Hello,
I just wanted to introduce everyone to my personal finance blog for black women: Black Girl Money Diet
As a black woman, I created the blog as a way to help build awareness and to act as a motivator to course-correct bad money habits. Please stop by and let me know what you think.
Thanks.

I met Bill Cosby on one of my flights. He was one of the most gracious and accommodating passengers I flew with. His personal assistant was a black woman. You may have seen her on his perp walk to and from the court. The man those women identified as a rapist is not the man I met that day.
I believe those women.
If Cosby told the truth in his deposition - then he didn’t drug them without their knowledge.
Sexual Assault is tricky. We women say no, or want to say no but sometimes we feel guilty for putting ourselves in a situation where a man can harm us. It is f-cked up some men are monsters.
I was in that situation when I was a teen crushing on a cute boy who was nearly a man. (18 yoa) I thought he was a good boy. He wasn’t. It took another man to keep him from sexually violating me. Thank goodness for “iron sharpening iron.” A man protected me from a monster.
I told all the other girls who knew him to stay away from him - I told them he was a predator. I TOLD. I also learned how to use my sexuality to get what I want from men. That’s the trade off for innocence lost or almost lost.
BUT I didn’t file charges against him. Do you know my dad was a cop? I could have had all of NYPD on him. BUT I felt ashamed for putting myself in that position to like and trust a predator.
This is why some women don’t come forward until 50-11 years later.
Then it’s too late.
I believe the PA Supreme Court Justices got it right.
I also believe we must teach boys not to rape.
