- “As a little girl, a woman is groomed to become a wife and a mother. She is trained to always make wise decisions, yet there will forever be limits and boundaries. As I look back, I remember being told what I could and could not do, simply because I was a girl.A little girl is told she cannot act like a boy; if she does, she will be classified as a “tomboy”. Climbing trees was prohibited, instead, she was taught to put a baby doll in a stroller and take the doll for a walk. She couldn’t sit as she pleased; she was told to only sit with her ankles crossed.Girls were given a kitchen playset that was equipped with a stove, sink, and an accessory set of play food dishes, pots, and pans, etc., along with a tea set to bring out the “elegance” in them. As the saying goes, “Girls are sugar and spice, and everything nice.”I’m taken aback by how girls are groomed to be a certain way; however, boys are able to love life and live freely without limitations and criticism.” ― Charlena E. Jackson, A Woman’s Love Is Never Good Enough

Not you.”One by one we took a chance to speak up, but our voices weren’t heard. They tried to make us feel threatened; as if we were going to lay down and be stepped on like shit on the bottom on their shoe. We interrupted their comfort zone and showed them their time was up!” ― Charlena E. Jackson, A Woman’s Love Is Never Good Enough
- Avoid the false path. A false path in life is generally something we are attracted to for the wrong reasons — money, fame, attention, and so on. Robert Greene

What others fail to realize is that a woman might not always know what lies ahead of her, but she will always find a way to get through it.When she hits the ground, she will bounce right back up. The road may twist and turn; there will be a few steep hills and sharp curves, but she will never give up because she is unstoppable.” ― Charlena E. Jackson, A Woman’s Love Is Never Good Enough

Are you doing everything to the best of your ability?” ― Sope Agbelusi

Oh, yes ma’am you have everything they want. And it starts with who you are as a person. They want to be you.They want your strength.They want your courage.They want your confidence.They want your stride.And they want your joy.” ― Charlena E. Jackson, A Woman’s Love Is Never Good Enough
