3. Engage and Challenge on Hot Topics Sista’s are a of a conspiracy to keep a brotha down Do African American men think it’s important to preserve the culture or is it even real to them . If I make more money than my man, how often and in how many ways do I have to apologize If I make less than my woman, how often and how many ways do I have to apologize How long do I wait for the “right man” when I’m ready to have children now…” Sistas need to know when to dial it down … Are African American Men & African American Women on Different Paths… Michael Moore Andre Stokes Roy Johnson Maco L. Faniel
4. The Question You Don’t Ask Could Hold the Answer Someone Needs to Hear What the @!? is a six figure man? Is that like a Thousandaire… Man, if you hadn’t heard you were married, I would never have known… What’s the point? Brothas don’t seem to have the sista’s backs. What’s your definition of a good woman. She cooks, cleans, has a 26” waist line, makes good money, has good credit, owns her home, drives a beamer, never talks back, gives back massages, blah, blah,blah… Truthfully? There is nothing like a Godly confident brotha.
5. The Question You Don’t Ask Could Hold the Answer Someone Needs to Hear Let me get this straight, your money is your money and my money is your money… It’s a little “late in the day” to say what you want out of this relationship. Didn’t you know up front? So you’re saying you never knew he was a trifflin’, porn surfing, strip joint hoppin’, womanizing, down low momma’s boy... If that’s the case, I got this secret talkin’ cow worth millions that might interest you…” Okay, what part of your behavior says that you want to be respected? Truthfully? There is nothing like a spiritual confident sista.
