By: Lanisha PorterThis is written with those religious girls in mind. I too belong to this category. When you are raised in the church you are reared up in the world with an extremely sensitive conscience. You are taught what’s right and what’s wrong; what’s blessed and what is not; what is holy and what is secular; what is good and what is bad. To have a conscience simply means to be with knowledge--con meaning “with” and science meaning “knowledge”. So when you are religious you often cross-reference your actions and decisions with knowledge gained from the church. Therefore, when you do something that has been historically reinforced as being bad, in the eyes of the church, the guilt and shame can eat you alive. Many young women in the church have strayed at times from what is good and hold themselves hostage to their mistakes. Well, I want to talk about that. I want to write to you today and tell you to forgive yourself, girl. Lets talk shall we?

by: Lanisha PorterWhen I say sister, it’s not an affiliation that treads out of my mouth lightly. When I crown a bond to mirror that of a sistership, it means I select to commit myself to the obligations, and efforts needed to keep that woman up. Growing up, from the absence of not having any sisters, it had always been my dream to have that bond in my lifetime. To substitute that void, I started adopting my friends as sisters. Sometimes those bonds worked, but sometimes they fell short of what I had imagined a sister to be. In each disappointment I faced, I made sure that I was being to someone else the sister I always wanted someone to be to me. |
