Spelman

Two things. Okay maybe three.

1. Although I am not and at this point never will be a Spelman Alumna, my heart and soul tell me I am and always will be a Spelmanite. The lessons, experiences, people, and consequential growth that I underwent while living in the shadow of Sister's Chapel is an integral part of my personal foundation. 

2. Because of this I take offense to this song. I don't appreciate what this man said about my Spelman sisters. Point, blank. period.

3. I am irked because low key he is really talking about the negative stereotypes of a Spelman woman, which regretfully, there is a number of girls that rep Spelman and continue to perpetuate this stereotype. When I was a student there I hated the reaction I would get when I told certain people I was a Spelmanite ("Oh, your one of THOSE women.....") Like really?! What is "One of THOSE women" supposed to mean?? A sexy, intelligent woman who is about her business and demands respect? Yes; I am. A stuck up, money hungry bitch?.....nah thats that girl repping Spelman in all the wrong ways.
