(ThySistas.com) “Becoming” was an amazing book that so many were able to connect to. As Former First Lady Michelle Obama shared her life with us, the readers, we gained wisdom and strength from her. One thing I appreciated about “Becoming” was Michelle Obama was real with us. I wasn’t sure what to expect from “The Light We Carry’, but I anticipated a deeper realness and I feel that was...

(ThySistas.com) I admit there are certain times of the year whereby the anxiety and depression is gripping. I would wake in the morning pondering how I will manage to put one foot in front the other. Over time I have come to realize, though I love and cherish my family, sometimes a spouse or children isn’t enough to shake the feeling. Far too often I was told to do what’s needed for my kids or...

(ThySistas.com) Family is a very important dynamic, and this dynamic can shape who we are for better or for worse. There can be lots of love and loyalty, as well as pain and betrayal. It is hard at times to understand the layers that make a family fall apart, or what would pit siblings against one another. Children can come from the same parents and handle trauma in a different way that appear to injure... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) I saw a post on Instagram recently of a brutha dancing in church, to a wonderful rendition of “For Every Mountain”. It was moving to me, and though the footwork was on point, it just seemed like he might have been releasing some burdens. Not to long after I saw that post there was another of an Elder and this sista was in a praise dance space and you could tell she was praying with... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) I love my hair. It is apart of what makes me who I am. It is break comb thick, long, and has its own unique color that I simply adore. My hair has been relaxed, and I transitioned to it being natural in 2016. Going natural made me realize that I loved the outcome of my hair but I never liked the process. Living with a hair stylist that specialized in hair care and growth has it’s... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) Life happens to us and in some cases it scars us in a way that leaves the experience etched into the brain. Those experiences have the power to shape our perspective, and the circles we’d run in or avoid. How people are seen becomes tainted regardless of how intelligent, cool, or spiritual we are. There can be an understanding that the bias is unfair, but we can’t see past them.... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) Many of us have heard the phrase “cleanliness is next to Godliness”. It was one of the “nonbiblical” scriptures use to drive home the point that everything about us needed to be clean. Life happens in so many ways that everything around us can be thrown into disarray. Sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day to keep everything in order. I remember growing... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) The only thing in this life that we can control is self. You’ve heard this before at some point in your life. When we thing of control in terms of controlling another person, some of us will think of men. However, sistahs too many of us want to control too much, even if the intention is good. Then there are times, to be honest the intention is far from good, and you might not always... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) Hip-Hop is going through a lot at the moment. Every time we look up, it seems, there is another reason to say R.I.P., we’re shaking our heads because we don’t know what Ye is going to say next for those that still pay attention, and no it seems Drake wants to diss sistahs in his passive aggressive way. While all of this is vexing on levels, may I draw your attention to the last... [Read more of this review]

(ThySistas.com) Every single human being is entitled to their feelings about any given matter. These feelings can be positive, negative, or indifferent. Feelings can be warnings, and sometimes they can be a defense mechanism that enable us in the worse way. It is very important that we not only understand our feelings, but learn how to navigate them. Feelings unchecked can harm others, and create... [Read more of this review]
