“Defining a Sistah’s self-worth” ~ Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

depression

When we’ve been hurt and disappointed, we automatically lock ourselves in a box for protection, shunning out those parts of our-lives that are susceptible to be hurt again. We swear off relationships and throw away any chance of true love and fidelity as a reality. We’ll allow one huge mistake, regret or experience to determine our destiny in life going forward.

But isn’t it sad to stop living and believing all because you give consent to your past to manipulate and define your future? 

I know many women who have settled for less, and simply “accepted” the cards dealt because deep down inside, they don’t believe they deserve more. I’m sure you know of someone who seems to have it all together in their life, but when it comes to relationships, they just can’t seem to shake the hurt they’ve been dealt in the past or seem to repeat over and over again.

Don’t you feel you deserve the best your purpose has to offer in every aspect of your life? And that includes love and the right relationships.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss “Defining a Sistah’s self-worth“.

Baby Mama Drama, Blog talk radio, Conversations Of A Sistah, Tracy L. Bell

“He’s just my baby daddy” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Too many men are satisfied with fathering the child without the commitment of marriage, making this a modern-day trend. And too many women are willing to play cow-tow and assisting in this role. 

Then he becomes the father of your child, whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved. Yet he’s no longer involved with you, that is, if the two of you were ever really involved at all.

He’s moved on as guys always do and now he has that new title for the rest of his life as being your baby daddy. A term applied to those fathers of illegitimate children, children born outside of a married union.

He’s not your boyfriend or your husband, or even really your friend; he’s just the father of your child. The man whom you chose to co-parent this role with you, a sperm donor who took part in a clone. 

The term baby daddy is ghettoized and the only thing you can call him because you’re not in a relationship with him.

Now comes the drama with your baby’s mama; she has all the rights and control over your kid/kids, you’re on child support because you just wouldn’t aid in the financial support for your kid, the fights are never-ending and the lists goes on.  

Are these your issues and is this your story? 

Join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah“ via “Conversations Live” as I discuss how to keep the baby mama and daddy drama at bay.

Controversy, Conversations Of A Sistah, The "N" word, Tracy L. Bell

Slang -or- Slurred, the use of the “N” Word…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Celebrity chef and cook, Paula Deen is in hot water for the use of the “N” word in a derogatory manner and recently Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, Riley Cooper used the “N” word as a racial slur at a country music concert. Both celebrities have been punished for using the word nigger; Deen has been since fired from the Food Network and Riley has been suspended and ordered to seek counseling.  

Yet when “Pookie and Pokey” from around the way refer to their homeys as “their nigga’s” the inception of this word become their terms of endearment.  My question to you: where’s the distinction?

In discussion I’m told, the use of the “N” word heavily depends on the context or perspective with which the word is used. When the majority of individuals feel, the use of the word Nigger was and still is; a word of disrespect.

My uncles use the word, my brothers use the word, some of my male friends use the word and a lot of the comments that I read in the “comments section” of this blog are riddled with the word. 

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss the “N” word – nigga verses nigger. Is this a hypocritical distinction from the African American race? And is the word still disrespectful?

I will be taking your calls, questions and comments on this subject, so call me on air at 1-347-426-3645 and press “1” to speak to the host.

Conversations Of A Sistah, George Zimmerman, Law and order, Not guilty verdict, Tracy L. Bell, Trayvon Martin

“Not Guilty” So why is God being blamed? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

George Zimmerman (right), a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, said he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.

Since the “not guilty” verdict of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin, the media has been abuzz with all kinds of outlandish and racist rhetoric regarding the outcome of the case. One Ivy League religious studies professor even called God a white racist in the wake of Zimmerman’s acquittal.

The questions being asked to me on and offline is, where does God stand in all of this? Why has God turned his back on this tragic situation? People are searching for answers and can’t understand why God has allowed such an injustice act to prevail.

Join me live on the air tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I address God’s position concerning this matter.
