This has been so wonderful… I changed around my phone settings to limit the brain 🧠 rot and distraction of social media, and I got to tune in to your writings. Always so humorous, reflective, affirming, and challenging at the same time. What a meaningful “scroll”. Your book 📖 will do well. Thank you for your transparency and sharing your craft. 🤌🏾🌻✨👩🏿‍🌾👩🏿‍🍳🤸🏾🫐🥝

Your post made me so angry!! It took me right back to growing up in my neighbourhood as a teenager. The daily harassment I got from men...

Just as you said, not smiling enough and then you're smiling too much, or you think you're too nice.

Or you're a lesbian.

They were so Intrusive and still are.

You are right that men need to step up to stop this, but alas they do not...They just turn away.

It is exhausting and it is what comes with being a woman in this world and having to put up with all that s*it!! Relentless sexual harassment!!

Let's hope they pipe down and go and crawl back under the rock and you can live your ife in peace. 💫🙏🏽

Thanks Louise, yes it’s so draining to navigate, some days more than others. I also think about what it would be like if I were walking around with a female partner. So much harassment on top of jealousy. But I don’t have to think about that right now. I am just grateful I’ve healed enough to keep predatory men out of my intimate life. 🙏🏾
