Embracing the journey of being single
In a world full of expectations, discover the power of choice and the richness of a single life. This space is dedicated to celebrating individual paths and finding fulfillment on your own terms.
Beyond the questions
“Why are you still single? You better hurry up, you aren't getting any younger. Where is your beau?” Many single women, especially Black women, are constantly faced with these questions. In my generation, it often felt like your life was incomplete without a husband and children, regardless of your educational achievements or career success. Thankfully, millennials and Gen Z are realizing this isn't true. Gender roles have shifted significantly, and most men are wanted, not needed.
Your path, your choice
Ironically, this shift encourages men to step up their game. Are they doing so? Some are, and some are not. The great news is that for women, the selection process is entirely optional. We have the opportunity to wait longer and make better choices, or we can embrace being single and pursue all that life has to offer as an individual. This page is for all women to recognize that they have choices and can pursue any path they desire in their lives.
Trust your intuition
One crucial piece of advice: do not settle for less. When you see a "red flag," don't be afraid to trust your better judgment. Your happiness and well-being are paramount, and choosing not to settle is an act of self-respect. This journey of self-discovery and empowerment is uniquely yours.
Single women in history and faith
The strength and impact of single women are not new. Biblically, some single women achieved great things: Lydia, a prominent independent businesswoman who sold purple dye (Acts 16); Miriam, Moses' sister, a prophet and leader who helped guide the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 2 and 15); and Anna, a devout prophetess and widow who spent her time praying and fasting at the temple, and was one of the first to recognize Jesus (Luke 2:36-38). These stories remind us that a single status does not limit one's purpose or potential.
