Future of Black Women and Girls

This rising, as I was diving into some historical research and doing my usual deep work of self-discovery, a realization hit me. I started thinking about the game of chess—not just as a pastime, but as a metaphor for power, roles, and the systems we've inherited without question. On the surface, chess is about strategy, hierarchy, and dominance. And within this structure, the King is considered the most important piece. But... is he really? Let’s think about this. The King barely moves. He stays protected. Sheltered. His movements are limited. Meanwhile, it’s the Queen who moves across the board with power, precision, and range. She holds down the front lines, makes the boldest plays, and adapts with unmatched fluidity. She’s the powerhouse. So why is the King still considered the most important piece?

Now  before  you  go  judging,  ask  yourself— are  you  open  to  a  new  perspective?  If  the  answer  is  no,  this  may  not  be  the  post  for  you.  However,  if  you  have  the  courage  to  be  open  to  another  perspective  that  brings  a  different  point  of  view  you  may  not  have  considered— one  that  could  potentially  spark  a  light  within,  to  probe  for  more  information  beyond  this  post— then  keep  reading.

Let’s be real—life is full of distractions. But the deepest work begins with  self-actualization . And for Black women and girls, one of the biggest distractions we face is the game of dating—a game that’s had a tight grip on us for far too long. The truth is, we need the courage to see our desire for men and relationships for exactly what it is: often a distraction dressed up as destiny. What if I told you that as you grow and master the art of  detachment , you begin to see men for who they truly are—outside of the fairytales and without the rose-colored glasses? What if I told you that your very life, your purpose, your peace, could depend on this realization? Many women are out here wondering why they can’t find the work they love. Why they feel stuck in  survival mode . Why they haven’t tapped into their highest path. I believe so much of this has to do with our  energy drains —the emotional labor we pour into others while neglecting ourselves. When your energy ...
