Sisterhood, Not Strife: The Toll of Workplace Bullying Among Black Women (BLACK HISTORY MONTH BLOG)

Image
The Silent Battle in the Workplace For many Black women, the workplace is not just a professional battlefield—it’s a space where they are fighting to be seen, heard, and respected. But what happens when the wounds don’t come from the usual sources—racism, misogyny, or glass ceilings—but from within? Bullying and gossip among Black women in workplace environments is a painful reality that often goes unspoken. The expectation of sisterhood and solidarity is replaced by whispered rumors, exclusion, and even outright sabotage. While workplace toxicity exists across all demographics, when it comes from women who share the same struggles, the pain cuts deeper. The Mental Health Toll The emotional impact of workplace bullying is significant. Anxiety, depression, and imposter syndrome all thrive in environments where psychological safety is compromised. Many Black women report feeling isolated, unworthy, and even questioning their abilities due to the internal conflicts they face at work. Stud...

🎙️ Impulsive Expressions vs. Intentional Releases: The Ripple of Our Energy

🎙️ Impulsive Expressions vs. Intentional Releases: The Ripple of Our Energy by Nubian Rami | Authentic Vibez There’s a sacred difference between releasing your emotions in the heat of the moment and choosing to express them with purpose. Let’s be honest: We’ve all felt it. That heat rising in our chest. The rush to speak, to snap, to let it out. And sometimes… we do. We yell. We post. We ghost. We hit send before we breathe. And while it might feel satisfying for a moment, the truth is, what we release doesn’t disappear. It becomes energy that moves . And whether we do it intentionally or impulsively, someone else feels it. 💥 The Truth About Being Impulsive Impulsiveness isn’t evil — it’s honest. It's that raw, unfiltered truth rising from your soul. But when it’s not rooted in awareness, it can spill out like broken glass. Painful. Sharp. Misplaced. I’ve done it. I’ve been there. I’ve snapped at the wrong person for a pain they didn’t cause. I’ve overexplained in places that...

“The Day I Reclaimed My Voice”

Image
“The Day I Reclaimed My Voice” By Nubian Rami of Authentic Vibez There are moments in life when your soul decides: No more. No more silence. No more shrinking. No more playing dead so others can stay comfortable. Today was that moment for me. It began with a name. A name I hadn't spoken in a long time. A name that once wrapped itself around my heart like ivy—until it withered everything it touched. He was someone I trusted. Someone I let in so deeply that when the betrayal came, it didn’t just break my heart—it fractured my entire foundation. I lost my confidence. My belief in love. My ability to trust. I silenced myself to keep peace with people who never once gave a damn about my pain. I went mute while I was hurting. I swallowed screams so others wouldn’t feel guilty. And I wore a smile that covered a storm. But today, hearing that name again… it woke something up in me. For the first time, instead of folding into that pain, I stood in it. I owned it. I faced the mirror of my he...

Unbreakable: A Love Letter to Black Women (Black History Month Poem)

Image
You are the rhythm, the drum, the dawn’s first light, The whispered strength in the dead of night. Daughter of kings, mother of worlds, A crown of fire, your spirit unfurled. They tried to bend you, but you would not break, Turned chains into gold, turned pain into wake. Your laughter is thunder, your tears holy rain, You rise from the ashes, again and again. You built nations with hands kissed by scars, Lit up the sky and reached for the stars. They wrote you out, but you carved your name, A legacy burning, an unyielding flame. Sister, warrior, healer, queen, The world dims when you are unseen. But you—oh, you—refuse to fade, A masterpiece that God has made. So stand, Black woman, with your head held high, You are the dream they could not deny. Bold, unshaken, fierce, and free— The very essence of history.

Reflections of the Heart (Mirror Principle).

Image
In the mirror’s quiet gleam, A world unfolds—a hidden dream. Faces shift, emotions play, Whispered truths of night and day. The heart reflects what eyes can’t see, A shadowed self, a mystery. Each smile, each tear, a silent guide, To places where the soul resides. The anger shown, the love displayed, In mirrored hearts are gently laid. No fault to find, no blame to cast, The mirror shows both present and past. Embrace its truths, though harsh they seem, For in its glass, we wake, we dream. To know oneself is the highest art, Found in reflections of the heart. -Rami🌻
