SG Presents: The Black Code

SG Presents: The Black Code - Panel Series

Great Day SG Peeps,

I'm sure you've all been wondering, why my typically vocal self has been so quiet about all of the things that are going on in our nation pertaining to our people. I decided to create a space to talk about our issues from everything from race relations to internalized conflict and frustrations with our people. So that's why I've decided to host a moderate new series called The Black Code.

The first one is regarding race relations and intersectionality in the workplace. If you're wondering why I chose this one first, allow me to explain. As a person of color, most of us have experienced a certain level of discomfort within the workplace. Be it sexual harassment, elitism, or racial undertones. Unfortunately, the workplace, is where we spend the majority of our time.

This panel was set up to navigate through those experiences and to hopefully garner some understanding on how to enact change and move forward within our daily lives. Put it this way, have you ever queued up your streaming device to watch a Black Panther Documentary on Sunday, and decided not to because you had to go to work the next day? YEAH... this is why we need this panel.

The panelists are amazing, so amazing that I could not wait to share with you some things about them. Each panelist was selected based on their field of expertise because I believe their insight will be perfect for this discussion. Check them out! The panel is TOMORROW streaming LIVE on Facebook via my page.

See you tomorrow! XOXO - Capt Sista Gurl - Laura Miller

The Mary Jane Syndrome

The Mary Jane Syndrome By Kesia King Being labeled a "strong black woman" used to be a badge of honor. A "strong black woman" takes on every battle life throws her way, while smiling with all thirty-two teeth, wearing 6 inch heels, a brief case on her shoulder, a baby bottle in her right hand a spatula in her left while on the phone listening to someone else's problems, when deep down she knows that she's actually the one that needs to be laying on somebody's couch, airing it all out! It's funny because a couple weeks ago when I threw this particular outfit on, I was dealing with some internal struggles myself. Now, add in my homemade, bone straight wig, red shoes and matching red clutch, when I looked in the mirror I immediately felt like Mary Jane Paul, from Being Mary Jane! I can relate to Mary Jane, because on the outside, she always looks like she has it together. If you've watched the show on BET, you know when she walks into a roo...

Ladies, Make Him Act Right! (From a man's perspective)

So ladies, we have a tendency to get advice from women about MEN far more than we should. So I have a special treat today. We're going to get some advice on how to entice, encourage, and exalt a man from you guested it.. A MAN. I picked one, who speaks with the sole purpose to educate. So some of his language may be a bit harder than you're used to but.. you will not be disappointed. Capt SistaGurl Out! Introducing Tikko Brohey Ladies do you feel like “dudes ain’t shit” or “dudes don’t act right?” Have you ever thought about the things you do that contribute to that? The answer is probably not. Now granted there are dudes out there who just ain’t shit, and that’s just what it is. Majority of men are good men. But his partner can often determine just how good he'll actually be. Every woman deserves to be treated like a queen, as every man deserves to be treated like a king. The disconnect comes from when there’s an argument all the King and Queen shit is out t...
