Does anyone here struggle with anger? Not anger management, but past trauma or emotional build up, that later just makes you feel like an angry black woman? I feel like it’s where the stereotype comes from being aggressive or why lower class women have attitudes, we’ve been through so much, keep it all inside because there’s barely any support for us. I hate that as I grow I’m becoming more of that type of woman.

Sending a virtual hug. Do you have access to quality therapy through your insurance? Do you have a solid group of friends dealing with the same thing that you can talk to? I joined Well-Read Black Girl in LA and having other black women to talk to has been helpful.

I used to! But I went to therapy, and changed my circle which is a massive support. I’m in a healthy relationship.

You have to talk it out with yourself and others, learn to understand how and why you’re feeling that way, and actively work to fix and change things.

Unfortunately when people hurt us. It is our responsibility to heal ourselves. Which sucks. But there is support. There’s so many black women open to love you. You just have to find your tribe. The girlies that hype you up, hold you accountable and love you fiercely.

It exist. Sending you healing and loving energy for the journey ahead!

I have struggled with this. It’s geared towards black men. I remain single because I haven’t gone to a specialist to help me locate the underlying cause. I personally believe it’s has something to do with either my father or older brother. More so my older brother than my father.

Hey Boschlers,

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.
