Embracing Your Voice: A Message of Authenticity and Self-Acceptance for Labor Day Weekend

Hey, guys. How you doing? I’m someone good. How are you doing? I’m doing good, baby. Thank you for asking. How y’all doing? Happy Saturday. You know what that means? Weekend vibes. So, what y’all got going on this weekend? It’s a Labor Day weekend, baby. It really is. And you got that three day weekend, period. I don’t, actually. She sure do. And do, and do. Lucky bitch. Anyway, what y’all doing for Labor Day weekend? Y’all cooking? Is this similar to like, um, 4th of July? Cause, you know, I don’t know, but, you know, black people be cooking when it’s a three day weekend. Not just black people. White people, Spanish people, everybody. And they. Mama, I’m sure everybody be cooking. But we’re not cooking. We’re not cooking. Do you know how to cook? I’ll be throwing down some chicken wings. You already know you do. The question is, do you know how to cook? You know, you. I have to put me out there like that. But you. I have to put me out there. But. When was the last time you called? I know how to grill. She know how to microwave. That’s what she know how to do, girl, go. Anyways, um, I wanted to say something right quick. Wait, but before you do. Sorry to catch you. That’s okay. You do it all the time. It’s raining, y’all. Who else love the rain? I like the rain. Real life. So I gotta wash away when I smile. See? Smile at me. Smile. All of those rainy days. It’s not rolling. His deep voice. I love it. But I’m glad. I wanted to say something that resonated with my spirit, and I believe it resonated with yours, too. You know, in life, you really have to find your voice, and when you find your voice, use it to the fullest. Embrace it, and just literally own it. For a long time, I didn’t like my voice. I remember at a young age, I used to say to myself, I hate the way I talk, and I will put on a front when I’m in public speaking of people. I will try to, you know, put some bass or deep in my voice. Same, because that’s how bad it was. Because I want it to please people, I guess, like, I just was, like, embarrassed with the way I spoke, and not gonna lie, I felt like there’s something in my throat. I sound like I’m congested or something. It was many things, but then I got to the point where I embraced it, and that’s, like, with me, um, and back. So what he was saying, I feel like we had asthma at a young age. I don’t know if that played an effect, but who knows? And not to mention, when I was 14 or 13, I got hit with a baseball. I, we used to play, um, baseball in the backyard, so your ass Was catching the ball with your nose. I’ll never forget. No, um, he popped up the ball in the air. And this was in the summertime. That sun was so bright, I didn’t even see the ball. And the ball just went. Oh! And to this day, I never got my nose, like, really checked. I went to the, um, emergency cause we was. I was bleeding. Sorry for laughing. I got hit in the face with the ball to my eye. We were some adventurous kids, but we used to play sports. Sporty Spice. That’s what it’s given. I remember, um, thinking to like, why do we sound like this? Why do we talk like this? And I used to hate the way I talk, but now, as you get older, you realize this is the voice that god gave me, so I have to embrace it. Why should I put on just to please society? Exactly. And I feel like if god gave us this voice and it’s unique, and if anybody unique, if anybody. I was just about to say, if anybody, like, say any hateful things or anything, I’m gonna just simply respond by saying, Alexa, play Alien Superstar by Beyonce. Unique. Cause this is what makes us unique. Like, it’s different. And why do. I don’t get why people feel like, you know, you have to talk this way or that way. Everybody is different. Not everybody is gonna sound the same. You know, society. Um, because of society, people want you to be a man. Like, you have to be masculine. You gotta have some type of attitude, demeanor of, um, a masculine guy. And it’s like, no, god made everyone different for a reason. So I’m gonna choose to be different, and I’m gonna embrace my different personality, my voice. So there’s no rules or manual to be this way. Like, who says you have to be a certain way to be who you are? That’s why I’m like, you are who you are, and live your life the best way you can, make the most of it and just be you at the end of the day. Because who are you living for? Somebody else or you? That part. So y’all let us know in the comments how y’all doing, what y’all doing for Labor Day weekend, and if anybody could relate, it doesn’t have to be your voice, but something that made you you. But we just want this message to be heard that, you know what? At the end of the day, who cares what people think? Use our voice. Be you. And we hope you have a great, beautiful Labor Day weekend. Bye, guys.
