It separates our consciousness and ability to prosperous as a unit. It detaches us from responsibility and cause resentment among one another. Disrespecting what is suppose to become our better halves only leads us in the direction of mental, social, and economical poverty.
The Poverty Road Map: Involves occurrences or harsh situations dealing with one or more of the following: Lack of Unity, Child Support, Incarceration, Increase in the use of Birth Control, Disposition of Head of House-Hold, Self discrimination, Decrease in Financial Equality, Lack of Motivation, Increase use of drugs to hide the pain, and an overall decrease in Self Value/Worth.
It's important to value our strengths and our ability to thrive. It's never a good idea to live in the past, but it is also true that you should not forget the past in order to not repeat the mistakes of the past. The truth has been a disenfranchised element of the America's evolution since Christopher Columbus falsely claimed it as his discovery.
Although, no one is perfect under God, it is truly our responsibility to heal ourselves from the social toxins that have been forced upon us. Anyone with a soul, can determine right from wrong. Our women are important...however ladies, You should know the same for your men. They are already few in numbers, the good ones at least. It is not the responsibility of men to make a change alone. Like any relationship, project, or venture...it takes a collective effort to reach success.
The Women Empowerment Movement is succeeding and will continue to grow. I remember thinking while in high school why weren't there as many outreach programs for young men. Today, statistic show 80% of new black business are founded by women and not black men. Statistics show that black women are out numbering their male counterpart in educational pursuits, job security and more.
It is my recommendation that we should consider the following:
- Support positive movements in your community
- Become responsible for your Action, Thoughts, and Spoken Words
- Clean your mind of anything that lower your inhibitions
- Stop wasting your money on things with no true value
- Learn about owning your own business
- Attend self empowerment seminars
- Stop wasting time on those your are not compatible with.
- Enjoy your life
- Travel your state, then the world to broaden your mind
- Get involved
- Learn yourself, get a life coach and or mentor
- Stop disrespecting one another
- Develop a family code of ethics
