There is so much power in sisterhood, yet we live in a time where it’s hard to tell the difference between a friend and a foe. It breaks my heart to see so many women backstabbing, spreading lies, exposing each other’s weaknesses, and gossiping behind closed doors. The term “frenemy” is all too common, and it’s painful to know that some women would rather let another woman suffer in silence than extend a helping hand. They’ll watch 👀you struggle, laugh behind your back, and never tell you that you were the secret joke all along.
I wish more women knew that when you help another woman fix her crown 👑 instead of exposing her mess, you don’t lose your shine🌞—you gain even more. Why are we so afraid to see another woman winning? Why does her beauty, success, or confidence threaten us? There is room for all of us to thrive, and true strength is shown when we uplift each other instead of tearing one another down.
So what if she is prettier, slimmer, or wealthier? Love yourself enough to love others because trust me, the spirit you carry is visible to everyone around you. 💓A bitter heart shows. A jealous heart speaks. And no man or woman respects a person who constantly spews venom about another. While people may half-listen, trust me, they are looking at you sideways, wondering when their turn will come to be the topic of your whispers.
God smiles on the woman 🌹 who sees another sister in need and helps her without broadcasting her flaws. That kind of woman is the one God can trust. If envy or jealousy tries to rise up in you, take it to your prayer closet and say, “Father, take this mess out of me!” Because let’s be honest—we all have moments when comparison creeps in, but it’s what we do with those feelings that define who we truly are.
I wish women understood that it doesn’t make you look better when you laugh at another woman’s downfall. You don’t have to be friends with everyone. You won’t like everyone, and not everyone will like you. But at the very least, don’t add to someone’s trauma. We were taught as children: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That wisdom still holds true today.
Take an honest look at yourself. Reflect 🪞 on how you treat people. If there are things you need to change, then change them. Don’t stay that way. Don’t pass down bitterness to your daughters, nieces, or the younger women watching you. Let’s break the cycle. Let’s build each other up. I’m not coming from a place of feminism for the sake of feminism—I simply believe that real women empower each other, and it starts with us.
A stronger woman doesn’t dim another’s light 💡—she stands beside her, knowing that together, we shine even brighter.
