"I literally begged God to sit on my tongue so that everything I said would be in the absence of anger and arrogance." ~ Phylicia Rashad But in a time of great hatred for Black Women it has truly become difficult. My name is Dearest Price, Racial Justice Network's Regional President, Black Charlotte and Black Line News CEO, Agape Voice Ministries l...

Queen Corine Mack, Char/Meck President of the NAACP

IMG_9361
You'd be surprised at how many times a woman sits in her car, on her bed, in the bathroom, in the living room and quietly cries because she's so stressed...But when she shows her face again she looks perfectly fine, unbothered and she still manages to smile and go about her business like nothing happened...Women are some of the most resilient creat...

Is Affordable Housing Just Politics?

IMG_9300
Is Affordable Housing politics or is it just another joke of the times amongst the “have and have nots”? The numbers are questionable folks, with the outrageous prices for apartments, mortgages are looking like a dream of the past for many. Being “houseless” as advocate Leondra Garrett coins it, is traum...

What You Know Bout Me?

50 Year Old, Black Woman in Charlotte Goes Viral By Dearest PriceAgape VoiceIt was hard enough setting up a GoFund yesterday because I already embarrass my children tremendously with my writing and those are the only human opinions that truly matter to me. It was so hard telling FB that I have been taken advantaged by a Republican candidate, when t...

Can You Please Stop Coming For Us - The Comfort of Attacking Black Women

2EBCDBAE-8B56-4035-A97B-76ECFDCB835F
Many people became a little frustrated with me yesterday at my piece on Will Smith violently attacking Chris Rock at the Oscars, because they didn’t read my piece on Will Smith violently attacking Chris Rock, assuming that I thought it was ok to slap another Black Man. I sort of laughed at how many over looked my writing and went on this ...

Black Woman - Unbossed & Undefined

E55F6DE9-CC22-4FE9-8D89-EB419A86D2FB
I’ve been wanting to write this piece for a long time; especially for my young sisters starting out. This piece is for the ones that are discriminated for wearing their naturals, braids or locks to work, the ones that rock that blond like a rockstar but are labeled for their crown, the ones that adorn their beauty with lashes li...

Dear Dearest, (They don’t like Black girls)

8B5A7737-938F-4B05-BB20-A5E4240B196B
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 ...

When Your Death Becomes More Important Than Your Birth

5635E16E-F2BF-41D5-B415-3B89DB07794A
Breonna Taylor was born on June 5,1994, a birthday in which this once young, vibrant beautiful “sista” should be celebrating. Instead she lies in a grave remembered more by her death than her life. A female George Floyd of sorts with less universal buzz. This is an unfair state of events that this racist nation can’t find justic...

Who you calling a “Bitch”?

A2522435-1D16-424A-9A69-ED1CD2A821A2
Someone told me I wasn't a “bad bitch“ today. They said it to make me feel like I don’t measure up to beautiful women. They said it to call me out on my looks. At first my stupid insecurity set in, like that 17 year old girl that I once was. I thought of Leah in the Bible, coined for her looks and not for her contributions&...

She Made It Possible . . .

ED3C8166-240E-4D11-B75A-553D8A3346EA
One of my proudest moments as a Black Woman in America was to watch a television icon, that didn't look like Rihanna nor have the body of Cardi B. put thousands of Black Men through Morehouse College. Going to an HBCU myself, that meant something. She looked like my Auntie. She had big feet and a wide nose with coarse thick beautiful hair to match....

Say My Name, Say My Name

FCEC0BB8-2F6B-4EC3-9B4C-855F07DA693C
My Protests Are Not Peaceful, They Are Invisible By Dearest PriceCopyright Agape VoiceMy protests are not peaceful because few have said her name, her Blackness kept dying in battle but only he claimed the fame. We can see it, we have rehearsed it, since the beginning of time, and when you called God a "He" it had to completely blow her mind. (Numb...

Dear Dearest,

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...

I Don’t Fool Wit You

835F9A9F-3F66-41BF-8512-11FE6405EA65
As we hit upon a New Year, a new documented season, a new reason to try more, a new journey that's in store. I'm not writing resolutions or creating a list of "to dos", I rather write my last piece of 12 reasons of why I don't fool with you. I learned in January clowns in the circus can't be reformed with big smiles across their faces yet pulling y...

Countering that . . . By - Link

1E007D85-0F35-4862-9F34-E65E0BF30FBB
Dearest, I respect your writing skills more than you could know but when it's wasted trying to influence opinion rather than uplift or educate I get offended. The black mind is a shattered glass and while we are picking up the pieces we don't need our leaders being criticized by the very people he's trying to lead. It's not defending Jay Z as much ...
