Life and death are in the power of the tongue. What you say is what you focus on.

Hi everyone! Long time…kinda. I decided to take the month of March off. That meant I wasn’t going to post on kianamorgan.com for the entire month. I wasn’t going to do anything related to this site unless I wanted to. Not because of deadlines. Not because I want people to read my work. But honestly, because I had an idea. I took this break for three reasons: Get real rest (because your girl was TIYUD). Think about what I wanted to write. Become organized.

So this has been on my heart and mind for a while. And I saved it just for this month. A white woman used the word “ghetto” at my job and it rubbed me the wrong way. I feel like instead of going off on her and losing my job, I decided to use it as a teaching moment for myself and for society as a whole. I decided not to teach her because I, a black woman, am not a rehabilitation center for racists or people who use the same language as racists. I am not going to put myself in a situation where I am yelling into the void because my ego told me to. I am not the person who will try to fix all the white people in the world who don’t understand. The fact that the white people around her said nothing, shows exactly where she is at. When God releases me to act or speak, only then will I do so. So listen to hear what I WOULD have told that white woman/child of God (trying to be better than what she was to me).

Hi everyone. I believe that after we set boundaries with people, there is still more work to do. I believe we continue to hold people hostage and replay who they are or who they were they hurt us. We don’t see them as people. We see them as the mistake. And I think that is where grace comes in. Listen to the audio below to get a better understanding. And I have a couple of announcements at the end.
