If you are a woman, specifically a woman of color this message is for you!
This is your sign to stand up for yourself!!!!!
In the bedroom. In the boardroom. At the family cookout. Stand up for yourself. You are not a door mat for others to trample over. Show yourself how much you love yourself and stand up for you! You can not be everything to everyone and nothing to yourself.
Love always, Kae 💕

How do we let go of the past, learn to love ourselves, and gain confidence and self esteem even in the face of negativity and cruel, false rumours?
Hi love. I think the most important thing to realize/remember is that most people's cruel words and baseless claims are a reflection of their current emotional state, life stressors, and their own poor self-esteem.
Validate your truth. Use facts to highlight this truth to stand up for yourself in high-stakes circumstances (like with a boss, professor/teacher, sometimes parents, law enforcement tax/governmental agents, etc.).
If it's petty gossip, say as little as possible and just avoid it. Most people who say and spread these rumors are seeking an outspoken response or some sort of emotional degradation on your side. So, the best thing you can do is allow the rumors to fall on deaf ears.
If they persist or genuinely could tarnish your reputation (say for your professional reputation, university, or a job opportunity, etc.) counter their false claims with facts to back up your narrative. Facts over feelings (but actually this time).
Hope this helps xx

I used to have breakdowns and panic attacks at work quite often. Now, it's been more than six months since I had one.
What has changed?
Got rid of self-hate, suicidal thoughts and most of my insecurities.
Saw my colleagues' and employer's real faces when I asked to be moved to a less stressful section (like everyone else in the team do and get what they ask for). Loads of fake promises of training, favouritism, double standards and lack of equal treatment since I requested this. Apparently, I was there to do the job that everyone hated. I was there to do the job alone as they didn't bother to help. Up until 6 months ago I thought this was the rules for everyone (a.k.a everyone had to do the job alone and that everyone had the right to change section). Nope. Rules for them and rules for us.
Whenever I was having breakdowns I was feeling useless. Now I see why I was having breakdowns. It was mainly because I was being bullied and taken advantage of without noticing.
So, my point is: If you have breakdowns at work and, before you call yourself useless because of them, check 1. your mental health and 2. your work environment and the wannabe kind and loving people you work with. Try asking for what others get. Try setting boundaries like others do. You will be surprised by the outcome and see who your friends are.

I hope you take a moment to read and think about this. I hope it moves you to have as much empathy for yourself as you have for others 💛

man the reason I hate school is cus I'm just tryna do my work and these random boys come up to me asking about my sexuality (???) And because I didn't like them (they're that group of guys who obviously make passes at girls and make everyone uncomfortable) and so I told them I was lesbian and they showed me their dick pics???? I almost fucking vomited like bro I do not want to see that shit ☠️😒😒
you know what we do in such situations honey? We slap the phones away follow by a nice quick to the nuts. Then they’ll have no dick to show photos of 🥰

I love watching Spencer James’ growth!
See how he started the episode trying to be his understanding self, like okay for the team? I’ll understand. For the team, I’ll step back. I’ll stay out. Until he saw its effecting the NFL. His agent was like, yeah what’s happening right now is setting you back. You are being your own worst enemy right now not fighting for yourself. And we watched him understand and fight for his future. HE GOT MAD OVER HIS FUTURE! INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM IT! HE FOUGHT FOR IT! I’m so proud of him right now

Have you ever be in the situation like someone making jokes about you and u didn’t reply to them and didn’t stand up for urself but laugh with them or be quite?
And i really regret i didn’t stand up for myself even though it was before 5 months and i totally regret i didn’t reply to them. Why sometimes i don’t reply please any tips how to deal with this
Act dumb, and ask the person: "What did you mean by that?" or "I didn't quite catch that, can you repeat what you just said? I want to make sure I'm understanding you clearly."
These types of assertive communication usually make people backtrack and refrain from making comments like this in the future as they know you're not giving them the emotional reaction they desire at that moment (slash they know you're onto them).
Hope this helps xx
