What does it mean to be KEPT? How many Arican American women can relate to this term? Is this turn even discussed within our communities? Well ironic as it may seem many women seek this STATURE but go about it in the wrong way. If one wants to be Provided with their HEARTS desire within a Marrriage or Single, a women must possess certain qualities and be willing to ADD to the partnership on DIVERSE levels.
To be KEPT is not to be taken LIGHT. Now there are many MISTRESS' out there but that is not the audience I 'm seeking. I speaking to the WIFEY material or LONG TIME FRIEND IN A MONOGOMUS relationship. Particularly in the African American community . We have DEVALUED our WORTH by not DIVERSIFYING out QUALITIES.
In a recent conversation it was brought to my attention of just how much I resemble a KEPT woman. Intially I was SHOCKED because like many I associated the word as DEROGATORY...The person I was speaking with went through explaining the TRUE meaning . Now, don't think this was a far out conversation.Seriously, I respect the individual as they are well informed on the TERM as a lover of EUROPEAN culture historical and present. With that being said , sisterz it is simply an POINT of knowing your station or class level. I am not a "WORKER" does this imply that I am LAZY ,DOCILE, without AMBITION, NO. This just is something that is taught , learned at around age 10 maybe sooner. I enjoy DIVERSE things and see no reason to "WORK" my way through a system that is MEANINGLESS but on FALSE PROMISES. I enjoy being a HOMEMAKER, ACTIVIST,ADVOCATE, etc. I am interested in an array of events.
Simply , know your worth ,know your station, THE SOONER YOU CAN ACCEPT IT THE SOONER YOU CAN CLAIM IT!!!!!!!
