Sis, that black woman is not your competition she is your mirror. (The importance of sisterhood).

Ladies, we are not each other’s competition. We need to switch up the narrative and start looking at each other as inspiration. Allowing someone else to shine will never dim your own light. We have to uplift each other and bring back the art of genuine sisterhood. 

The importance of sisterhood goes beyond camaraderie. As black women we originate from magic; we are a force once we know how to tap into it. That magic that lives inside you, and me, lives inside all of our black sisters and is intensified when we come together. So why aren’t acting as such? There is a natural flowing connection between each and every one of us that binds us together mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. You are your sister’s keeper. Our ancestor’s survival relied on us sticking together, having each other’s back. That black woman that you are in competition with is a mirror; a reflection of you. You are her, she is you. We have been tricked and fooled into thinking otherwise. Now is the time to unlearn, reprogram, and uplift one another. 

Stop the cattiness. Mean girl energy is not cute at your big age. It’s giving unresolved trauma. You need to heal that baby. Also, queens, I don’t know who needs to hear this BUT It’s okay to acknowledge another black woman. It’s okay to give another black woman an honest and sincere compliment. It’s okay to be friendly and speak, wave, or smile when you walk past another black woman in public. And another thing, let it be known, getting into it with each other over a man is simp behavior. We’re on our healed girl shit, smart girl shit, I know my worth, and I know better shit. Sisters over misters. Chicks over d……

Remember we are powerful together. Forming a community of like-minded black women creates a sisterhood of feminine divinity that feels like home. We are the nurturers, the healers, the goddesses, and the key to transforming this world for the better. We can’t do that if we’re too busy trying to bring each other down. We need each other.
