The Beauty of Melanie a Celebration of SISTARhood(Malkia Benzy)

Today my The Beauty of Melanie a Celebration of SISTARhood is Malkia Benzy! Malkia and I met on Facebook on her page about Melanated People w/Loc's. We hit it off right away. Not sure how the topic got on children,however once we started taking about our Sun's...lol it was a wrap!


Her love for her Sun is beYOUitful to see,he is truly a gift. He continues to be the  drive she needs to keep moving forward. He spirit is so beYOUitful and rare. Malkia and I have had many inbox conversations about our goals,plans and the future. With it ALWAYS boiling down to how it will affect our Sun's. So through heartaches,pains, ups and downs, leaving a legacy for our Sun's is essential,and a price we're willing to pay no matter the cost.

Another thing that I've be impressed with is her pride of self,and her desire to keep educating herself. That's why the picture I used in my opinion wraps up everything that represents Malkia. So blessed our paths cross Ma. I can't wait for your blog,and cooking channel.

So keep rising and striving Ma! Even when the roads are endless,and bumpy,shake it off and keep on moving. The most important person in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD is, your Sun. From you he will know and understand what a REAL woman looks and acts like. Hang in the Malkia,your doing an AMAZING job! Plus Best is Yet to Come! Light,Love,and Shalom!

The Beauty of Melanie a Celebration of SISTARhood(Alisha Butterflygoddess White)

Today my The Beauty of Melanie a Celebration of SISTARhood is Alisha Butterflygoddess White. Butterfly and I met in a Vegan Group ran by another one of my Facebook friends,who is now family Darrin . The topic of the day was Vegans and Sex.

There was some very interesting takes on it,however Butterfly's comments stood out to me,as not only educational, but laced with experience and knowledge of what she was talking about. While most was just shooting off at the mouth...lol,Butterfly's comments,and replies were very sound.

So I sent her a friend request. We talked through inbox often, sharing advice,hopes, hurts,and dreams,as they say the rest is a BEYOUITFUL history. We've been going STRONG every since, and that was about two years ago. I've seen the AMAZING transformation in Butterfly, and happy to say in a small way I've touch her life,just like she has mines.

Facebook is not all cheating,hustling,lying and make believe......lol,I've made some truly lasting relationships on here Butterfly and I are one of them. So keeping rising Butterfly, showing love,receiving love,and healing the masses. Your work is not in vain,you and your ministry, is definitely needed for such a time as this! I'm PROUD of you my friend,you are truly blessed with a the gift of healing. Love ya Moma,and let's continue to take this health thang by storm.

Her mission is to bring healthy babies into the world,by fighting for rights of Black and Brown people. Tru is working hard along with other's to change laws so that every Black or Brown person that decides to have hospital births are treated with respect. However that's not all. Tru also is an advocate for Homeschooling our Melanated Babies and is one of the founding members of the Kansas City Black Homeschool right here in KC.

Tru Justice is a REAL KC trailblazer,fighting for the rights of melanated people. She has put her actions into words, and is making BIG changes in our city. Tru has let NOTHING or no one stop her from doing what needs to be done to  make sure our birthing, hospital stays breastfeeding,etc,are equal to the experiences that our counterparts often enjoy with success and support,and no stress.

Tru Justice I salute you and pray that you continue to have the strength to endure, any and every one of the challenges ahead. Keep shining and rising Sister-friend,light,love,and shalom!

My Spirit Twin(as we affectionately call each other is the essence of a Melanated Superwoman. Your ministry has touched so many lives in such a positive way. I thank Abba Yah daily for allowing our paths to cross. I salute you sistar-friend!!!
