Black Women! Stop Listening To These Horrid Dating Coaches!

They are not qualified to help you with relationships

Dating coaches are popping up all around, specifically “coaches” to help Black men and women to have healthy relationships or to find true love.

The current problem I have with them today is that they are misleading people, and their “advice” comes from a toxic place; their medium, podcasts, is used to spew all the toxicity they have in their hearts.

I am not going to name these horrid podcasters(too many!) but here is what I am TIRED of seeing on social media:

“Women! You are 40 years old therefore just roll over and die, love isn’t for you!”

“Women! Get fit and friendly! If you are a 10 you can attract a 10. If you are regular, date regular!”

“You are not pretty because of the Golden Ratio, Black women! Give up! You’re ugly!”

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Is this how a therapist or a coach heals a person?

Nope.

You have some silly women going around spewing the same toxic rhetoric too! They will defend it by deflecting saying, “Well only the truth heals.”
