It has been my experience that over the years my circle of acquaintances have gotten smaller and smaller. I am always amazed that African-American women do not relate to one another as we should, but instead we are envious and hateful towards one another. We knock each other down instead of build each other up! I continue to ask myself WHY? When I see another African-American woman walking towards me or coming off the elevator I am about to enter, more than often she will turn her head away instead of speaking, again I ask WHY? We should all take a moment to examine ourselves and if we are participating in this type of behavior we need to stop it right away and learn to celebrate our sister and we should embrace the queen in each other. We should elevate ourselves out of hater range; you know you’re doing something right if you have some haters in your life!
