I couldn't sleep, for thinking about yesterday's show. I was on WOLB, the Lawrence Bell Show, and we talked about my recent blog, "Why You Don't Have a Man," in which I gave five reasons for women being alone and lonely.
I apologize, however, for how I talked about my sisters who are dealing with weight issues. It's true that 8 out of 10 black women are overweight. It's also true that being overweight compromises a person's health and affect one's self-esteem. But there's no reason to be judgmental and belittling when we discuss such topics. So, sisters, whether you listened or not, I apologize if I said anything that was offensive or judgmental because it's not my intent to bring you pain or shame but to encourage you to take better care of you. Not so you can attract and keep a man, but for YOU! You deserve to live with the best version of you.
I love doing radio. However, I want to do radio to discuss important matters in a way that heals..not hurt and diminish. So, we will continue our discussion on Love and Relationships on Wednesday, December 28 from 3 to 4 PM, WOLB 1010 AM. I hope you will join us, and add your powerful voice.
In Light & Love
Your sister, DeBora
