We’re not doing it that way anymore.

Oh, this is what my generation did. And? With all due respect, why would I want to be stuck back then and not live for this time right now?

Ancestor wisdom—yes. These things, along with other tools from then, propel us forward in our growth and relationship with the divine.

But all that other fear-based stuff that is heavily pushed on us? We’re not doing that anymore.

We will live freely and wholly. We will show up as our true, authentic selves.

We won’t tolerate carrying shame anymore. It’s okay for us to heal. Life isn’t supposed to always be a struggle. We are allowed to say no. After all, no is a complete sentence.

We no longer have to explain ourselves about why we refuse to stay stuck in unhappy jobs, relationships, motherhood, and all the things that come with being a woman today—especially Black women.

We won’t be begging anymore. We won’t be silent anymore. We will stand in our fullness.

We will no longer demand. We will sit in our divine feminine and allow flow.

We’re allowed to be soft. We’re allowed to require more of ourselves and others.

So no, we won’t be doing it like they did back in the day. We will respectfully do it our way.
