The west village article brings up something that I’ve seen happening in both NY and LA, these people are here in these cities on a pit stop for content before they move back to their hometown to start families. They contribute nothing and don’t plan on being in the community.

Reaching out to my community to help me find a therapist for a Black male friend that lives in Dallas, TX. Any suggestions?

You cannot be a “rich auntie” with no community ties to children. “Auntie” ain’t just an aesthetic — it is a title. An honored one! Auntie has a definition, both real and cultural. Aunties and Uncs are community pillars. That man ain’t an auntie, he’s an island to himself.

The Black Church makes to much money off the people to not work as financial institution for the people.
Granny tithed 10% of her income every Sunday for 50 years but died dependent on Social Security. Now her family has to pay to have the funeral at the church she paid off.
Happy Easter😘👵🏾👵🏿
