"I Know Why The Brotha' Did It" | A Nappy Life Poem

📖To read aloud🗣️

You've been hovering around my house,

I, minding my business on the couch,

Like an annoying fly, just wanna hit it...

I KNOW WHY THE BROTHA' DID IT...

You see, recently on the TV

Like an episode from BET

On a white man's award show,

Will WISHED he'd hid it...

But I know why the brotha did it...

Because just like Mr. Rock that day,

With his stupid laugh and spray-on toupee,

Mister you got ONE MORE TIME,

To push my limits..

Yo, I KNOW why the brotha did it...

You see, my wife used to have a friend...

Who fancied himself a comedian,

Speaking on my wife's name,

Under belts he did hit...

Shit... I KNOW why the brotha did it!!!

And for years I've been the bigger man,

Just held my tongue and my wife's hand,

Until you took this shit to Twitter,

And I FELT WHY my brotha' did it...

They say actions speak louder than words,

What about the ACTION of speaking words absurd?

When over the years can you speak "bitch shit"

And expect a brotha NOT to get hit?

So... My brotha' understand.

I'm from the old school, I'm a classic man...

And if you come for mine, you're bound to get it...

And you would rather Will Smith did it...

LOVE Letters | He Is My HERO | How To Find Your Soulmate

I had the pleasure of engaging in a very spiritual conversation with an older lady friend of mine... (For purposes of anonymity; we will call her Beth) Miss Beth was in her 60s, but didn't look a day over 50 and was quite an inspiring woman... Like many other women of her generation; Miss Beth had ONE lover... ONE husband... She’d been married for 30 some-odd years... She was quite the christian, god-fearing woman... The kind that would give to a beggar on the street... She took in many children from abusive and neglectful families... (Truly Miss Beth, I will see you in Heaven one day sister... For God DEFINITELY has a place for you in his kingdom...) More than anything... I remember most how she was still VERY much in love with her husband... I’d thought it the most romantic and beautiful thing I have ever seen; as I reflect on her saying to me... "He is my Hero" Smiling.... ————————————————————— Now, as beautiful as this stor...

Interracial Relationships | Cooking MATTERS

Push play to listen to the audio-blog I've always been a 💣💥BOMB💥💣 cook. By my own record and my family's, I am probably one of the best cooks in my family. (Although my younger brother, Justin - The Professional Sous Chef - would beg to differ...) Nonetheless, I never thought I would EVER have a complaint about my cooking. And then I started dating black men... 👋 Hey Fam-lei 👋 Lady XO here! And THIS topic in relationships is almost NEVER spoken about in any blog I've read or podcast I have listened to. I want to FIRST say, NO... This is NOT going to be a post about my recipes... (although if you'd like any, I'm all for exchanging some 👉happywifenappylife@gmail.com) THIS is a post about compatibility and why cooking does matter when you're thinking of being in an interracial relationship. I explain... Cooking can be just as intimate of an expression of love as a hug can be at times. It's that warm feeling you get when som...

Girl, This Thing is WORK!

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Day to day, we will clock in and clock out begrudgingly to a job that pays us less than we deserve... We do it faithfully... It's called going to WORK. Hey fam-lei!!! Lady XO here! 👋 I know we've all heard the unromantic saying that "marriage is work" but have you ever REALLY it thought about it like a duty? It's our DUTY to strive to be good spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, etc. But do you WORK on your relationships? Think about it... We will smile in the faces of our @$$hole co-workers and listen to every word our bosses tell us; and for most of us... We do it WITHOUT hesitation or argumentation. Because we VALUE our job and want to keep it! But... Then we go home and think all of our WORK is done... As if the title you hold at your job is the ONLY hat you wear... But no... We have families and relationships outside of our jobs that take a considerable amount more WORK than our 9-5's and ...
