you choose to go into any other business. So it’s not any different here. And again… this is RUclips!
It's not just black men that are perverted. When I first cut off my hair, I was working with a white guy that told me he thought I was a freak because of my short hair... Very objectified interactions with this guy... Was not a healthy environment for me.
Young lady, I had No idea someone would act that way, Over Something that's YOURS, YOUR hair! So unrealistic for him to react that way! Sometimes, I've found that guys may say degrading things to try to make YOU feel bad, just so they can talk to you. THEY don't really feel up to par so they try to low rate u, place you on their level, so They feel they have a chance. I remember a guy who would always say to me, 'pinch an inch' like I was heavyset! Funny part, I knew I was really skinny, it was obvious, so of course I ignored him! He could not find Anything else negative to say about me, seriously! YOU know how u look, don't allow Anyone to make u feel bad about what God gave you! It Really pisses me off! Please 'IGNORE FOOLISHNISH'. ♥️
Hi Alecia! I'm truly enjoying your content and perspective! You are truly a gem for many of us as black women. Your thoughts and your ability to articulate them are so helpful and inspiring!
Thank you for speaking up for us. Some of us don’t know how to communicate this, your truly have a gift. Im organizing my closet & I had to pause because I had goose bumps when you spoke. You have a very beautiful calling on your life. You will be even more successful & most importantly you are helping to heal black women. That is a legacy sis. Let’s remember this post & watch. I do have the gift of discernment, it has yet to be wrong 😉. & I’m very selective on what I allow in my mind. And every time I hear you speak I feel safe.
Thank you for focusing on black women and uplifting us. I watched this video several times as your message is so necessary and well received. I get so tired of feeling invisible and undervalued. I live in CT and have worked for predominantly white institutions like Yale University where I went through all kinds of hell and changes demanding my respect and fair treatment. It did not end well. I finally just had to drop out of working for any type of corporate or institution like business as I couldn't take the unfair treatment and disrespect I was receiving. I went to work for a nonprofit which was better but probably only because I decided to semi retire and work part time which makes working in disparaging environments easier. Now I just want to chill.. develop the creative parts within me and work for myself.. work at ease. 😌. I'm 67 yrs young..lol
Your presence on RUclips has added joy to my life. Thank you for creating your channel. Please keep going. Your content is a breath of fresh air for me and it is needed. Stay blessed Alecia!
Aleci, thank you so much for continuing to inspire me, watching your content is so healing ❤ as a black women living in the UK I didn't realise how oppressed we are and how conditioned we have been to act and speak in a certain way. I am starting up a business and a massive part of that is going to be catered to black women
I started a beauty blog for Black women. Most of my readership was non-Black women. 🙃 I’ve been enjoying your videos. You’ve inspired me to revamp it and start again! Your table is A-MAZING ❤️
How strange that it attracted more non-bw than actual bw. Where was your traffic coming from? Maybe this attracted the other ladies in your readership.
Awwwww! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Thank you so much 🤗💛🌺 that is truly encouraging and inspiring. And I am SO excited for you to create that space as well! 💛💛💛 Please share any ways to support 😊 much love and joy to you!
It's a shame you even have to make a video discussing why you create content for black women. I watched content all the time geared towards a specific group of people and yet I am not trigger by it. But it seems to bother people if black women do the unthinkable and prioritize ourselves because there's an innate belief we must always prioritize everyone else. As you mentioned, other groups of women do have a certain privilege of not having to deal with the critiques of being a black woman, especially when some of our own men create content solely to demonize us for profit and power on the world's stage.
Hey Fox how y'all doing ..been missing y'all road trips but I know you are an all round powerful woman and there is much more to you than just an rv'er. Let me tell you that if people don't like what you create for or talk about how bout they just go somewhere that speaks to them and let those of us who can relate and identify with you be in peace..I love you and there are a lot of us who do..I know it's hard but try to not allow people who try to take over your space to get in ya head you have a great heart don't let anyone take you out of that sister strut... You do it so well.. You are so on point... Also some of us got enough sense to not want to be where we are not wanted.
EXCELLENT. No one DESERVES an explanation from you, but this is an excellent one that is affirming to those of us who also are NOT GOING to let others tell us who we can talk to about WHATEVER we want to talk about as Black women. Some people need to check and see whether they know it is June of 2022, not 1822...
Brava and thank you! We deserve to be seen and to own our own voices. We do not owe anyone any explanations! Our style, culture is loved and appropriated. People want our culture but hate Black people.
Thank you. I think that other groups are bored with the status quo and won't activate to disrupt it. They lazily enjoy the creativity, divinity and vitality that Black women exude. They desire for us to provide these things for them without having to cultivate these things within themselves which requires years and generational joy, pain and triumphs that we have endured both in the past and presently. We are fully human and divine and many struggle with simply being human. I just found your content and look forward to supporting and enjoying 🥰
Other groups seem to be so disturbed when Black Women get what we deserve in a positive way. Your voice is important, and you’re creating a positive space Black women deserve and have been missing and it bothers them. The ones the message is directed feel your intent whole heartedly ❤️.
Thank you so much for this. 💛💛💛
As a 66-year old Black female, raised in rural Louisiana by sharecropping (cotton) parents and grandparents, I love, love your channel. I was fortunate enough to know six generations of my family. My mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother were domestic workers and farmers. My mother (born in 1937) said that she had picked enough cotton and cleaned enough white people’s homes that I would not have too. After 400-years of servitude in this country, it is time for Black women to get a break. Your channel is providing much needed conversation and service to Black women. I applaud you, Ms Alecia. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💕💕💕
This!
Amen!
I would love to hear stories of your great and great great grandmother's
How BEAUTIFUL! What a blessing to have known these amazing women in your family. I am envious of you and would LOVE to hear your stories. And your mom saying that to you... That literally brings tears to my eyes. And ALL OF THIS!!! I completely agree with you!!! Thank you so much for sharing such beauty with us. Much love and joy to you 💛☺️
YES, Amen to that on So many levels! ♥️
The world (including our own men) are mad that we have the audacity to find self-worth when they've decided that we don't. They are mad that we don't require their permission to just be and we are not looking for them to cosign on our value. On top of the fact that we've decided to leave them be if they can't appreciate us respectively. We aren't even demanding (yet) that they recognize our value, yet they still refuse to acknowledge how much strength it takes to rise above despite our own brothers deciding we are not worthy of honoring. We have NO SECURITY in this world...or very little. I appreciate you creating a space for us to breathe. A space to re-energize so that we are refueled for the fight we have to endure aka live in this world. I need a nap.
Yes, nap! I am ALL for that. It can be so exhausting. And you are speaking absolute FACTS! 💛
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I am in total agreement that we are in need of, and deserving of, our own space to just breathe. This channel is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale world.
How rude and ignorant for someone to say something about a woman with her hair shaved is like a man. You are beautiful and many women that shave their hair still look gorgeous and feminine. I appreciate you talking about the inclusion of women of color.
Thank you so much! That's so sweet! And it is my absolute pleasure! 😘💛 And you are absolutely right! I see some GORGEOUS women with short hair. They are GOALS. These men wouldn't know beauty if it hit them in thr face and they don't deserve these women. Their loss.
I want u to know that this hits home! I remember in 2018 when I had Cancer. I decided to cut my hair off because I was so tired of it coming out after the chemo. My brother could not understand! All of my immediate family members had long hair and he wasn't accustomed to this, 'my belief'! I honestly believe he was ashamed to be seen with me- Oh the mindset of our Black men!! This indoctrination needs to LEAVE!! Anyway, I recognized it for what it was and Moved Forward, thankful to God for sparring my life! I actually got to really enjoy and love my hair, it was curly! People would stop and stare at me and finally ask was this my Real Hair!! Frankly, I got more looks with it like this, ha! Now I've decided to let it grow out and see where it takes me. 👍♥️
P.S. Had to add: We are much More than our hair and skin color! Kudos to Alecia allowing Black women to feel Special and Speak Their TRUTHS! ♥️🙏
The thing is black women have so few positive spaces just for us.
I appreciate your content.
People are saying “you shouldn’t have to explain yourself” but no…. I think this explanation was necessary because people genuinely don’t understand why black women speak to black women. If they didn’t get it, now they do. You really broke it down
💛💛💛 Thank you so much!
Facts! "If they did't get it now they do!"Amen!!!
Say no to mammyism and to those who demand it!
You've explained yourself, which, you didn't have to do. But don't do it again; those who don't get it will never get it until something changes in their experience which makes their lives a living mirror of an aspect of your experience. Spend your time as you are doing, learning yourself, and sharing that with others. I appreciate your honesty, your truth, and the courage you had to change your life. You have something terribly important to give, or you couldn't have, wouldn't have, made the changes you have, because change is extremely difficult, and to do it means digging down into your soul to see what put you on a road that ended in despair in the first place. Even when you know the historical context in which you developed your perspective, in the end, you have to acknowledge that your pain came from a part of you that you were not even vaguely aware of, and that the impact of all the racism, classism, etc. hid you from yourself. In the end, you wind up not blaming the world even though it plays a strong part in your pain. And what you find is strength, true morality, and you create a standard for yourself, and because you created it, no one can take it from you. You realize that you can do any and everything you need to do for yourself, and that you don't need a savior, and that you have only been waiting on yourself. That's what you've done Alecia, and I'm so glad for you. I'm also grateful because it's nice to know, in my old age, that youngster's are discovering this path at a much younger age than I did. I wish you the best.
This, a million times!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯
THANK YOU beautiful young sister...daughter. Queen!
👑👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾💪🏾💜
I agree with all of this except the part where u mention not needing a Savior. You probably didn't mean it that way so I'll say, We All Need and to recognize Jesus.
💯 don’t ever waste time explaining to those who are committed to misunderstand you
I greatly appreciate your channel. So many people have this almost hatred for black woman. Black women are blamed for their own misery but no one wants to talk about the intersectionality of Black and woman.
Girl never forget you're doing meaningful work. Don't let sadists steal your peace and joy. Reserve your joy, vibrance and essence for the people that matter and support your evolution. You don't owe no one an explanation. Mute these trolls because chances are, they're getting HIGH off your response/reaction. Take very good care of yourself. 🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. And your reminder is so important to keep in the forefront of my mind. You are absolutely right. A part of me made this video so when folks ask me, I send them straight to this video. Lol.
@@AleciaRenece I figured that's why you made it and happy you did 🚀 🌟
Even in her own space, a black woman have to justify herself. Smh🤦🏽♀️ I guess black girls magic is real!! We are beautiful and we should appreciate what we have because to me it's just envy towards black women, cause when a woman decide to care for herself it bothers some people.
Thank you for your dedication👏🏽
No one who encounters and truly sees you is going to mistake you for a man! You're beautiful and present as very feminine.
That's so generous of you. 💛 Thank you.
38 minutes of nothing but facts, impressive.
Your content has helped this Black woman. I found your channel last week and I am so grateful for your art and obedience to your calling. This channel is such a safe space to be vulnerable, tired, joyful and feel the full spectrum of feelings where life really doesn’t afford us that right. So, thank you and the haters can kick rocks 🥰✨
YES 👏🏼👏🏼
Found her last week too! She's a game changer.
Oh wow. I am humbled and so happy at your comment. It is LITERALLY my joy to be able to share and encourage other Black women. What a blessing! Much love and joy to you!!! 💛💛💛
In so many cases,women are not taught to do very much self care for themselves, then we get burned out.We do need to be able to fill our cups in order to in a healthy way help others. I'm thankful that I found your RUclips channel. ❤
I'm so happy you're here! ☺️💛 And you are absolutely right! Self care is something I had to learn along the way. If anything, I was taught the exact opposite: be everything fo others, even if it costs you your health, livelihood, and even your life. It's crazy. 😔
@@AleciaRenece Thanks so much,your messages will help so many people. ❤I've shared your page with my best friend because she's on the journey of rebuilding as well.
Thank you Black woman for this space. Signed another Black woman.
Here is to all of us freeing ourselves! This is my favorite online community thank you for this space.
Here Here! I agree w/you 100%.
Yes,I so much agree with you, I have been going through my self discovery and learning to take care of myself spiritually for awhile. My life since childhood has been about pleasing others and I have to have my own life.
@@jenniferhaynes8625 Oh My! Same here. I am a recovering people pleaser and I've been on my personal growth and healing journey for almost 3 years now. It's so freeing to let go of the 'conditioning' that I was taught all my life. This space here w/Alecia and her beautiful community is what I need at this exact moment in my life.
As a white American male who loves the black community I appreciate this content. 🙏🏼 speak your truth especially if it helps others.
Thank you so much for hearing us and supporting us. It means a lot. 💛
@@AleciaRenece I will continue to show my undying support. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
But why do you have a Black man's picture on your avatar, in a space for Black women? Inquiring minds want to know...
@@hymnodyhands because Lil Boosie is hilarious. The picture made me laugh.
I adore and appreciate you for creating this safe space for Black Women. You shouldn't even have to explain yourself, but I'm happy to see you stand up for your platform.
Your content has inspired and affirmed me. I hope to get to a point where I can create a physical space for Black women in my area.
Keep creating and inspiring. God bless you! 💜
Your content is appreciated. I think there are so many black women who appreciate your content. Keep creating for black women 😁. We need positive life-affirming content. ❤
THANK YOU! Your experiences resonates with me, having gone to a PWI, working in corporate worlds where people want to use you for your opinions then taking them as their own (even other women), and just living day to day. I have said this time and time again....when we focus on ourselves and our people we are targeted and deemed as wrong. I have said this before and I will say it again. I APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU BRING, SAFE SPACES AND PLACES TO BE ABLE TO JUST BE AND ACKNOWLEDGE ME. It is imperative for our mental health.
I definitely feel your frustration. It weighs HEAVY! Much love and joy to you! 🤗💛
As far as marketing……… We hold weight! 💪🏾
Absolutely! 💛
That question about broader reach if you removed the focus from Black Women... oof. It speaks VOLUMES about some folks only focusing on numbers and not the message. They simply don't get it. This is your chosen niche. As you have reiterated here, not everything is for everyone AND THAT IS OKAY. Your channel has a mission and a message AND a target audience. Your seeds are being planted in the right soil.
I am So glad u spoke about Shame! I have seen people ashamed of their parents, their jobs, who worked hard, honestly, so that kids could attend college, have a better life! At least they weren't Stealing!!
Unapologetically BLACK!!! ❤️
LOVE THIS!!!✨
💎💎💎
Amazing video . I don’t personally know you . But I am so proud of you . Yes , I am a proud Black woman . I wear my hair short like you do. I feel strength and I feel free when I cut my hair . I also look Damn good with my hair short and my brown radiant skin. I see how we are being targeted as black women .We have to stay strong , know our worth , maintain calm and know when to fight back . It’s heavy on us ,but we will prevail .You are awesome my sister. Keep doing what you love. I got nothing but love for you 🥰
Yeeeeeeeeeees!!! #ShortHairGang! I love this comment so much. It's so true. It's so warm Thank you so much 💛💛💛
You are awesome 😘
Yes👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I wrote my comment in the beginning but I am finding myself nodding and clapping like I'm in the room with you... I hate when people say they see no color and a black women's experiences a non black woman could never understand it was designed that way and so they come with that how dare you attitude 😡... They also envy us for our strength... You are so on point my sister... I hate when our people bend their talents to suit everyone just for monetary gain...👏🏽
Ok Sis! I’m freaking out because it’s like you are in my head speaking for me!! Let me tell you that you are a blessing, please continue speaking all the TRUTHS!! Your words give me so much energy!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely love your videos!! It’s really exhausting to be a black woman in this country. I’m so glad I found your channel because you’re speaking to me and so many of us! Please keep going and know we appreciate you!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🥳🎉🎊
0:42 I thank you because we are overlooked, especially black women artist’s
Absolutely! We gotta talk about that part too! So many layers! 💛
Im so sick of black men and women saying they like and prefer long hair on black women and try to make long limp hanging swinging loose hair the epitome of black phenotypical beauty. I as a black women don't try to own, claim or achieve long hair to prove something. If i dont happen to grow it naturally without trying like the black woman that do have long hair, god didn't mean for me to have it. Lastly haircuts is a normal grooming technique for wool hair duuh.
“I don’t owe you my beauty” would be a great sweatshirt.
Oooooh! You may be onto something!
I thx u, 4 speaking your truth, my truth & the worlds truth.
Black Love is Love!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I recently found your videos and you have articulated my feelings perfectly on many issues. Yes, I am a Black woman. But moreover, I am the sum of my ancestors, upbringing, and experiences. As of late I am really annoyed at people trying to throw all Black women into a bucket. I’ve been told that I’m not “Black” enough. Who gets to decide that?!? Where’s the meter for that?!? And you are absolutely correct, for some reason anything that is specifically geared towards us seems to trigger other races of woman. I really don’t get it!
As a black South American(Guyanese) woman, I learnt 30 years ago when I became a single mother that other people's opinons of me is NONE of my business.
I will not disrespect anyone but if you come for me I WILL tell you where to go. I do not believe we as black women owe anyone an explanation for the things we do, say or create. I moved to Brasil 10 years ago and the black experience here is completely different from my country. I was never more aware of being black until I move here but even here I will not allow ANYONE to disrespect me.
KNOW who you are and do not allow folks to live in your head rent free!
I love, LOVE, LOVVVVVVVVE your content!!! I am glad that you, Stephanie Perry, Rashida on the Loose and several others unapologetically create content to showcase another option for black women outside of the 'strong struggle black woman.' This content helped me A LOT! I made the option to take a sabbatical from corporate America due to seeing content from channel like yours.
You r so right, we deserve So much more. So now I say No sometimes and take time out for me! I AM VALUED.
Everything you talk about resonates so much
Your channel has helped me tremendously, keep creating for “black women” I love it! ❤️ Thank you, for making this a safe place, for me. 👏🏼
This is NEEDED for our women!! I'm reading the 1619 project and we need this bad... We have been through hell in this country.
Let me start reading this book. I cannot wait. 💛
As a black east African woman I appreciate what you are doing with your channel so much
Keep going❤️🙏
Awwww! Thank you so much! Much love and joy to you!
@@AleciaRenece Thank you ❤️❤️
New Subscriber! Can’t wait to read my Love letters lol 🙂
I’ve noticed with a lot of Creators that are Intelligent and offer a different outlook on the black experience get attacked by other races about inclusion. Interesting.
The mainstreaming, (highjacking) of AAVE really still blows my mind a little in 2022, if I’m honest. It’s as though bw are indeed guilted into sharing every aspect of our identity. Thank you for giving voice to a feeling I couldn’t quite find the language to articulate.
Yes! All of this! It is infuriating.
Thank you so much for this 💗 💖 💓 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💗 💖 💓 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💗 💖
6:41 Yes!!! I have binge watched so many of your videos since I found you a couple weeks ago because your content totally resignates with me. Not just the resignation of being a black female, but then you are an artist too, nobody truly understands an artist but another artist...and lastly you are not afraid to speak the entire truth unapologetically...
A little louder for the people in the back! Love your content. Just stumbled upon it on these internet streets and now follow you in all the places.
I'm 57 yrs young and I also enjoy this content. So refreshing to hear such an honest perspective about the life of black women. You are an inspiration to young women around the world!
Alecia, I just love your channel. Your talks are so inspirational. If we don't care for ourselves, nobody else will. Even today, it's a huge struggle for us to just love ourselves. Keep ignoring the trolls. You are a young lady after my own heart, you speak to my heart. Continue to stand in your truth and Be Blessed!!
I enjoy your channel. You so eloquently put into words what I’ve been feeling and telling my friends for a long time. It dawned on me that we are the only culture of women hollering about being strong and independent. I saw some of my friends become worn down and stressed out due to this narrative. I realized it’s okay to be weak and admit to needing help. It’s ok to be a damsel in distress.
And speaking of black women and childbirth, I had an older lady tell me her experience of when she went to give birth. She said she wanted an epidural but they took so long to get to her, the baby was crowning and it was too late for it to be administered. She said she later learned from a white nurse that because black women were viewed as being so strong, they didn’t feel the need to make it a priority to give black women an epidural because they could handle the pain.
Amen🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
“Not going back!”
NEVER 💛💛💛😘
@@AleciaRenece ✨✨✨
Your message is GREATLY appreciated. My life is drama free in so many areas, with limited access by choice. It was a journey to get here, and at 61, I'm loving the peace. Black Women know your worth. Keep inspiring and being great beautiful lady! 🙏💕
Thank you so much for this. It's a lot of food for thought and thank you for putting yourself in a position and being bold enough to make this video knowing is going to push away "other" people but you are staying true to yourself and that is not easy on a public platform.
You go girl!!!!!!!!!! I love you and this channel Keep up the great work!!!
We don't go in other spaces yet every OTHER space seeks us out.
ALWAYS.
Honestly I was burning this year and at the end of my rope. You reallly recharged my spirit, I'm actually hopeful again. Please keep doing what your doing.
*BIG HUGS* 💛💛💛🫂
Alecia your content is the truth. Continue to be lead by the Holy Spirit. Tell the trolls to kick rocks.
Anna! Thank you so much! I definitely will try to keep being led. Much love and joy to you! ☺️💛
That’s why I love Chrissie’s channel too. She speaks on creating a safe solely for black women to be in their own space, unapologetically and stop being so inclusive all the time like we normally are.
I LOVE that! Black women deserve! And if I'm not mistaken, she speaks to Dark Skinned Black women, specifically too. I LOVE it. Every once in a while, I watch her content, and appreciate it so much.
I am absolutely loving your content! The song you created about feeling left behind has truly calmed my soul and changed my life! I listen to it EVERY morning and my 9 yr old daughter even loves and sings it, which makes my heart smile! So, so, happy I am able to find and see someone else who gets it. Stay blessed!
We need these conversations..
Absolutely! 💛💛💛
Your love letter 💌 is received and greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏿
You are so welcome!!!
A sharp black woman sharpening other black women... some people are not ready. Everything is not for me but a culture that thinks I shouldn't want anything. I'm an African woman and we think black American women are privileged. Mainly because your voice is bigger than ours by far. Keep talking...it's a freeing thing.
That's an interesting perspective. I never considered that. Thank you for sharing! Much love and joy to you!
I haven’t even past #3 because you hit the nail right on the head! We are the ONLY subgroup that gets questioned and hassled for having our own space or choosing to date our own. Maybe we are too loud and proud about it and that’s what bothers them, idk. But it grinds my gears and I have had this convo many times. We are always fighting for the right to something. The right to live, the right to ownership or acknowledgement, the right to love, the right to our own spaces. Smh, it’s exhausting.
ALL of this. The ONLY group. And you're right. It IS exhausting!
Your thumbnails are always so beautiful like usual...
Awwwww! Thank you so much ☺️💛😘
Sister, YOU are a breath of fresh air! Much love and light to you! 💕 So much pressure on us as black women. So, I love that this is a safe place to be seen, heard and valued. Just because.
Girl, I love you so much. I really do. You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr, and you have affirmed what I have been saying and feeling for *YEARS.* Thank you for what you do and for being a Healer.❤☮🙂
Definitely Fav! I loved u both first with Fox and Miles, now This. Keep being you and speak your Truth! Surely it's changing America, one by one. God Bless. ♥️
37:53 thank you for having me,...
You have inspired me so much...working on a painting of you as my thank you for seeing and speaking up for us...
On my channel I know I would go further if I was not talking about injustice and the other ism’s in this country. I think full heartedly that even the algorithm on RUclips is following through with the ism’s because far less content about that gets picked up and actually shown to viewers. But the ism’s are what literally tore my family apart, only because we are black. I think about it all the time, but if I leave all the ism’s out then my story, my struggle and the very purpose I started my channel to turn my pain into purpose and to let the next person in my shoes know what I been through, and because I got through it and it didn’t destroy me, and I still continue to fight, the next little black girl coming up will know they can get through it to...
... it’s like they want you to take the heart and the entire purpose out of your content. They want the usefulness that your channel brings but they don’t want the pain you had to go through that influenced it to go with it...
This is sooo beautiful. Thank you ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The fact that you've taken the time to explain this, speaks volumes to how inclusive and considerate black women are and have been.
Quite frankly I'm tired of having to explain to others (who have ample of spaces created for them) insisting on inserting themselves in spaces currated and intended for us. Its baffles me.
I think it's about time we create spaces for us and be unapologetically exclusive. There are things we need to work out within our selves and with each other, without the noise of others.
Thank you for being and providing these safe spaces. I just found you a few days ago and I am truly grateful.
"It is revolutionary for black women to choose themselves." 👏👏👏
YEESSS.. Love this channel and Alecia, your energy and vibe are refreshing ✨️ 🙌🏾 🖤
I’m so glad I found you my sista keeping speaking truth👑🙏🏾❤️
Love love love your content! I love that you created a soft space for black women. It is soo needed. Not many spaces t have a heart for us and to speak with courage and strength and conviction! Thank you ! I support you wholeheartedly for every point , tho I don’t think trolls deserve a explanation but it is needed. Thank you👏🏾💕💫💫
No one is coming to our rescue.
We have to rescue ourselves.
We are our own saviors.
No apologies Sis for what you are doing
We never had this and.... We need this.
Can I just say, as if we don’t know already…THIS IS RUclips…YOU…TUBE! I’m supposed to create what it is that I WANT to create. There are plenty of channels that are not for me…so I go to the channel(s) that are for me. Yet, I have come upon channels that weren’t exactly for me, still I get something out of it! While RUclipsrs often create to be of service to others needs… like you said Tamara, YOU get to serve the demographic that YOU choose to serve. It’s no different from knowing the importance of choose a niche when you choose to go into any other business. So it’s not any different here. And again… this is RUclips!
SPEEEEEEAK! This is the absolute truth 💛☺️
360 degrees of beauty.. That's you inside and out When I see you I'm going to hug you 😀
It's not just black men that are perverted. When I first cut off my hair, I was working with a white guy that told me he thought I was a freak because of my short hair... Very objectified interactions with this guy... Was not a healthy environment for me.
I am so sorry to hear that 😔💛
Young lady, I had No idea someone would act that way, Over Something that's YOURS, YOUR hair! So unrealistic for him to react that way! Sometimes, I've found that guys may say degrading things to try to make YOU feel bad, just so they can talk to you. THEY don't really feel up to par so they try to low rate u, place you on their level, so They feel they have a chance. I remember a guy who would always say to me, 'pinch an inch' like I was heavyset! Funny part, I knew I was really skinny, it was obvious, so of course I ignored him! He could not find Anything else negative to say about me, seriously! YOU know how u look, don't allow Anyone to make u feel bad about what God gave you! It Really pisses me off! Please 'IGNORE FOOLISHNISH'. ♥️
Hi Alecia! I'm truly enjoying your content and perspective! You are truly a gem for many of us as black women. Your thoughts and your ability to articulate them are so helpful and inspiring!
Oh wow! Thank you so much!
I appreciate this channel. I AM EXHAUSTED and your platform is a relief 🙏🏽😊
Love channel is like therapy for me. Your Impact is greater than you know. The naysayers are irrelevant. Thanks for your great content. ❤️❤️❤️
That's very sweet of you! Thank you so much! It's really encouraging.
Thank you for speaking up for us. Some of us don’t know how to communicate this, your truly have a gift.
Im organizing my closet & I had to pause because I had goose bumps when you spoke.
You have a very beautiful calling on your life. You will be even more successful & most importantly you are helping to heal black women.
That is a legacy sis. Let’s remember this post & watch.
I do have the gift of discernment, it has yet to be wrong 😉.
& I’m very selective on what I allow in my mind. And every time I hear you speak I feel safe.
Oh wow! I am honored! Thank you so much for sharing this with me and for your encouraging words! That really warms me! Much love and joy to you!
Thank you for focusing on black women and uplifting us. I watched this video several times as your message is so necessary and well received. I get so tired of feeling invisible and undervalued. I live in CT and have worked for predominantly white institutions like Yale University where I went through all kinds of hell and changes demanding my respect and fair treatment. It did not end well. I finally just had to drop out of working for any type of corporate or institution like business as I couldn't take the unfair treatment and disrespect I was receiving. I went to work for a nonprofit which was better but probably only because I decided to semi retire and work part time which makes working in disparaging environments easier. Now I just want to chill.. develop the creative parts within me and work for myself.. work at ease. 😌. I'm 67 yrs young..lol
This is definitely a safe space
That makes my heart so HAPPY! 🥹💛🌻
Your presence on RUclips has added joy to my life. Thank you for creating your channel. Please keep going. Your content is a breath of fresh air for me and it is needed. Stay blessed Alecia!
That makes me SO happy! Much love and joy to you!!! You stay blessed as well!
You kept popping up in my feed, I am so glad I finally clicked on your video.
Please keep going, don't stop.
We need you and your voice so much.
Ignore the nonsense. I shaved my head for ten years and loved it 😊. My family did too. Many ladies complimented the look. Keep doing what you do..
Yeeeeeees! I am LOVING my short hair!
@@AleciaRenece Enjoy 😁
Aleci, thank you so much for continuing to inspire me, watching your content is so healing ❤ as a black women living in the UK I didn't realise how oppressed we are and how conditioned we have been to act and speak in a certain way. I am starting up a business and a massive part of that is going to be catered to black women
Thank you, Alecia Renece😀😃
I started a beauty blog for Black women. Most of my readership was non-Black women. 🙃 I’ve been enjoying your videos. You’ve inspired me to revamp it and start again! Your table is A-MAZING ❤️
How strange that it attracted more non-bw than actual bw. Where was your traffic coming from? Maybe this attracted the other ladies in your readership.
I believe in you!!! Let's do it! And thank you so much! Let's all eat!
Love and appreciate you. And thank you for the work that you do. So inspired to create similar spaces for Black women here in the UK.
Awwwww! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Thank you so much 🤗💛🌺 that is truly encouraging and inspiring. And I am SO excited for you to create that space as well! 💛💛💛 Please share any ways to support 😊 much love and joy to you!
Thank you sis! I appreciate you
It's a shame you even have to make a video discussing why you create content for black women. I watched content all the time geared towards a specific group of people and yet I am not trigger by it. But it seems to bother people if black women do the unthinkable and prioritize ourselves because there's an innate belief we must always prioritize everyone else. As you mentioned, other groups of women do have a certain privilege of not having to deal with the critiques of being a black woman, especially when some of our own men create content solely to demonize us for profit and power on the world's stage.
Thank you and just subscribed , I’m looking forward to watching more of your content . It’s refreshing and appreciated 🙏🏾
Hey Fox how y'all doing ..been missing y'all road trips but I know you are an all round powerful woman and there is much more to you than just an rv'er. Let me tell you that if people don't like what you create for or talk about how bout they just go somewhere that speaks to them and let those of us who can relate and identify with you be in peace..I love you and there are a lot of us who do..I know it's hard but try to not allow people who try to take over your space to get in ya head you have a great heart don't let anyone take you out of that sister strut... You do it so well.. You are so on point... Also some of us got enough sense to not want to be where we are not wanted.
Preach lady be OK in your house!
EXCELLENT. No one DESERVES an explanation from you, but this is an excellent one that is affirming to those of us who also are NOT GOING to let others tell us who we can talk to about WHATEVER we want to talk about as Black women. Some people need to check and see whether they know it is June of 2022, not 1822...
Thank you so much Ms. Deeann!!! Exactly! 💛💛💛💛💛
Brava and thank you! We deserve to be seen and to own our own voices. We do not owe anyone any explanations! Our style, culture is loved and appropriated. People want our culture but hate Black people.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank You for ALL of this! We need your voice (talking and singing.)
I don't understand why people can not just take what resonate with you and leave the rest. I stand with you. We are collectively stronger.
Thank you. I think that other groups are bored with the status quo and won't activate to disrupt it. They lazily enjoy the creativity, divinity and vitality that Black women exude. They desire for us to provide these things for them without having to cultivate these things within themselves which requires years and generational joy, pain and triumphs that we have endured both in the past and presently. We are fully human and divine and many struggle with simply being human. I just found your content and look forward to supporting and enjoying 🥰
I don’t even know what number I’m on🤣🤣🤣, but I am here(hear) FOR IT ALL ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
LOL! Thank you so muuuuch!
I needed to hear this. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy you resonated with this!
