I am bitch and all that come before me

 I am committing to finishing bell hooks this week, I want to start Giovani's Room by James Baldwin. So I am reading bell hooks and it according to me that while I have heard and understood what 'self actualized' means I only know it by my context clues  definition  and not the textbook definition.   Self actualized: means realizing and fulfilling your unique potential, creative abilities and your personal desires. (Coined by Kurt G.) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a conceptualization of needs  that motivate human behavior. I needed to write this definition because I wanted to talk about what I am reading and I did not want to discuss without knowing what I am talking about.    "Young women want to embrace the "hard bitch" image because it keeps them from having to confront the pain that comes when females are pain that comes when females are punished for choosing to be self-actualized and successful."  What we do think, are we embracing...

I think that is it for now. I have been reading a new book. Salvation: Black People and Love by bell hooks. I am wanting to get more into sociology and philosophy books. I am going to start reading more about black feminism and how I can become a better advocate for myself and others in this white country. I think that is it for tonight, thanks for listening.

P.S. I saw a sunset that moved me today but chose to let the moment be and not take a picture. I am still keeping my word and looking up and noticing. <3 see you tmmrw.
