Dear Dearest, (They don’t like Black girls)
Dear Dearest, My daughter is a beautiful, chocolate, 18 year old whose personality just glows. But she recently told me that she never had a boy talk to her and that most boys she knows just don’t like Black girls. I asked her what she meant and she told me most Black boys are not attracted to Black girls unless they ...
Dear Dearest
Dear Dearest, My husband can’t respond to me without being verbally abusive. He humiliates me in public and private. He yells at me in front of our children like I am a child. He is so mean. We have children from different partners but he is especially cruel in front of his own children. Most of the time it’s over the simplest ...
Dear Dearest, I am 37 years old and like many others, I am consumed with social media, especially FB. According to a phone app, my usual time on exceeds 8 hours a day. That’s more than I work. Posts and comments literary make me sick. I feel like folks are always insinuating something about me. I take and post picture...
Dear Dearest, I found myself in a domestically violent situation. My partner, my ride or die, my pencil (I was his sharpener), has completely loss control of his apparent drug addiction.

Dear Dearest, My man is hard working and loves his kids more than anything on the planet but he is a complete narcissist and has too many children (over 6). He makes posts on social media, which includes everything but me. He will post our house, with him and his kids, our car with him and his kids, even our dinn...
My husband is throwing a temper tantrum because I had dinner with my ex who is leaving for prison for the remainder of his life. I just wanted to apologize for any hurt he caused me and say goodbye. Boy boo, I needed that closure. Cry about it then. #ghettoqueen Dear Ghetto Queen, Sis, what in the Ham Sam, marriage buffoonery you got going on...
Dear Dearest, My family has always been the type to shy away from the conversation of death. But as our parents became older and the passing of our beloved mother, thoughts of insurance crossed my mind. Yet as a single father of 3 I never followed up with it. My brother and sister-in-law approached me about a pol...
Dear Dearest, On my 42nd birthday, I realized I wanted to start dating again. My 22 year old son was on his own and as a school bus driver, I was not putting time into myself like I should. So, me and the girls got dolled up and hit the club scene. It had been almost 20 years for me. That’s where I met an in...
Dear Dearest, My financial situation is in shambles. I have a 12 year old daughter and I was just laid off from a job in Florence, SC. She is ready to go back to school but other than that every thing is falling apart. I don’t even know how I’m going to buy food. My car was reprocessed and I am about to get evicted from my apar...
Dear Dearest, I read your posts everyday and you are truly inspiring. But sometimes you sound so sad. Are you depressed? A faithful follower. Dear “Faithful Follower”, I’m so humbled that you said you are inspired by me. I just want God to use me, so you are inspired by the God in me. Glory!!! That means everythin...
Dear Dearest, I’m from Nashville and I am so excited that Cyntoia Brown has been released from prison after 15 years for murdering her sex trafficker. I have been following this case but to my disappointment, I just read she married someone while in prison. She didn’t even give herself a chance to breathe. I kn...
August 6, 2019 Dear Dearest, Toni Morrison died today. “Sorry” Dear “Sorry”, What a horrible thing for you to say. With two mass shooting, too many bodies to lay. She’s not dead cause words never die. I’m truly messed up, but have no tears to cry. I read all her books, even the ones I didn’t get. I tried to be like her ...
