What have you been enjoying lately?

The recent trend of black girl luxury on social media has been simply amazing. It has shone a light that black women not only deserve luxury experiences but we are enjoying them more and more. We are making space for them in our every day lives more than ever. In previous times luxury experiences have seem almost out of our reach. They were not catered to us, they seemed unaffordable and not something we should spend our money on due to bills and other responsibilities. But we are living and striving!

Spa days, bougie and boozie brunches lol, girls trips and more because we CAN and we deserve to. Gone are the days of working to just to make do and get by. Black girls are living life as we should. Now some will say “that’s grown women shit” “that’s normal” and to that I say good for you sis. But for some of us those are not things we dreamed of being able to do when we were little girls. Shit some of us didn’t dream of it last year. The lives we are living now we couldn’t have imagined in our wildest dreams. The bare minimum of work, sleep, repeat just will not do anymore.

I love to see us celebrating us! New promotion for a friend-Brunch, got a new hairstyle-girls trip lol and every moment is a photo op because, why not! We look TF Good!. And that’s just the tip of the black girl luxury iceberg. We are enjoying luxury items just as much as luxury trips and experiences. The high end shoes, that actually don’t hurt to walk in. The real leather purse that doesn’t fall apart in a month. Even the sheer ability to own several nice purses and shoes and be able to switch them when you want to. We not out here with the one regular black purse that we carry everyday. We have options girls. I love that for us!

And that’s not all black girls are enjoying. We have self care days. We have access to real mental health and you not going tell me that’s not luxury cause I be damn! Getting someone to take a black girl serious about her mental issues used to be worse than pulling teeth. We were given unaffordable rates for care and told to just “pray about it” from our families. Oh but now we have resources. We are healing, living, and thriving. We are finally starting to live the lives beyond our ancestors dreams. We take the mental health days from work. Shit we take the “Me Days” from work too.

I love this life for us. It proves there is more to this world for US. We can enjoy it like the other part of the population. We can revel in life changing experiences that don’t equate to trauma and underlying pain. We are destined for far more than has ever been given to us, and lets be honest they can’t stand it! It’s eating them alive. And I Love it!!

Black women have been taught to be strong for so long, that we didn’t spend to much time just enjoying being a black girl. There was always something more important than living out our dreams and fantasy’s. But baby that is over now, we are enjoying life. Heal the inner child, live the life you deserve, have zero regrets. Black Girl Luxury at its finest!
