Black Girls_ Strive to be a woman of substance! Don__ solely allow your big butt, thick thighs, wide hips, large breasts, and overall good looks to define you as a woman. Your looks alone shouldn__ define who you are. What more do you have to offer? What is your TRUE character? How is your attitude? What have you accomplished? Do you have respect for yourself? What do you represent? Everywhere you look, there__ another beautiful, stunning, fine looking sista. Stand out from the rest and dare to be different! Your good looks should only be a bonus, not the main factor. #RealTalk

Black Girls_ Always remember: It__ so easy, and it takes very little effort, to be like the next person. Don__ insult yourself like that. Be yourself! Walk YOUR walk. Talk YOUR talk. Be uniquely YOU in everything that you do. A confident woman who has a strong sense of self is quite beautiful. Allow your light to shine from the inside out. Self-love is the greatest love of all. Love, respect, and be good to yourself, first! You matter! You count! And you__e important, too!

Black Girls_ Stop settling for less than what you deserve. That__ why I stress self-love! There comes a time when you can no longer blame a man. You__e got to hold yourself accountable for the choices that you make. Choose wisely! Slow down. Pay attention. Don__ allow his good looks and swag to blind you from the truth. Don__ be so easily flattered by money, cars, jewelry, and all of that other stuff. Your heart and well-being is worth much more than that. Choose someone who respects, loves, and adores you. Somebody who has your best interest at heart. Nothing less! Allow yourself to experience REAL love. Stop giving your love, time, and attention to men who clearly don__ deserve it. #ItsAllUpToYou

Ladies! I encourage you NOT to be so easily flattered by what a man has. Be flattered by his strength, courage, integrity, and character as a man. Be impressed by his ability to be honest, faithful, loving, and respectful to you. Be impressed because he can communicate and openly express his feelings. Be impressed because he__ got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed because he__ a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk!

Let today mark a new beginning for you. Give yourself permission to say NO without feeling guilty, mean, or selfish. Anybody who gets upset and/or expects you to say YES all of the time clearly doesn__ have your best interest at heart. Always remember: You have a right to say NO without having to explain yourself. Be at peace with your decisions.

Give yourself a break. Embrace and accept yourself for who YOU are. Love yourself and be kind to yourself. See the best in yourself! Be brave and have courage to be comfortable in your own skin. Knowing your self-worth is everything.

There__ No Denying It. It__ a great feeling when others believe in you. But today, I want to encourage you to believe in yourself, no matter what! Always believe in yourself, wholeheartedly. No matter what people may say or think, if YOU believe in your capabilities to do something, DO IT. Allow your passion to motivate you every step of your journey. Allow your passion to give you strength when doubt tries to set in. Stay true to yourself and do it how YOU see it! And remember: It__ okay to be different! Be uniquely YOU.

Crying is NOT a weakness. Cry as much as you have to. Don__ be afraid or ashamed to let your tears flow. Crying is a natural part of life. We all have feelings, and sometimes crying is all that we can do. Crying can help relieve the pain, hurt, disappointments, and all of the other things that life can throw our way. Know that it__ okay, and know that you__e going to be okay as well. Wishing You: Peace of mind, Comfort, Happiness, Joy within and LOVE.

MUSIC is, can, and will.

MUSIC. It__ in my heart! It__ in my mind! It__ in my soul! Music has a way of taking control of my entire being, and I__ perfectly okay with that! Music is Life! Music is LOVE. Music makes life extra special! Music is a GIFT to the world!

So what if you have stretch marks. So what if you have cellulite. So what if you don__ have a big butt. So what if you don__ have large breasts. So what if you don__ have flawless skin. So what if you don__ have a body that other people deem to be perfect. So what! Don__ allow people to define YOUR beauty. Hold your head up high and know who YOU are! DO NOT EVER allow anybody to make you feel as if you__e NOT enough. You ARE enough! BELIEVE that.

I am RESILIENT, therefore, I am unstoppable. It__ important to always remember who YOU are. No matter what challenges you may have to face, ALWAYS stay true to yourself and NEVER give up. Never!

Respect, Love, and Value yourself. Always remember to be good to yourself by taking care of yourself. Make yourself a priority and know that it__ okay. Don__ feel guilty for loving yourself, first! You__e just as important as anybody else.

Say It Out Loud: I AM beautiful. I AM worthy. I AM somebody. I DO deserve to be genuinely loved. I DO deserve to be respected. I DO deserve happiness.

When you are unique and rare, be prepared to be hated on. Family, so-called friends, and associates will show their true character when they see you succeeding. Words of Wisdom: Stay focused! Don__ allow anybody to rob you of your purpose. Keep on shining! Keep on thriving! Hold your head up high and do the damn thing! Everybody will NOT be happy for you, everybody will NOT rejoice with you, and everybody will NOT believe in you. And that__ okay! Be your OWN personal cheerleader. This is about YOU, not them. Haters don__ deserve your time or energy. Do YOU. Your destiny is yours to keep!

If you sincerely want to be successful in life, all you need is one person to believe in you, and that one person should be YOU. As long as you genuinely believe in yourself, you can and will be a success. Your mindset is a powerful force! What you think and how you think will be the ultimate factor of your journey__ end.

So, you want to be in a relationship and you__e tired of being single, right? But let me ask you an important question: Do you have a healthy relationship with yourself? I get it! Everybody wants to be in love and feel loved, but trust me, SELF-LOVE is far more important. How is YOUR mind, YOUR body, YOUR spirit? Listen, it__ okay to be single! You may not want to be single, but sometimes it__ best. Learn to commit to yourself, first. Be good to yourself, take care of yourself, and love yourself! You__e got to like and love who YOU are before you can give your very best to that special someone. Don__ be in a rush and don__ be desperate. Work on yourself first and be at peace.

Don__ ruin your life over somebody else__ foolishness. If they want to leave, let them leave! Manipulating, begging, or coercing someone to stay with you is an insult to SELF. Have confidence in yourself! Know your worth! Take a stand for YOU. You deserve to be loved, respected, and appreciated by someone who__ genuinely in love with you. It may hurt to let go, but trying to force someone to stay with you is more damaging than you realize. It__ VERY unhealthy. Set Yourself Free! Be a Priority to Yourself!
