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

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 the

It's Not Love, it's Love Adjacent

It’s my thought that the heart and the mind take turns in sharing authority in how we pattern our personal decisions. They cannot both be in control at the same time, and I believe that there’s a celestial straw pulling to determine which will rule within each given moment. The dangerous part about this is, sometimes when the heart wins, we forget to use our brain . When this happens, we start making decisions that are completely passion driven, hunger driven, and backed behind a receptor that shouldn’t receive as much showtime as it’s getting. Sometimes you fall in love with someone that is all wrong for you. They don’t feed you spiritually, they don’t feed you mentally, and maybe they don’t respect you. But they have ONE or two things on our list, so we keep them around. But by osmosis, all the signs that you saw in the beginning appear a bit less obvious, and now you THINK you love this person. Your heart is in control and your brain is taking a break, your brain has

RAPPER RESET: MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR RAPPERS TO TAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK

By Capt SistaGurl Once upon a time, in the age of a coke-induced Russell Simmons, rap battles were king, LL Cool J wore a Kangol, and the female rappers were fresh and diligently working their way up to the mainstream within the culture. As the years progressed, and Russell said no to drugs, and yes to very young women, the image of the genre changed, but one thing still reigned true. RAPPERS RAPPED their frustrations in the studio and on rare occasions award shows and radio stations. There’s a period in between where rap was aligned to violence and our most popular rappers were at the center of a feud, but let’s leave this out for now because those times were outside of the norm. Except for that one time in the studio, 50 got jumped, Murder Inc got raided, and the beef spilled outside of the booth. But that’s really it, right? Well no, not really, it happened a few more times. BUT PRIMARILY, rappers used their words for a primary pursuit of dominance and it was friendly, and lucrat
