I was raised to believe that my voice is powerful. I was raised to believe to always stand up from whatever felt good in my soul. I was raised to believe that my voice, my opinions and my thoughts matter. I was told repeatedly from my mother, “Cherie, there is nothing in this world that [...]
Ladies, please explain to me the logic of fighting another woman over a cheating man. I understand the logic of both of you fighting him. I will never embarrass myself fighting any woman over a cheating man. (Cherie Johnson Is 2 cool for that.) If women banned together, men would stop. Other women owe you [...]
Let’s face it: social media is the best time waster on earth right now. It has us all captivated, where we don’t have a clue how much time we are really spending there. I admit... I got it bad, way too much of my time is being spent looking at my phone. I get lost [...]
As long as I’m talking, we are good. It’s when I get quiet... I’m done. I talk to try to change things. Once I realize my words aren’t heard or considered, I can’t change anything or make someone see the flaw or fault in the situation, it’s my turn to sit back and evaluate myself, [...]
My name is Monique and I was born in the Bronx, NY and raised into the woman I am in Queens, NY. I am a health and wellness coach, an aspiring author, and a podcaster. I enjoy podcasting and being a voice for those young and old, boys and girls, women and men who don’t [...]
I finally got it! When you truly accept your flaws and love yourself for who you are and what you look like, without wanting to constantly change (improve) your appearance, there is a sense of self-love. I didn't realize that everyone wasn't born with this love. I have never been the type of girl to make a big [...]
If you had any doubt in your mind, you are beautiful! You are beautiful because of the DNA running through your veins. You are the makings of royalty true Kings and Queens. ALL life began with you. Your gift is your blackness! Stand proud in it, your skin is a gift. All that see it, [...]
"You just have to get to know them" & "That's just how they are" are excuses given by loved ones for their folks' bad behavior. I've been seen as problematic because I became unwilling to stay quiet and "keep the peace" about dysfunction once my daughter was born. I refused to teach her that chaos, dysfunction and disrespect was environmentally normal, because it is NOT! I [...]
“You can't beat a man who battles himself every day...” Says my 8-year-old out of the blue at the most perfect time. Mind you nobody in my home was fighting, but I was sitting around overthinking a situation I can't change. I thought I was overthinking quietly but obviously; my thoughts were louder than I knew. LOL. [...]
There are a large number of men and women who seek drama to survive! I have been called uncaring, self-absorbed and indifferent because I’m unable to jump on the soap opera bandwagon of life. This is a tactic that drama kings and queens use to draw you into the mess, so you won’t remain standing on [...]
