5 Brands That Love, Support, and Respect Black Women
Being a black woman in this world is a beautiful thing. However, the hardships that come with having brown skin come in many forms. For instance, finding foundation can be a hassle because not a lot of brands on the market cater to brown skin tones. Going to a yoga class can make a black woman feel inferior because she may feel out of her element if she's the only woman of color in the room. As black women, we need support systems. This includes having the right businesses that care about us. Luckily, there are plenty these days. Here are five brands that truly love, support, and respect black women:
Hey ladies! Here is a playlist to help you feel more luxurious. Here is a mix of classic tunes and modern ones. It is a blend of jazz, hip-hop, funk, and R&B. Each track suited to remind you how valuable you are. You work hard for your money, you deserve to splurge a little on yourself. It doesn’t matter how much you make. It’s about knowing your worth and you know you are worthy of feeling like a million bucks! Happy listening!
It’s about time for the sisters to make themselves their priority. Women are consummate caregivers and they are known to put their needs on the back burner. While it’s awesome to show so much love and concern for others, it’s extremely important to have that same love and care for yourself. If you are like many, making the commitment to yourself could be a challenge, but trust that it will be totally worth it.
The Benefits of Saying "No" and Creating Boundaries
“No” is a complete sentence. N-O-Period. These two letters pack a powerful punch. For countless women, the inability to say ‘no’ results in fatigue and other complex outcomes. Early on in our childhood, we’re taught unrealistic expectations for how girls should behave. Over time, these well-meaning principles, which were instilled in us, spiral into incessant people-pleasing. Why is it so easy to cater to the needs of others while our own needs and deepest desires go unfulfilled? One answer is our inability to communicate boundaries in our personal and professional lives.
Big Props to Me! How Being Your Own Cheerleader Helps You Grow
Ever watched a championship basketball or football game? Picture this: It’s the last quarter, a few seconds are left on the clock, the cheerleaders are screaming, your heart is pumping and you’re feeling the adrenaline. Cheerleaders are the heartbeat of those final seconds. They are the life of the game. They pump up the crowd and confuse the opposition. They clap, stomp, and chant their teams to victories and after the victory they leap into praise mode. Well, we all deserve that kind of support, and it starts within.
