Cardi B, the stripper turned reality star, known for her ratchet realness, boisterous behavior, and far from ladylike antics became a super star from the Love & Hip Hop franchise. Cardi B was known most for her annoying voice and ratchet behavior, but her realness was so raw and uncut even if you didn't want to like her you just had to.
Cardi B is an ex stripper from the Bronx with a few enhanced body parts she proudly boasts about and an attitude that would make you roll your neck and take off your heels right along with her The lady once considered to be a joke now has a song on the charts making history. Her song, Bodak Yellow is now holding the record on the Billboard Charts for female artist with the most streaming song doenloads and #1 single spots only previously held by Rihanna and Taylor Swift in 2017. Just like the lyrics to her hit song, "I Don't Dance Now I make Money Moves." Cardi is definitely showing there is some truth in those lyrics. If you follow Cardi B on social media you know she is such a genuine and loveable person. Critics may think she is ghetto or rude, but one thing is fot sure...Cardi B is real. Cardi B gives us a dose of realness by constantly sharing her thoughts and experience with her audience on social media.She does not shy away from the truth and is very blunt about all her experiences from surgical enhancements to sex. She is true to herself. From what I see she seems to not care what people think, she doesnt try to fit within the mold the entertainment industry tries to put celebrities in, and she doesn't sugar coat anything. What we can all take from Cardi B is its okay to be you. Overnight success isnt always about who you know, or how good you can pretend... success also comes from hard work and being who you are. xoxo Krystale Jane'l

Hello luvs,
I took a week off to focus on some other things, but here I am, at 4 am, unable to sleep, and just reflecting and praying. I am truly blessed for what God has done. I reflect on who I once was to who I am now. Im not perfect far from it, but I can honestly say my sole intention on this Earth is to be a "light" in the midst of darkness, walk in love, and use my God given gift of writing to express to others everything that God will allow me to write about. Once a broken woman, a lesbian, drug addict, rape survivor, abuse survivor, depressed and broken soul who spent most of my life attempting to find something that I already had but never accepted---the calling God placed on my life and the covering of a God who sees more in me than I see in myself. When the Spirit gave me the go ahead to walk without fear and be transparent I was a little hesitant to tell who I really used to be...but my truth is a testimony...a testimony so many can relate to. God just revealed when I complete the last installment in The Undercover Life Of A Diva series titled, The Sweetest Temptation I will begin writing my autobiography. I've been hesitant because Im a very private person, but I am also trying to be more of an obedient believer of the Spirit. God has just revealed that the name of my book shall be titled, From Broken To A Butterfly The Memoir of Krystale Jane'l(I added the last part because Im a super drama queen) The last thing I want to say before I try to get some sleep is whatever it is holding you back from being great LET IT GO. I pray that you find strength to walk in the authority of Divine Power and the faith to know God will guide you.Sometimes your own worst enemy may not be anyone--- its you. Let go of human emotions and walk in the Spirit. Fear, Doubt, the Past, Anxiety, Friends, & Toxic Relationships...If you are in a place in your life where your inner most being is not at peace....let some things go because you are destined to be GREAT. A great business owner, a great wife, a great artist, a great student, a great supervisor, or just a person comfortable with themselves...just be great! As always, Act in Love Walk in Faith Express Without Fear xoxo Krystale Jane'l
We all saw or (at least saw the memes) from Representative Maxine Waters iconic moment with the Treasury Meeting where she repeatedly stated, "Reclaiming My Time". Maxine Waters is the OG of politics and has been none to bluntly tell the truth, drop the mic, and keep it so real she has become one of the favorite politicians for most Millennials.
One thing we all should learn from this now legendary quote is how to reclaim our time. We as women spend so much time giving ourselves to others we barely make time for ourselves. We take on the roles of mothers, wives, employees, friends, and all the other titles we so proudly hold but we never make time for ourselves. Sometimes we as Christians say, "Well, I make time for God." Do you make time for yourself? It's time for us to be selfish and make time to enjoy our own lives so we can learn to see the value we have in other people's lives . I can't stress the importance of being selfish sometimes. Focus on you. Be on your Eat Pray Love sh#t, take a trip, plan a spa day, hang with your girls...whatever it is that keeps you sane and is a reminder to you that it's more to life than just being a giver and a nurturer....do it. Now my next topic: If there was ever a time in my life i wish I could be an "Indian Giver" it would have to be when giving up the coochie. Ladies, how many times have we wished we could take our coochie back from a intricately crafted F#@k boy. For those of you who don't know the definition of a F#@k boy let me elaborate... The dictionary.com definition of a "fuckboy" is: "In mainstream culture, a fuckboy is a guy who doesn’t respect women, yet relies on them heavily. He’s a guy who’s distant, doesn’t care about a woman’s time, and won’t commit. He’s self-absorbed and is never looking for anything serious relationship-wise.A fuckboy could also refer to a guy who is always doing stupid things and getting into trouble." Both of these definitions apply to what a fuckboy is. A fuckboy can be a player, a manipulator, a guy who can't seem to get things right in his life, a guy who thinks he is a good guy but really is a fuckboy...as what was cleverly defined in the last season of Insecure. Its no secret I wish I could get a coochie credit and take back some of the coochie I gave to men who I thought were indeed good men but turned out to be fuck boys. Dealing with Fuckboys leaves us with unnecessary baggage that real men will have to deal with. It isn't worth it, and lets be clear it isn't worth the body count for those of us who aren't celibate. If I knew then what I know, I can most definitely say there are some relationships in my life I would have avoided. Thats why Im reclaiming my vagina. Im reclaiming a Fuckboy free vagina, a vagina that is V.S.OP. reserved. A vagina that is immune to b.s. and that is uniquely designed for my hubby who I love so very much. So my sisters its time we reclaim our time and our vaginas. It's time we emancipate ourselves from b.s. and irrelevant people....So ladies, put your right hand over your heart and say this out loud: I solemnly swear that from this day forward I will be who I was destined to be. I will no longer allow others to dictate my life and my time. I will make time for myself so that I can be better for others. I make this solemn promise that I will whole heartedly seek the truth in a man so i can be fuckboy free. With this oath I promise to love myself, others, and be the best me I can be for myself, God, and my loved ones. xoxo, Krystale Jane'l

10/6/2017 5 Great Reasons Every Black Person & Every White Person With Black Friends Should Watch BlackishRead Now I finally got to watch the season 4 premiere of Blackish! Blackish is one of those rare jewels thats a family comedy that is not only humourous with the writer's well crafted punch line dialogue, but it's a show that enlightens us with a very personal and accurate reflection of black culture and the upper class black family dynamics. in modern society.
Some have dubbed Blackish the title of the modern day Cosby Show and I totally agree...but its like the Cosby Show remix. Blackish is a show I hope that is around for years because it accurately displays the "ugly truths" that a large portion of our black community face daily. On the season premiere Dre protests the twins Thanksgiving play for nor telling tbe real truth about Christopher Columbus. The protest was a catalyst for a lot of soul searching and inner conflict as Dre began to question why his family celebrated traditional holidays but did not celebrate black holidays such as Juneteenth. This episode was one of the best so far. From the moment Dre attempted to explain the significance of celebrating Juneteenth to his white co-workers, to the School House Rock themed educational cartoon featuring The Roots....this whole episode was "Lit" as the younger generation would say. Here are my Top 5 reasons Why Everyone Should Watch Blackish: 5. Its about an upper middle class African American family....I'm tuning in just because like Issa said, "Im rooting for everybody black!" 4.. It educates all of our culturally ignorant Anglo Saxon associates and friends-This show literally explains everything every black person has wanted to say to all of their white co-workers and friends but refused to...because let's face it; awkward silences are uncomfortable in real life. 3.Lawrence Fishburne and Jennifer Lewis play the roles of the grandparents- there is nothing left to be said. on that if you haver watched a black romantic comedy or the Matrix you know these two are Black Hollywood Royalty. 2. We love watching the Johnson's take on life changing events thats make nationwide headlines (You have to watch the election episode...pure comedy!)
Blackish is a show you have to check out...I promise you won't be disappointed. Watch on ABC on Tuesdays at 8 CST time! XOXO, Krystale Jane'l It took me years to finally realize what my purpose was. Unfortunately for some of us you don't just read Rick Warren's, The Purpose Driven Life and immediately figure out what God put you here to do. God didn't reveal it to me until I turned 24.
When God reveals your true purpose it's usually something you knew all along, but never quite took the time to pursue. I always loved to write. I wrote my first novel in the 3rd grade, but I never looked at writing as a career. It wasn't until I was in an abusive relationship that I used my God given gift to write my now published novel, The Undercover Life Of A Diva. When I finally realized writing was my ministry I became closer to God because everything started to make sense and I was excited about using my gift and allowing God to flow freely through me. Writing has always been quite easy for me. Storylines would pop in my head and I would just write. When you know what God called you to do there will be all kinds of doubt, fear, and criticism from others. Walk in your gift with confidence. There are so many people who would have never thought their ministry would be what it is, and they have touched the lives of millions. Remember those WWJD bracelets?! Whatever your gift is more than likely its probably your passion or something you never truly considered pursuing.. God will not reveal your purpose without revealing a promise. That's why it is so important to remain patient. God will place something in your spirit and as ridiculous as it may seem from man's point of view... through God all things are possible. So keep walking in obedience and bless others through the ministry God called you to do. This is something I am guilty of struggling with and I constantly have to work on. Whatever it is God calls you to do, pray for the vision to manifest His will, write it down, and actively pursue whatever it is wholeheartedly. You will have setbacks, some things will not go the way you think they should, but never forget when you are walking in God's will; you will have peace. I tried my hand at so many things but none of them seemed to last too long or they never seemed to work out. I was the master of starting things and never finishing them. When i started writing and allowing God to control my mind and be the author of my work things seemed to flow naturally...not in my timing, but His. So my luvs, Act In Love, Walk In Faith, & Express Without Fear xoxo, Krystale Jane'l |
