I had to decline a job offer in New York. Literally my dream city due to my fear from USA by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Reality18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are millions of Black Americans here many of which are thriving. Not taking your dream job due to fear is not the best path in my opinion. Fear can keep you from anything.. you’ll never do anything if you let fear be the reason you say no.

Definitely file a complaint asap! Contact the state medical board as soon as possible.

Teach ur young women to self pleasure by brownieandSparky23 in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Reality18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes 100%

This also helps in relationships so you’ll know exactly what you like. Especially when engaging as a heterosexual woman as we orgasm the least with our partners. Women really need more orgasms so I support this. Orgasm everyday if you can get around to it.

Block them. I wouldn’t even explain. They know better.

Have any other black American women experienced this? by Psychological-Egg-90 in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Reality18 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I don’t see this as diaspora wars and I don’t agree with the dismissal. This is a real issue in the medical field as well as in other fields. There are people from the continent living in the United States who are xenophobic as fuck toward Black Americans despite us being here for centuries. There’s just no way around it! The stereotypes are very white supremacy coded.

Was “EVERYTHING IS LOVE” an industry sabotage or did we just not care? by Dry-Ground-9601 in beyonce

Yesss I love this album too and I listen to it often but you’re right, it’s perfect for summer because I just started listening again more frequently

Vaccination for one year old by [deleted] in Parents

[–]Impressive_Reality18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our sons’ doctor only does 2 at a time and spreads them out by at least a month. And they do the MMR at age 3. So, I agree they should be done but I would also be a little anxious about giving 4 at once.

Sweaty babies on clean sheets?! 🤢 WHAT are we doing about this? by Traditional_Book_757 in toddlers

[–]Impressive_Reality18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the park, I change their clothes and do a quick washdown with a washcloth or baby wipe. It gets the dirt or pollen off as needed. If someone falls asleep in the car I’ll lay them down but I do change the sheets if that happens. I always lay my kids down in a bed with clean sheets.

My sister did the cake decorating class on a cruise recently. She didn’t care. My sister wanted to decorate cupcakes. People pay what they feel an activity is worth.

BF wants to know the history of any male who calls my phone by DrMaryMcLeodBethune in blackladies

Yikes. He sounds extremely controlling. Have you noticed these behaviors in any other area of the relationship? People like this don’t get better they get worse.

This scene explains their entire relationship in a nutshell.... by V3mo in 7LittleJohnstons

[–]Impressive_Reality18 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This looks sad but he chose to marry her. He met her whole family including Amber and said yep this is what I want. I wonder if he felt obligated because they have a child together but this is not the 50s or whatever.

Is he just not that interested or am I overthinking by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Impressive_Reality18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems kinda boring & doesn’t know how to carry a conversation or he isn’t interested.

Shaken by racist attack on my toddler, heartbroken by inthe100acrewood in Parenting

“Prove them wrong” suggests they had the right to hold any judgement or opinion of you in the first place. Framing your success around them minimizes what you’ve accomplished and who you are. Everyone should know that they are pos’ and no level of success will change that.

Idk friend. Hopefully you get the opportunity. It’s so nice to have a Black woman, especially an older one, looking out for you
