2BlackWomen: Recent Episodes
2BlackWomen
2BlackWomen is created by me, Simi Solebo, I am currently a woman awakening her black girl magic as I navigate womanhood. When I was younger I always wanted a black sisterhood, to discuss lives, both the highs and the lows with and so I decided I would create one for all of us. I truly believe there is a new era that deserves some fresh new voices and change makers.

Sis they do not want to be your friend and that is 100% okay but you do not under any circumstance have to give your time and energy to anyone who won't give it back to you.

REST
R-E -S-T
Sis where is all this amazingness coming from a place of burn out or a place of rest. I am not telling you to sleep on your dreams but I am informing you that unless it comes from a place of rest, it will never be as sweet.
REST is the name of the game

Are you doing all the things for the applause of others? What I no one saw what you did? or acknowledged it? How many things in our life are for the approval and validation of others. Could you do it without the applause? A better question would be, would you do it if no one applauded?
So many times it is not even about the tasks at hand but the way you perceive it. If everything is a comparison you will never be content with the place that you are in. Comparison will take everything and leave you with nothing. Choose Joy.
