5 Ways to Educate Yourself Without Going Back to School
One of the most awesome gifts that life gives us is an abundance of opportunities to better ourselves. We all know that we should welcome and embrace every chance to learn. With all of that, when we talk about learning people automatically jump to the assumption that learning can only be done in a classroom with heavy textbooks and a whiteboard full of notes. Nope...that’s totally not true. Learning can happen anywhere! There are so many fantastic ways to further educate yourself and not one of them forces you to go back to school.
These are just some hashtags you’d find trending on social media, and we’re here for them! However, while most of this self love comes from black women, that’s not all that has become a trending topic on your favorite platform. As Black women, we’ve always known that we’re poppin', from our skin, to our hair, to our shape to our entire culture. It’s just taken the rest of society time to catch up. While for us, our culture is a way of life, for others some aspects of our culture seem to be a fad or trending topic to them.
Black girls are truly magical. Our melanin is powerful due to our history of resilience and strength as a people. The world may try really hard to keep black women down but we know we will always rise up again. Somewhere in this world a young black woman may not realize her worth or see herself as beautiful. If this is you, get your headphones ready because this playlist is for you. Below is a list of songs that will help you love the skin you're in. They each celebrate body positivity, black culture, and being a black woman. Being black is a blessing. So kick back or dance your butt off to the following tunes!
5 Brands That Love, Support, and Respect Black Women
Being a black woman in this world is a beautiful thing. However, the hardships that come with having brown skin come in many forms. For instance, finding foundation can be a hassle because not a lot of brands on the market cater to brown skin tones. Going to a yoga class can make a black woman feel inferior because she may feel out of her element if she's the only woman of color in the room. As black women, we need support systems. This includes having the right businesses that care about us. Luckily, there are plenty these days. Here are five brands that truly love, support, and respect black women:
4 Skincare Ingredients for a Fresh, Flawless Face
Everybody wants to look good, but, sometimes, our own skin can be our worst nightmare. Skin can cause us so much stress and make us feel our most vulnerable. It is the first thing that people see and it can be the thing that people remember most about you.You might have an amazing personality, but somebody, thank goodness it won’t everybody, will remember those less than perfect skin moments. However, there is help out there to get, and keep, your skin on track. Truth be told, we aren’t worried about the “haters,” but we still want to feel and look our absolute best.
It’s about time for the sisters to make themselves their priority. Women are consummate caregivers and they are known to put their needs on the back burner. While it’s awesome to show so much love and concern for others, it’s extremely important to have that same love and care for yourself. If you are like many, making the commitment to yourself could be a challenge, but trust that it will be totally worth it.
Big Props to Me! How Being Your Own Cheerleader Helps You Grow
Ever watched a championship basketball or football game? Picture this: It’s the last quarter, a few seconds are left on the clock, the cheerleaders are screaming, your heart is pumping and you’re feeling the adrenaline. Cheerleaders are the heartbeat of those final seconds. They are the life of the game. They pump up the crowd and confuse the opposition. They clap, stomp, and chant their teams to victories and after the victory they leap into praise mode. Well, we all deserve that kind of support, and it starts within.
