"I'm a Single Black Girl and I Refuse to be Scared by the Statistics Saying I Will Never Get Married"

"Dating While Black is Kinda Like Mario Kart.

I love playing Mario Kart. On paper, Yoshi is a solid bet. He’s a dinosaur, small, and moves pretty fast. But don’t discount Bowser and Donkey Kong. Drive next to one of those guys and your ass will get knocked off Rainbow Road. Despite their size, they still accelerate faster than Mario and Luigi, even though both Mario and Luigi are better at handling and can absolutely outmaneuver Donkey Kong and Bowser off-road. Yes, statistically, Yoshi is the game favorite, but that doesn’t mean Mario or Donkey Kong can’t win the game.

Life brings obstacles but it also brings rainbow boxes of opportunity...

In the words of Maya Angelou, if you can’t change it, change your attitude. Stereotypes, expectations, and other people’s opinions don’t define you as a person unless you let them. A hundred people could tell you they don’t want to date you because you’re black and you can choose to be angry or choose to see it as a hundred people you were able to weed out on your way to Mr. Right. I mean let’s be real, you probably didn’t want to date those dudes anyway."
