They Were Not Her Friends...

 

Miss Higgi Says:

Can we please stop calling those monsters that killed our Sistah in Mexico her "friends"? They were not Shanquella Robinson's friends as are we on social media who put the pressure on refusing to let mainstream media and law enforcement ignore the death, potential murder, or missing status, of yet another Black Woman. 

Her traveling companions were parading as her friends. They were clearly envious of her, her success, her beauty, her personality. Something... but they were not her friends. 

Friends are not jealous of you. Friends fix your crown when it is tilted. Friends cheer for you. Certainly, they do not beat and  murder you...

If people in your life are not cheering you on or if you suspect that they envy you even just a little, get rid of them! Protect yourself. Remove them from your circle... 

Love And Miss Her Still...

It just occurred to me today would be my Mother's 81st birthday. I have lived more years without her but the years I lived with her were the most rich and rewarding...

Value those who love you. Love them back richly, deeply, unconditionally, and unapologetically. Give them their roses above ground. 

Happy Birthday Mommy! I Love and Miss You Still...

What to The Party is Herschel Walker?

Although scribed and spoken nearly 140 years ago, the words below of the late and great Frederick Douglass seem so appropriate as we consider the reported closeness of the Senate race in Georgia between two Black men, an admittedly inexperienced former football player, Herschel Walker and incumbent Senator, Raphael Warnock.

Read the excerpt below and consider what is happening in Georgia and ask yourself why, how is it, that still, it is applicable today. Was Frederick Douglass psychic or have hearts and minds remained unchanged? Hmmm...

Pass it on, especially to your friends in Georgia.

Though the colored man is no longer subject to barter and sale, he is surrounded by an adverse settlement which fetters all his movements.

In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress.

If he comes in ignorance, rags and wretchedness he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome; but if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence.

In one case he may provoke contempt and derision, but in the other he is an affront to pride and provokes malice.”
