In this empowering video, I dive into the topic of standards and why black women should never feel the need to lower them. We'll explore the harmful narrative perpetuated by some, like Tyler Perry's comment, suggesting that black women should settle for less. It's time to challenge these stereotypes and celebrate our worth. Join me as I discuss the importance of self-love, self-respect, and valuing our own desires and expectations. We'll explore the damaging effects of societal pressures and the beauty of setting high standards for ourselves, both in relationships and every aspect of life. Remember, we deserve the love and respect we desire, and compromising our standards should never be the answer. Let's celebrate our strengths, embrace our uniqueness, and build fulfilling relationships that meet our expectations. Join the conversation and let's uplift and empower each other! As for the question about buying a $30,000 ring for a girlfriend, it's a matter of personal preference and financial capability. Different individuals have different perspectives on the value and significance of expensive gifts. Ultimately, the decision to purchase such an expensive ring should be based on one's financial situation, the specific relationship dynamics, and the meaningfulness it holds for both partners.
