About Me
Where exactly do I start?!? You see, I am that young Black woman, mother, sister, daughter, niece, grand-daughter, friend and confidant. At the age of twenty-six (26), I have not accomplished what I've set forth to accomplish in life. However, I have attained a great deal of wisdom, both educationally and socially. In my 26 years, I have encountered a considerably large amount of fantastic people, people who are either on my level or above. I have been used, abused, defamed and glorified in ineffable ways. Nonetheless, I am here to speak about it and there's no better feeling than to live to speak about your trials and tribulations AND of course... TRIUMPH. Through experience, I've come to the understanding that not every smile is a smile, not every apparent good gesture is that. Nevertheless, I've never allowed my pass experiences to intervene with how I go about meeting, greeting and accepting others in my life. I am an extremely outgoing person, very confident in myself and those around me. I believe in each hand washing another. Thus, I make it my business to render advice as much as I can. I make it my business to have as much empathy on others as I can, for the rewards for my good deeds come from GOD and not MAN. I welcome everyone with an open arm and mind. I am not an unilateral-thinking person in any shape or form, although I can be quite aggressive. At times, I startle myself, not to mention the many who have and still doubt who I am and what I am about. With aging comes wisdom. Hence, I am now at the point where I can separate myself from negativity, without holding animosity, hatred or hostility. Let me tell you this though, it wasn't an easy path to take. It took me re-evaluating myself, questioning my decisions, being honest to myself and those around me. Again, it didn't come easy, yet I've made it. No-one is without flaw(s) so please, don't ridicule yourself. Allowing yourself to get in touch with YOU is one of the most replenishing thing one can ever do for one's self; trust me on this one. In life, and this is what I've learned through experience as well, not everyone will like/love me. Therefore, it is my job to love myself. Afterall, if I demonstrate insecurity in myself, I will only prejudge, discriminate and assassinate others, others who might be helping hands to me. I made mention of being intellectually inclined above and I need to touch that subject a little before closing!! Education is not going to school and obtaining a degree. Rather, it's having school go through you and you being able to retain useful information that will assist you in your every day life and discarding those that are futile. As a consequence, I never felt intimidated by a MASTERS or Ph.D degree holder; knowing I have an Associates degree and persuing my B.A.. Education isn't about competition when around your peers. Instead, as aforementioned, it is about informing the uninformed so that propaganda can somehow become a thing of the past as far as you're concerned. I love me and every COMPONENT of Trudi. I do not know any other way to go about perceiving myself. The wide nose that complements my wide hips-LOVE IT! The apple bottom that goes well with the pot belly-ADORE IT! The thick lips that harmonize my face-SPEECHLESS! I say all of the above to say this... It doesn't matter who you are, you are a star in someone's eyes and unless you see it for yourself, no-one else will... BEAUTIFUL MIND~~~~~
