Don’t Hate On the Next Woman - “I’m Your Sista, Why Are You Acting Like That”?

This particular topic was a little difficult for me to write for two reasons. The first, I didn't want to repeat the same things you've heard before and second, although we know bringing each other down is wrong, there is a slight possibility we may slip and do it again.

So instead I have a couple of questions I want you to ask yourself

1) Why am I using my energy to hate on this woman?
2) What is she doing that's making me hate on her?

Before you answer these questions, I want you to read Maya Angelou's definition of a hater:
"A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough!"

In my past lecture, I discussed checking yourself and admitting your faults. So when you see a woman and you're about to put on that mean face to fix your mouth to say something negative, I want you to STOP. Before you say "What's up with her" I want you to say "What's up with me?" That woman you're about to hate on could be YOU.

I'd like to end my lecture with something one of my Spiritual sisters sent me and I keep it close to my heart. Women are carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build and encourage each other as did Ruth and Naomi. Who are we to judge each other? They judge Mary Magdalene and by the time Jesus was done with her, she was his closest follower.

Women, putting each other down will not make you feel better about yourself.

Be Well!!
