There is nothing more powerful than speaking over yourself. We create our own universe with our words and it’s important to speak life into ourselves especially during the times we live in. In previous posts, I’ve talked about how to I stay happy in tough situations (see post here) and many of you resonated with this. I also shared how I maintain an attitude of gratitude in this post here especially when life isn’t turning out as planned. To that end, I’ve put together 5 positive black girl affirmations that you can say to yourself as you start your day or when you feel your faith wavering.
It’s important to remember that no situation is permanent. Social distancing can cause us to feel a level of isolation that can leave us feeling hopeless. We shouldn’t allow these emotions to take over. So, Im sharing these affirmations as reminders that we are more than what is happening around us! We will make it past these times – just hold on!
I’m Binja, an African based healthcare IT consultant by day and an #Africancocktail at all times! Who is an #Africancocktail? Allow me to explain: I’m half Congolese (DRC) and half Kenyan (hella African) – that along with the fact that I’ve grown up in five countries on three continents has contributed to my being an amalgamation of cultures (or in my case a cocktail). Yes, I’m one of those ‘third culture kids’ who sounds British but speaks Swahili and French with an American accent. So yes folks – I’m an #Africancocktail!
