This hit home so hard, sis! I’m good at many things but my passion is what I’m going after and reading this gave me even more fuel to push forward. Thank you!!!
This was such a great read, per usual, Qubilah! Thank you for sharing! I was just getting ready to journal for the day and now need to ask myself “how are my dreams doing?”
It really hit hard for me because of a reason you may not think—I wasn’t the quintessential black girl magic ✨ person at all. When people would wonder why I was so withdrawn, shy and well average I would feel inadequate and insecure in my abilities. There isn’t one way to be a black woman and I think you embodied that in your article.
you're tapping into something here.... I have always wanted to live in my PURPOSE, but I think setting the intention to follow my DREAMS makes more sense. I truly believe that your purpose will show up when you follow your dreams. thank you for this....🫶🏽
You're welcome! It's like, living in your purpose isn't an inherently problematic thing, but when that purpose is tied to giving your all to other causes while putting your own wants and desires on the back burner, I do think that is a problem. Black women (and Black people as a whole) are givers. That's cool, but we must tend to our own gardens too. This world takes too much from us. It's time to stop giving it away so freely.

Love that this resonates! It’s a new way of thinking especially since we’ve been conditioned to chase purpose so much. Rooting for you!!

Thank you!
You’re welcome! I evangelize about your work and message whenever I can!
This is excellent! Running to read your Medium article "Black Girl Magic is Dead" 🏃🏾♀️
Thank you Christine. I’m glad my thoughts resonated with you. I would love to hear what you think about my other essay when you get a moment!

There really isn’t just *one* way to be a Black girl. We get so boxed in and it’s suffocating. Here’s to us breaking free of all of that!
I needed this one today.

Agreed !
So good!! I definitely felt this and needed this message 💕
I’m glad it resonates! Especially with the way things are going in the world, I feel like Black women must keep dreaming and pursue those dreams!
