Caribbean Woman in the Bay

About Me

I'm a good woman. That says it all when you think about it ...Be good to me (this is a must tho) and I'll be good to you.

p.s. I'm not trying to "hook up" with random people. If you have something interesting to say, you're doing something interesting in life, you want to network or share something, then communicate with me. Please no "holla at yo nigga" type messages.

I like this quote:

"People are bombarded with stereotypical images and so they are limited in their ability to imagine our capacity." Kamala Harris

"We only want a chance to Live." Buju Banton

Why can't men respect women?

Why is it so hard for men treat women with honor the way they honor their codes for their friends and homies?  Why is it so hard for men to respect women the way they respect men?  Even thei...
