An unpopular opinion but as a married stay at home mom, it's so hard to make friends with single black women (at least in my area). All the single women I try to become friends with either make eyes at my husband, or are into the party/clubbing/going out scene. I have no problem with the latter, but that's not where I'm at in my life. Where can I meet other black women with kids? I live in the bay area.

Does your job provide any type of exercise stipend or incentive? If I worked somewhere with a program like this maybe I'd finally be able to get in shape 😭. I've been trying to set my alarm and get up to walk before work, but nine times out of ten I snooze it and go back to bed for the extra 30 minutes. How do you stay active with a busy work schedule?

Like what is the angry discourse about?? Why can a woman not be hot, Black, 50+, with no kids, without people trying to tear her down or claim she's looking for male attention? I personally want a family but if it's not in God's plan for me I hope I end up just like Tracey Ellis Ross. She's a baddie in my book.

You know this weirdly makes me feel better. Even Simone Biles has to deal with random people making unwanted comments about her hair - while she becomes the most decorated Olympic gymnast in history. I guess I can deal with these rich white folks asking about my braids for the rest of the summer. Have you ever had someone at work comment on your hair?
