Men Don’t Like Nice Girls?

I’ve always heard the statement in the reverse, “Women don’t like nice guys.” I’ve always known this to be untrue. Usually it’s some man who gets rejected by women for a more masculine man saying this. In general, women are more attracted to masculine men as men are more attracted to feminine women. I heard…

I don’t like talking about my experiences often because they are uncomfortable, but my earliest experiences were sexual coercion. You know, the experiences where you say no a million times, express boundaries, someone pushes past your boundaries or works to manipulate you into pushing physical boundaries? Yeah, those were my experiences. I didn’t want to…

Sis, He Ain’t Marrying You!

I like calling everybody sis. I already have four sisters, but as I’ve embraced my own womanhood, I’ve been appreciating sisterhood more. So sis, we need to have a conversation.
