And she said she'd rather be a Btch than a mouse, and that is where they adopted their name from. And so they have this lip gloss blurand called Btch Sticks. Well, one of the ladies that joined us, the place we dined at was in a shopping center. So while we were waiting to be seated, she went to walk around the shopping center, and she came across this little shop that was selling this lip gloss

You can also link them with myself, her Sisu, or Healing Journey Content. Because, listen, one component that is a common thread for most survivors is that initial period of shock, dismay, disappointment, fear, you don't know where to turn or who to talk to is real. And most enter into the space of isolation, most enter into the space of isolation and they don't know what to do
I don't think there's any organizations that actually support men that are victims. I really don't. And will they get any funding, like an organization for women? You don't need to answer that question. That is very rhetorical. The answer is probably no. So things have to change in this society. Yes, we want women to speak out, but we also want men to speak out if they've been victim of abuse as well
But you can 100% rely on God and he will always get you through difficult times, even if it's abuse like you've mentioned here, physically, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, anxiety, that's the key. And unfortunately, if you do not believe in God, well then you're just going to keep on suffering internally, if that's what's going on. And you really should give it a try

And at the end of the day, I believe survivors, whether it's of slavery, domestic violence, or any other American atrocity, because we have many to be good old America, have the right to decide how they want to or not want to use a word, how they collectively want to abolish a word or not abolish a word. It's about the country's healing journey and individual healing journeys and populations of healing journeys

And yes, my business, even though it's titled her, see, the her, because I am a her, supports survivors of domestic violence who are women, who are men, who are people who identify as female, or people who identify as men. The resources I have are equal opportunity resources. I do some events that are catered to women or people who identify as female

I've now transitioned to that too, because I'm all about what's happening in the now, being very present, and I don't want to talk about what I can do. That's more future tense. I'm walking in a space of power because God is in me, right? And so, because God is in me and in all of us, I now say with utmost respect I do all things through Christ, who gives me strength
Whether or not it started there or not, what it represents now is sexualized. So not because something meant something ages ago means that it means the same thing today. Affirmative action is a perfect example. It was needed back when slavery was the law of the land, and it was used in the correct way. But in present tense, it is not used in the correct way. Whether or not the history was meant for something back then, it does not reflect what it was meant for

A lot of people get insulted by the word b****, but think about most of the people of most of the women who get called a b****. They're usually very self assured, or they don't usually take nonsense or mistreatment, and usually they have a dominating presence or whatever it might be, and they might just be very assertive, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. So I agree with you with everything that you just said

As we stand here, as I talk here, and I'm not an idiot. I've been around the world and back, and I know what's good and know what's bad. So don't try to tell me that because, oh, man, women are self assured, so they could be called to be. Don't bother them. The problem with this society, I don't know your age group I don't know if you're a millennial

Like you say how the Swell cast resonates with you, or what it reacted for you, and then you move forward. So with that being said, thank you for taking a listen to this well cast and enjoying the delivery and sharing based on your perspective and your lived experiences and your understanding how it resonates with you and your thoughts on it. And you are correct. Thank you for remembering that I am a SAGITTARIUS. I know it might react to the world differently

That is supremacy, whether it's patriarchal, based in color, like white supremacy, or anything else. What I know for a fact is that you imposing your beliefs on someone else is a part of tyranny, right? That is what it is. So I would just challenge everyone to sit with, to think about, to wrestle with
