Cocoa Ninja Warrior Queen
I actually really like this shirt y'all. I know it's extra, but still! I mean...is it wrong to finnallyyy feel so happy to be who I am?
Why is this blatant expression of it seen as offensive? ...I won't raise my fist if it's scares you.
Straight up, I don't want to hit you. Or anyone--mostly. 😂
I know I don't war against the flesh and blood of my human brothers but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness in this world:
Against spiritual wickedness in high places 👹
it's not about white people against black people or poor against rich or straight against gay...it's against--
the deliberate and surgical division of a people based on fear tactics DRIVEN by the 24/7 trash we're force fed on the news and social media. It's the intentional poisoning of an ENTIRE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY. It's the criminalization & sexualization & dehumanization of POC.
All for profit and control. 💰
(Now y'all know I'm not saying it's wrong to blessed and have money!(Proverbs 10:22) $tack. Chee$e.)
Our is fight is against laws and our beloved (no sarcasm, promise!) law enforcement officials rightfully instituted and employed to "keep order" and "keep us ALL safe" but--wrongfully, the majority of people held to the law are people of color (and are dealt MUCH harsher punishments) and...
law enforcement officers are above the law altogether.
um. That's "wickedness in high places" and I peep that 👀
Because I am a Black woman (married to a Black man & raising our Black daughter) and the people of my culture are disproportionally objectified, abused, and targeted I cannot help but recognize these issues miiight be a lit and burning fuse heading towards our country's next major impending radical racial chaotic boom.
Just stating facts as I know them to be true.
I digress. Despite all that, truthfully, I hear more instruction from God about how I can make a lasting change in prayer than from the mouths of activists who believe their strength lies within their own hands. &Being a part of a successful team is all about knowing YOUR ROLE. Know how YOU can pitch in to help accomplish the common goal of spreading self love, creating awareness about injustices happening right under our noses, establishing a nurturing community for all people, and maintaining an environment where EVERYONE is safe.
yeah that sounds like dream, huh?
God made me BLACK like the gap of knowledge I would have had about the authority my people possess...had I not dared to LEARN.
He made me knowing full well what I would face.
and guess what?!
GOD CHOSE TO MAKE ME A COCOA NINJA WARRIOR QUEEN 😝 he knew I would war to the end.
Thanks be to God who always causes me to triumph. It's not my job to save the world alone, but I can DISCUSS the issues within it, & I can DO MY PART in improving and enriching the the World and each person I come across. And love you no matter what.
shining like a city on a hill
