Hey Miss Understood

I wouldn't watch this video if you're at work or with your kids or having tea with your grandma...unless your grandma is as dope as mine!
Mmmmm...A. Lupe Fiasco is probably my favorite artist. He talks about real issues and seems to have a real concern for people and their well being. Dude is legit! AND B. I'm a bit concerned about bringing a little girl into a world where being called a bitch is an insult and a complement with the only difference being who it comes from. A wonderful woman said, "All comparisons are odious. Vulgarity is vulgarity...and if you mean to demean a person, to make her or him less than whole and anybody could say it, you could say it from a robot and it means that this person is not worthy of my concern." That woman is Dr. Maya Angelou (of course).


 One of our most important jobs as parents and parents of a little girl is to be sure that she knows who she is. She needs to know that to find her identity, she needs to search and adventure through the words of her creator. That is where she will find out just who Tsoli Rose is. She will find in the words of the one who loves her most that she is made in the image of God (Gen. 1:27) and that can't be anything but wonderful, she is clothed in strength and dignity (Prov. 31:25), she is a lily among thorns (Song of Songs 2:2). So, in knowing the truth of these things, to be called a bitch or anything that goes against what her maker says about her will be outside of reality. There won't even be a reason to get upset or a need to defend because those things will be so far from the truth that they just seem silly. I know the day will come when someone will tell her she looks like a hotdog or whatever the kids will say and I will have to remind her that her maker says she is fearfully and wonderfully made. And just as a reminder to you...YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE! That is all.
