Where My Ladies At?

Okay so this is becomming a frequent issue and a matter that I'm feeling bold enough to address. Something that has struck me as quite disturbing if you will. There is no doubt that this year has brought us new movements in the political, technological, and entertainment aspects of our nation. However I am feeling a sense of confusion being sent to the youth, especially our young women. Just a week ago I dedicated my time into focusing on this matter and I observed a few females who I will identify as Subjuect A, B,C, and D. And boy was I blown away from what I had discovered. Subject A is a quiet girl, very pretty. However she has no ambition. Now I know you're probably thinking, "How can you detirmine such a strong thesis Mocha?" But seriously it was clearly obvious. She was only fifiteen but if you held a conversation with her you could easily conclude that she had no goals and nothing pushing her to do so. Now subject B, on the other hand may have had a stronger mind set, but it wasn't for the right reasons. She was merely focused on a boy who had been already involved. Subject C was a nice girl as well. However her vocabulary was attrocious. We are all guilty of ebonics and text talk, but she had took it to a whole new dimension. Subject D had to be by far my favorite. She didn't engage in what the others did, she was very focused very respectful and well mannered. I was indeed impressed by her.

Now there are several different directions we can point the blame, but today I'm pointing at the media, I'm pointing at some celebrities, and I am pointing at ourselves. There is never a day that goes by when I'm on myspace or facebook and I don't see something inspired by an artist. Of course the greatest sensation sweeping these young females right now would have to be accredited to Nicki Minaj. Nowadays everyone is throwing Minaj, or Lewinski after their first name. Now there is nothing wrong with doing this however alot of our younger girls aren't receiving the right message. And this is breaking my heart. We have to many females who are sitting around wanting things to happen, instead of getting out and making them happen. Nicki Minaj displays the ideal of not only this but also of homosexuality, drugs, and fast cash. Things that look fun and sound appeasing, but in reality don't get you very far. What happened to girls growing up wanting to be doctor's, nurses and teachers? Where are my future lawyers who will bring justice and serve to our economy in corporate fields? This is why I am detirmined to speak out. It breaks my heart to see girls selling their dreams to be less in life simply because it looks fun. Ladies there is more to life then this. They see these video girls dressing scandalously and it appeals to them as sexy. Someone needs to teach them that you can be professional, you can apply yourself, and still be sexy. There is nothing wrong with being different, by all means flaunt your originality. There is more to life than getting high and drinking. I'm not saying don't ever do them, but make sure you don't let it defeat you. Being bad doesn't mean that you should define yourself in its literal aspect. Any woman who works hard and is doing something positive with herself can be bad. Most importantly we need to stop making excuses and prepare ourselves for the real world.

To my readers, It is vital that you undertand I am not throwing shade towards Nicki Minaj or such the sort. I just need you to understand your role in our society. We not only owe it to ourselves but to the several women who fought hard for us to have these rights. At one point women didn't have the privelages that they have today. We need to utilize this freedom by making the best out of our lives with it. That's why when I establish myself I am going to start an organization dedicated to young females. As defined on the online dictionary lady means a woman who is polite and well spoken, or a woman of high social position or economic class. So with that I ask these young females : Where My Ladies At? Who will help me carry the torch into our next generation. Who will be the light in the eye of young girls to come. Surely I cant do it alone. This is why admire stars like Diana Ross, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, and India Arie. They are all sexy wise hard working women. They are familiar with the struggle and found ways to overcome that. I'll end this by asking my girls one more time. Where My Ladies At?
