 going through some of our own, I want deaths in our family and us having traversed trials and tribulations and having real conversations that needed to be had. As a black woman, I am thoroughly way more, I feel like equipped and confident in my ability to overcome. Like, I think that we, I know, we always strong black women, right? And I'm trying to get away from even saying that and owning that, but you can. You will never be able to get away from being a strong black woman and owning that and realizing that that's just who we are. As women, from the beginning, we would talk to survive, to pick up the pieces, and I hate to say this this way, but when some men run, come home, and they're fragile, they don't know what to do, it was always looked upon the woman to do the cleaning, to do the nurturing, to do the surviving, to figure it out. He brought the bacon home, but hell, you had to figure out what to do with the bacon. Because he expected you to be able to pay the bills, raise your children, to make sure they got an education, to cook the food, to wash the clothes. I mean, we had to wear. It was like, all you had to do was go to work and get the money. That was such an easy job. Well, hey, but we as black women had to earn some time. Raising children alone is a lot. Hell, raising children, every woman, raising children was the hardest thing in my life that I've ever done. You know, I've had to endure some shit. Raising children, and if any of you black women out there, every black woman out there will agree with me, and I'm sure you will. Or every mom. Let me back it up. I was gonna say every mom out there, I'm sure you will agree with me. Raising children is the hardest damn job there is in the world. You don't come with a damn manual. I got to figure shit out. None of you are the same. I've got two different kids. One's gonna give me hell. The other was gonna be sweet, mild and manner. I was sweet and mild and manner, wasn't I? Bagged the hell up. No. Well, we both gave you hell, but in different hills. You see my point? You see my point. At different times, and they were nine years apart.
