I Need to Do the "Work, Work, Work, Work, Work"... In the Process I Ended Up In... X

In one of my last post I mentioned that it became clear to me that I needed to do the WORK. Things I
need to do personally, physically, mentally and professionally. Most of this "work" I've been aware that I need to do it and I have known for years, Now I really need to be about my business and make some things happen.

Luckily, I have known for quite sometime my overall life's purpose. I realized around age 17 where I should be and have been in classrooms ever since. I am meant to be in classroom working, educating, and preparing little people for life. Am I perfect at it? NO WAY! But I am passionate and consistent. All may not like me (children and parents included) and may not be able to reach them all but I try. I can with confidence say that over the past 10+ years, I have positively impacted majority of the students and families who have been in my class over the years. I am thankful that I know this purpose in my life. Many people are so fortunate to be doing the work they are called to do.

Over the past year, I feel like I have been given an additional purpose. One more specific to little brown girls. Leaving an environment, where I feel like I had to fight for little brown girls everywhere (okay maybe not everywhere), I realized that I need to make sure that brown girls know how amazingly magical they are. We live in a society where a lot of times we are seen as LESS; less deserving, less beautiful, of less value. And then when we embrace our beauty or stand up for ourselves we are seen as MORE; more angry and aggressive and lashing out. I love Beyoncé's song Formation for the simple fact that she embraces being a little brown girl and in a lot of ways standing up her for herself as well as her daughter. My goal is to make little brown girls feel the way the Blue seems to feel standing in that video. Beyoncé I was already in....

NOTE: I LOVE Beyoncé, don't get me wrong, but I am ALL the way over the Beyoncé debate over her new song and half time performance. And should've unfriend a few Stacies and a few privileged and ignorant people on my timeline but I figured I'd just pray for them and keep telling my story.... so all of you in that category... Dear Heavenly Father, remove the blinders from their eyes and the hate from their heart. Amen. While most of you are complaining go do some "WORK".
