Black Women Are Supreme! Black women are SUPREME! Black women are SUPREME! Black women are SUPREME! Black women are SUPREME! Black women are SUPREME! Black women are SUPREME! Literally and figuratively…… I can say this a million times and it still wouldn’t be enough! BLACK WOMEN ARE SUPREME! I hope by now everyone knows the name, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson! President Biden nominated Judge Jackson for the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land! Judge Jackson is the first Black Woman to be nominated in the court’s 233-year history! TRANSLATION: A BLACK WOMAN HAS BEEN NOMINATED TO THE HIGHEST COURT! Her hearing confirmations began yesterday and I have been tuned in. A woman that looks...

Waiting In It to Walking In It There’s a post being reshared on Facebook that states, “At any moment God can shift you from waiting on it, to walking in it.” When I saw the post it instantly resonated with my entire being, because literally this time last year I was waiting in it & today I am walking in it. By the time I share this blog it will be 3/14/2022. I launched Successful Black Girl last year, 5/26/2021, on my 30th birthday. During that time I was “waiting” and I had been waiting since November 2020 and I had been feeling uncomfortable since May 2020.  Fast forward, on 3/9/2021 I was unexpectedly fired from job my after receiving...

I’m honestly between a rock and a hard place right now and it feels extremely uncomfortable, but this moment I am in is the part that takes place right before the breakthrough.

When I went to Atlanta earlier this month one of the presenters said, “It has to happen or it has to happen!” There is no other outcome.

Being around other successful black girls inspires and pushes me to also become a successful black girl. Attending college and meeting such wonderful women at ULM has been one of greatest influences in my life. I’m not saying you have to attend college or join a sorority to be successful. I do encourage you to find your tribe, circle, support, sisterhood of like women, because birds of a feather flock together and iron definitely sharpens iron.

Dear Whitley, Today is your 30th birthday & you should be incredibly excited & proud of yourself! You’ve encountered a lot and you’ve accomplished a lot. Most importantly, no matter how difficult life became you NEVER gave up. You’ve always been so resilient. I can’t say this enough, you should really be proud of yourself. You should be most proud that you proved so many people wrong. You became the exception to so many statistics. No jail. No drugs. No babies. No complacency. Who would have thought you’d graduate from college; not once, but twice? Who would have thought you’d learn to own a business? You’ve done well finding your way, Whitley. You are the type of woman younger Whitley...
