Ready

I use to be shy about admitting I wanted you 

I often crack jokes and played the independent woman role as if I was invincible and would never fall.

At this point in my life I will admit that I Yaminah Marie Stribling wants my very own dose of it!! There I said it!!  

I think about trips and  vacations in my head of us traveling the world and gaining new experiences! 

I see the holidays spent with our families sharing and creating new traditions.

 The nights and days of coming home to you and laughing for no reason at all.  

The prayers we share together living and achieving success while building our empire.  

I think about the ups and the downs and the choice THE CHOICE!!! 

We make to get through them together.

 I smile knowing you choose to be here and we choose to be the best for each other.

At this point I am fighting pass my hurts and believing that this dream I share of you will be my reality. I will admit I have been wanting you for sometime now can you give me a call. This time I am foreal and ready to land not fall in your arms. (Ready for love/relationships) 

Black Love and Pride (Respect For Our Own)

Society prefers to have us think that we no longer love our own. However I believe that is a lie!! One thing I have discovered is that when a Black King discovers his Queen and chooses to build with her he has then found a piece of himself. Today we see the images of our culture displayed in TV reality shows and high drama fashions and our youth believes this to be real.  Society offers us images of our men choosing women of other racial back grounds as preference. With those numbers being  a small few and its shows our sisters as high tempered angry black women and that being a lie as well.

I have a hope that the natural beauty and class of a black woman is alive and well and she is still as radiant and demanding of attention as ever.

Our daughters need to know that their beauty lies not in the amount of makeup used to cover their flaws or the amount of extensions applied to their hair to add fullness and length. We need to teach them that the illusions of who are do not capture the full scope of a beautiful black woman. In our culture there are so many strikes against us its up to us as a people to teach and share the beauty of our heritage and history with our babies.

We have to teach our boys at a young respect for his mother and women in his life. For it is in the rearing of our children at an early age will they learn to respect family and bonds.

Today in our time there are too many youth with no clue of who they are and what respect means for self and others its our job to teach that.( For a man with no clue of his history is lost indeed).

I am a lover of all but I have the most supreme love for my people!! They are me (I am them )

we are together a strong people of pride and beauty!! I love being Black and I love Black love!!

How I feel about Black Love!

Some say that the Black man no longer desires his God given queen I say not so, My take on this issue is that a Black man can and will never be able to deny the love for His black woman and it all starts from the beginning when he exits his mothers womb a black woman is the first being to show a black man love she is the first one to answer his cries when he is a child. She is the one who teaches and has taught him how to survive so when society tries to tell us that Black men no longer love us I say not so. Now don't get me wrong love has no color I am a lover so if a Black man does find love in a nother woman of another race I can respect that but Black men you should never put down or diss what you come from that shows a sign of pure ignorance. We as a people should begin to lead by example a way to do this is to show our children that committment and real love exist among our households we need to get back to the love we had when we where being separated back in slavery.
