Leave the Dramatics for the Actors

Im the type of girl that avoids DRAMA at all costs. I absolutely hate it. but some how, some way it seems to find me.

Im in this class now thats a melting pot of all different types of people. You have your non traditional students, straight outta high school students, black students, white students, hard core rock music lovers, and everything in between. Well, this past month has been a rollercoaster ride for me because im trying to settle into a niche that i dont seem to belong in. Its like tryna put an oval into a circle hole.

bUt anyways... In this clas its like MOST* of the Black/ African American females are straight HOOD. dont get me wrong, Im from the hood, but im not one for tattooing my baby daddy's name smack dab in the middle of my chest, ya feel me? Im very laid back, optimistic, black valley girl type-ah person. Well these females tried to come at me all wreckless and I had to put them in their place- REAL quick. dont talk BS about me behind my back (literally, the seat behind me) and assume you bout to run all over me cuz i dont talk with everyone. im there to get my credentials and get out. im not there to make friends- i got those already. just cuz i articulate my words when speaking with the instructor doesnt mean im weak, or that i think im better than you... blah blah blah. I had to turn around and let chick have it! lol

i simply told her that she doesnt know me or my story and that she needs to stop her ignorant behaviour immediately because its not becoming. and i did it while i was wearing Tims, a hoodie, and bamboo earrings. I may be more educated than more people in this room, but dont undermine my intelligence (or my ghetto girl status for that matter). i can snap my neck and smack my lips with the best of them and have a conversation using words you could only dream of knowing how to pronounce. Lets get it together as Black/ African American/ Minority women and try to uplift each other, NOT pull each other down.

Happy New Year!
Sincerly,
The-Chick-You-Thought-Was-Weak-But-Can-Put-You-In-Your-Place-ASAP
