Its Mid-Day, you're at work and your tummy is doing summer salts. No, you aren't hungry and you weren't drinking last night. However someone uninvited is coming to pay you a visit... yup, you guessed it; AUNT FLOW! She's not one of my favorite aunties either but she normally visits at least once a month and for some the visit isn't too bad but for others it can be a nightmare. On top of the cramps, feeling and looking bloated, the pimples appearing everywhere and the crappy attitude others have to deal its just a lot! It's that time of month when you tell your home girl to "check you" while you walk in front of her and she makes sure those new white pants you were so brave enough to wear are still white. It's that time of month when you sneeze and it feels like you just plunged into a swimming pool. As women, no one likes to talk about that time of the month, but I think it's time that we do.

“If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise? Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence- yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences.” ― Lauryn Hill

Everybody wants to be a feminist until it's time to stand up for the black girl. Which is why I choose to disassociate myself from the movement and curate my own. No, I'm not marching with you. Yes, I'm offended and the color of my skin is quite obvious so I know you see color.
