Wed, 09 Apr

From Default Workspace • No contributors

Description

Michelle sits down solo with author, businesswoman, and all around multihyphenate, Elaine Welteroth, to answer a listener's question about a dating red-flag. Elaine tells the story of past romance with her own “Br. Big,” and how it nearly set her off course from the family goals she cared most about. Michelle talks about the importance of dating before marriage and highlights a concept that should be paid more attention: being the “chooser,” not the chosen. Have a question you want answered?

Right. Right. Theraflu firmly believes that the ability to rest and recover when sick should be a right, not a privilege. And I love that.

To this day, whenever my sister and I catch the scent of Pine Sol, we automatically feel better about life. The smell of Pine Sol has always taken us back to our childhood home. It is amazing how smells can transport you to a place or a moment in time. Another smell that takes me back is cherry blossoms, which always remind me of visiting Michelle in D.C.

And especially for Black women, you know, I mean, we can talk about how hard it is to be chosen in this day and age. I love to talk about being the choosers, though.

I know. Well, let's talk about that. Well, I do think there's this narrative that you have to wait to be chosen and what it means to be chosen by a man. And I think I had that, I call it the Carrie Bradshaw complex. You know, growing up with Sex and the City as kind of the waiting.
