Any Black female who lives in Oakland

Do not go to the liquor store on 90th and MacArthur, around 10-14 Black men will be standing out there with vans and they will try to snatch you up, the Arab dudes who own the liquor store are in on it do not go there during the night, if it wasn’t for my boyfriend being with me last night they would have got me #staywoke

SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!

PLEASE REBLOG THIS

Cuz I know a few of my followers out that way

Don’t go during the day either! My cousin and sister seen these vans in broad day light. They were scared shitless. They kept their distance, and no harm was done. I showed them this post a week later, they should’ve been warned sooner. PLEASE REBLOG THIS!

SIGNAL BOOST TO SAVE A LIFE.

This mom is using her coupon clipping skills to help hurricane victims in need.

Laundry detergent, soap, diapers, baby wipes, formula - you name it,the Texas woman has bought it.

Kimberly Gager volunteered to shop on behalf of anyone willing to donate toward hurricane evacuees. She expected a few friends to pinch in, but to her surprise, she got dozens of responses. Since then, she has been clipping coupons, making trips to the store and delivering items.

She’s spent about $2,700 - but gotten goods worth about $5,000 in retail price.

Gager estimates she’s made at least 50 trips to her local Walgreens and Target to stock up on items families have requested. 

So far, she’s delivered items to nearly 30 families. And she’s looking for even more people to help.

Don’t forget to support and cheer for your parents’ dreams. It’s not just about you, they still want to do a million things. Let them live and support all the good they strive for. It doesn’t matter if they fail, support them, cheer for them, be happy for them.

My cousin passed away from a sudden stroke. Please pray for him and his family. His father passed away a while ago so now it’s just his sister and mother. Please pray Allah SWT grants them patience and strength.

Everyone is on their own level. Don’t compare yourself to others.

Whenever you dislike the position you are in remember: Du’a changes Qadr, Du’a changes Qadr, Du’a changes Qadr. You have the power to change your situation. Your du’a is the strongest weapon you have - use it wisely.

Before, during and after prayers. Watch it till the end..

If your reasoning for dress codes is “it might distract male teachers” heres a tip: dont hire men who sexualize the children theyre supposed to be teaching? Fire them

Can y'all drop a prayer for my mom? Just for her happiness and well being. Anything good you can ask for. Please.
