Table 4 One

I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute. - Dr. Maya Angelou   Sometimes you have to show people that they are appreciated... To let them know that what they are doing, their presence, input and support are all noticed... I love writing down my thoughts and sharing them with my followers.   Table for One could not exist without you!   So for those of you who have read only one post... Those of you who have read every single entry... And everyone in between, I truly love and appreciate you for all of your support! To my friends... Maria, Ashley A., Sheena, and last but not least Brandi I love you!!! I talked to all of you about Table for One when it was just an idea... and all of you told me to GO FOR IT!!! I'm super grateful for your support, honesty and encouragement because without you I would've never had the guts to do this!! So thanks! Thanks to my family, who reads my blog weekly (even

Last, but not least Brandi S. Allen has given the table her take! I am really into this conversation and I hope you all are too! Strong, beautiful, God-fearing women! Single, engaged, married... WHATEVER! We have a voice and I am happy that we are able to voice it! Check her out!! Soooooo, where do I begin???   There are several opinions of why there are so many single black women in the world, but none as controversial as the article this blog post is centered around… The Black Church: How Black Churches Keep African American Women Single and Lonely.   As I began reading this extremely generalizing and stereotypical article, I started feeling “some kinda way”.   Some statements I agree with, but most are simply angering.   I must admit, the author has a few valid points, but her delivery is offensive, clouded and very matter-of-fact.   Deborrah Cooper blames “da passta”, for delivering GOD’S WORD to Black women and brainwashing them into waiting for their husbands.   She in

We are still having the discussion on the this very opinionated article I read a few weeks ago. I feel that its important that strong Black women not only discuss these outrageous stereotypes this writer has attached to us, but to give our opinions validity.  Michele Mosley has given us her opinion and I'm sure you'll enjoy what she has to say.  By the way, feel free to join the discussion in the comments section! Thanks http://survivingdating.com/black-churches-how-black-churches-keep-african-american-women-single-and-alone I must say that after reading the article, “The Black Church: How Black Churches Keep African American Women Single and Lonely”, I was truly shocked by what I read. The author, who has clearly not been an active part of a black church, or the right black church is so misguided; what a shame! I am not just saying that because I was raised in church or because I met my fiancé in church, but because during this article she states that we are taught by our

As I mentioned previously I have asked some fellow writers to voice their opinion on the strongly opinionated article that I spoke of last week. http://survivingdating.com/black-churches-how-black-churches-keep-african-american-women-single-and-alone Here’s what Nakita Jackson had to say! As a black woman and preacher’s kid I was thoroughly offended by every preconceived notion in this article. Truth be told, the only fact in the whole article was the video she was bashing…the rest was the ravings of one very bitter woman. I don’t have blind unwavering faith in black men or the black church, first of all that goes against the word of God. The word obviously states (had she bothered to open a bible) that you are to put your faith in no man and entity only God. Psalms 146:3 - Put not your trust in princes, or in the son of man, in whom there is no help. So it’s not the black woman sitting in church every Sunday that is being brainwashed and placated, it’s the ones reading this
