I wish that in the corporate world, women could wear shirts like these without bras and not be over sexualized or negatively judged by their coworkers. Sometimes a woman just wants to be comfortable. Not our fault everything is viewed as sexual. #ChangeTheStigma #melanin #queenin #naturalhair #4chair #4chairchick #blackwomen (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9EUeGpdWr/?igshid=k3y5rynsefb5

This is Sha'Carri Richardson, a gold metalist Olympic competitor that has been a victim of yet another USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) case. This young lady is the fastest woman in the country. After losing her biological mother her chance at going to Tokyo have been taken from her. She tested positive for Cobxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (C-THC). These cases are not at all new. We have been following them since Ricky Williams in 2005/2006. The stigma of cannabis needs to change. As Sha'Carri stated "I am Human." Cannabis helps people it is not a performance enhancing substance. It changes lives. It helps people. To help end Cannabis Prohibition we in the community have to help educate others on the importance of utilizing a natural herb over pharmaceutical products. It is impairitive that we the people, help change the perspective that the media has created year after year. Times have changed and we have been making progress but for someone as hard working and strong as Sha'Carri to lose out on an opportunity that will absolutely change her life because of use of cannabis is in our opinion, immoral. We think those in charge can do better. What do you think? . Also, @carririchardson_ we are deeply sorry for your loss. . . . #goldmetalist #themoreyouknow #waroncannabis #cannabisprohibition #changethestigma #speakup #letherrun #opinion #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #dobetter #educate #listen #support #cannabisfromtherootup #nuglife #spreadingknowledge #spreadtheword #educateyourself #marijuana #marijuanamovement #bekind https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ61wtRsD99/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Line

To be flattered or to be offended, that is the question. A dilemma, being a woman, I am faced with often.

When someone checks me out top to bottom, is that invasive? If I stop and say something, will I be overreacting? Will it make matters worse and I'll end up being embarrassed? What if someone softly whistles as a pass by? Or maybe starts humming a song. Should I try having a conversation with the person, should I punch them or should I just walk away. What is the fine line between someone being appreciative of my looks and someone objectifying me? Then there are those that are super chatty. You probably don't message your parents or best friends as much as they expect answers to their constant inquiries on all social media platforms they can possibly find you on. Are they just being friendly or are you their next target?

How much warrants crossing 'the line'? Who and what defines 'the line'? Do I get to decide my line? Or do I accept the line that society seems to have decided for me? I can't possibly hold the fort against a majority even though I feel violated when they say it's me who is overreacting; when they say I need to be more tolerant; when they say it must have been my fault to begin with.

Do I change 'the line' or follow it, that is the real question.
