Yes, her name is Nguyen Nguyen. My grade 6 classmate that sat in front of me. She never spoke to anyone. Not even the teacher. I mean, EVER. But she was brilliant & never needed help with anything. We would walk to school together, & even then—not a single word. Then one day…
Do you ever randomly think about someone from your past and think, “I hope you’re well, wherever you are”?

So after y’all took this tweet to the moon and beyond…something told me to get back to the drawing board— my FACEBOOK and try again. & after hours of digging…. I thought I found her last night. She responded this morning. 🥹😭🙏🏾 And you wouldn’t believe what her career is…

That was my first and last time hearing her voice. I think about her often. I’ve searched for her as well, but so many ppl go by the same name. I hope you’re okay girl & I miss you too. 💕

After school, I stayed behind to pack up my desk—my parents were moving us to Brampton. Everyone had left but she was still at her desk. Not like her but I didn’t think anything of it until she looked at me and said “I’m going to miss you Sasha”.’🥺🥺

There’s a girl I’ve followed since the beginning of IG. She’s been cheering me on for almost 15 years. Today I saw a post from her account letting us know the details of her funeral. She was just posting about how proud she was of the woman she was becoming. Life is so fragile.

That memory of Nguyen lived rent free in my head for 22 years. Untouched. Never did I imagine that sharing it on here would change a thing. This is so wild. What an unreal turn of events. My heart is actually SO full.

Guys, we’re now friends on IG. I know you guys want a physical reunion but I’m not 100% sure if it’ll happen. I don’t wanna be pushy, I’m not tryna scare her off with my excitement lmaoooo. I’ll have to keep yall in the loop. After all, we currently live SO CLOSE to each other.

My problem is NOT that you want to lose weight. It’s that you won’t live your best life UNTIL you lose it.
What a waste of a perfectly good life.

I just started watching the Indian & Jewish Matchmaker & it’s actually kinda mindblowing that this is LEGITIMATELY the very basics of all other culture’s criteria for dating/marriage but when Black women in the say it, they’re demonized & gaslit — & called every name in the book.

A guy took me on a date here once & then stopped talking to me midway through it bc while we were walking, I asked him when was the last time he saw his Son & if he helps his baby mother. 😩 Man got silent on me & dropped my ass right back home.

It’s so interesting to see the direction Shannon’s show is going. And I just KNOW he didn’t expect it to be QUITE like this.
Monique tore Oprah a new one here. She did her so dirty. All for what? Ratings?
NGL… After hearing this I do believe Oprah did Taraji dirty and everything we’ve seen from the two is just PR.
Oprah comes off performative and untrustworthy.

It’s how ppl have to lose weight for their wedding.
…for their vacation.
…for their high school reunion.
…for their graduation.
….to find a man.
…to wear the bikini.
….to be taken seriously.
It’s how they’ve attached THINNESS to being WORTH IT our entire lives.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it feels sooooooooo good to be in the presence of someone who admires your body. Someone who can’t take their hands and eyes off of you. Like...I will NEVER go back to the passiveness.

Y’all use men’s gaze to validate you EVERY SINGLE DAY, but the minute a fat girl and/or dark skin girl wants to play, suddenly it’s “men will fk anything babe” —“you’re not his type”—“just cuz they wanna fk you, doesn’t mean they love u”— & I just wanna let yall know, we see you.

Man, I’ve been trying to find the words to express what the black community, specifically BM, TRULY got to witness through Clay’s situation on that last episode of Love Is Blind…but I no longer need to bc I went to his IG & this lady laid it out in ways I couldn’t. #LoveIsBlind6

Riddle me THIS. Fat people have to get psych evaluation and/or therapy before they get approved for Weight-loss surgery. Trans people also have to get it before physically transitioning. So PLEASE tell me WHY THE HELL you wouldn’t need to do the same for BBLs?
I’ll wait.

Ppl are saying it’s bc she’s a mom & honestly, I don’t even think that’s solely it cuz I feel the EXACT same & I have no kids. You grow up & out of certain things. One day you wake up & you’re like, this chapter is CLOSED. The general public does not need to see all my cawnaz.

I realize the reason why so many non-fat ppl are always talking about “what a fat woman can & can’t get” is bc they see a lot of big women getting loved on & it actually infuriates them. Bc they were taught that THEY had to maintain a certain body type to receive a man’s love…

I’m actually a phenomenal woman. It took me a while to own that bc I didn’t ever want to come across as pompous. But the reality is, whether platonic or romantic, I’m a literal gift to whoever is blessed enough to have me.

Everybody knows you get treated better when you lose weight. People are kinder. But I think the irony of it all is that even though you’re now physically smaller- somehow, ppl can finally SEE you. And that realization in itself is enough to make a person with a brain sick.

If women truly knew how often their men hit on big women, they’d really change their tune. Letting your guard down around me bc you aren’t “threatened” is cute but just know it’s only my morals that you can depend on. Not your nxgga. LMAO Cuz I be sending nxggas back home DAILY.

Both. But when I would talk to her on the way to school, I knew she was listening. She never ignored me. Sometimes she’d smile as a response. Rarely but every once in a while, ya. I got used to her. I guess we got used to each other.

as someone with no kids, if your kids never came up in our first convo, I won’t trust you.
Ppl with kids…how soon do you tell someone you’re talking to that you have a kid?. I have found that no matter how I bring it up it’s never the right time and alot of times it kills Their vibe with me 😥

This exact thing happened to me & I had those same thoughts for a moment. I still chose to call off the wedding. Best decision of my life bc now I’m about to marry the man of my dreams 6 years later. Never EVER settle. When we do that, we make God small. And trust me, He is NOT.
Not me finding out that my fiancé is still seeing his ex and they’ve been meeting frequently, our wedding is the next 6months 🥺 I’m conflicted about the decision I should make, also if I call the wedding off what if I don’t find a guy that’ll see me as a potential wife. 😭

You know what…I was side-eyeing this at first…but at the rate that black women & babies are mistreated and/or killed during labour…when it’s my time, I TOO, will tell them I’m on LIVE— just to avoid the bullshit. I’ll be like “& the number keeps going up😍” Great idea.

Guys. My man has money. FR. And he ran me down. He also waited MONTHS for me to be over my single stage. They date big women bc they are attracted to big women. We’re human beings as well. And we pull nggas AS WELL. Daily. So either cry about it or seek immediate therapy.

…almost as perfect as this pic. 🥹 We talked. We laughed. Reminisced & congratulated each other on life. No strings attached. Just two old friends crossing paths again. TY to every one of you who pushed me to look for her, a part of my 11 yr old heart definitely healed today. 💕

Black women living in North America & Europe…I truly believe that if you can find a way to visit Ghana, you should. Prioritize it. I’ve only been here a few days & it’s already eradicated this idea that something is “wrong” w/ me. The only thing that is “wrong” is where we live.

Cuz to act as if Drake didn’t make the soundtrack of our lives for the last 15 years is so diabolical. Comical, even. It’s one thing to not like him—cool, but to lie and deny to this extent? Y’all are a very special breed. This year taught me A LOT. 😭

QUESTION, I’M CURIOUS:
Do you guys still wash your panty in the shower or do you throw it straight in the laundry? Or do you wash it in the shower, let it hang dry AND THEN throw it in the laundry…?
(If this question confuses you, you’re not the “you guys” I’m speaking to.)

I was today years old when I found out my baby sister (20) who is 6’1 HATES when people ask her to stand beside them to compare their heights. She actually hates when ppl talk about her height & I’m so mad she feels a way about it bc she’s so flipping gorgeous. Help me tell her??

This is one of those things that shows YOU CARE about your clients & you also listen to their needs. It shows you don’t see them as JUST a dollar sign. I rate her for that. By next year, I wanna see this option (which I’m sure I will) on all the booking linksssss. Good in her. 👏🏾

BW in the West, that is. I really feel like the prob is that most men out here are financially unwell & were not raised by men who were providers. So they have no true examples of what providing looks like & have never seen first hand a man go to lengths to take care of his own.
