Black in classic

I’m sure we’ve all seen the producing loving women showing how much they appreciate their love for green vegetables.  This post is not meant to shame any woman’s choice, but to shed light on how we can change as individuals to make us better as a whole. I’m not going to write a super deep and introspective think piece because I’m sure there are tons of bloggers who have it covered. I just want to say that we are all not the same and I don’t have to crusade behind these women with that “save my sister” bs. It is important to acknowledge that these things are happening and to raise the standard. Our standards for what we have found acceptable are extremely low. We don’t expect much of each other. My expectations for the women around me are to the moon. There is a certain level of dignity and class that every woman in my presence must own. I’m not here to judge these girls. I just want to challenge women to, in the words of Nicki Minaj, step your cookies up. Challenge yourself to expect more. Raising the bar for yourself forces others to rise to the occupation. If we accept produce masturbation for Instagram views and likes then we are all doomed. Also, it is always okay to opt out on the crazy fun party. Sometimes you are worth more than whatever fun time you think you may have. Value yourself more so you put yourself in better situations. Again, I don’t want to come across to “preach-y”. I just want each of us, as women, to do better individually. As you do better, you know better, you are better. Leave the produce loving women to be who they are. Love yourself more and level up.
