What constitutes a bad bitch? Seeing as I've never been one, I had to ask around. The answers that I got were disturbing. I learned, among many things, that bad bitches stay fly (in the streets); keep a few somebodies on retainer and live their lives loud, proud and unconcerned (about their reputations). She handles her own shit and don't need a man to take care of her. She takes care of her kids and them sorry ass baby daddies can keep on moving cause she gots this!
This behooved me; she's fly in the streets? Only in the streets? Not saying that you have to be Dorothy Dandridge/Marilyn Monroe at home, but if somebody did a drop by/pop up, are you and your home relatively on point? And while bragging on your "take care of your own" status, clear up the "somebodies" on retainer concept. If they are your main source of rent/light bill, you might want to rethink your bad bitch status - and as far as your kids, I won't touch that, I know y'all are sensitive about your kids.
Here's an idea, though - with the rise of the Boss Babes, Princesses, Goddesses and Queens, maybe it might be time to jump ship and join the ranks of the new tribes? Otherwise, may I suggest you take several seats and watch the continuous rise of these sisters and wave as they go by.
These women are also loud and proud, but it's their success that makes so much noise that taking notice of them is not optional. You don't find them singing their own praises, because the fame of them precedes them. There's a tribe of other Queens, Princesses, Goddesses and Boss Babes rolling out red carpets and dropping flowers at their feet. They can't pat themselves on the back because they are too busy wrapping other women in love and encouragement.
These Alpha Females are off dominating boardrooms. Like Ms. Cardi B, off making Money Moves - from stripper to $8M, 2017 - present. Queen Bey herself, regulating Beyhives near and far, to the tune of $355M (that's before combining change purses with Hov - creating over $1.25B! Titles earned. If that scope is too much to grasp let's toss in a fictional character for good measure: Bella Swan caused arch enemy creatures to coexist in harmony.
My Bad Bitch sisters, it's time. Stop taking income tax photos of your fly 46-inch lace fronts and new swap meet outfits, next to that new 52 inch screen with Spiderman sheets/curtains adorning your windows and the mattress on the floor, you are so much more than that! Stretch out of your UN-comfortable zone, come into the safety of the women who have discovered REAL POWER. They are going to embrace you, love you, teach you. They will help you discover the Babe sitting dormant inside of you waiting for her opportunity to impact the world.
Be your best you and SHINE and be GREAT.
