“Spoil me differently! Spoil me with your love, honesty, and commitment. Spoil me with respect, honor, and appreciation. Spoil me with engaging conversations. Spoil me with your attentiveness. Spoil me by being kind, understanding, and genuine. Spoil me with laughter and let’s create memorable memories together. Spoil me by giving me your heart wholeheartedly. Spoil me baby, and I vow to do the same. Material things are okay, but nothing compares to knowing and feeling that you’re genuinely loved. Any man can buy a woman gifts, but it takes a special King to love his Queen properly.”

“Dear Exquisite Black Queens… Before you start making relationship goals, make sure that the relationship you have with yourself is healthy, first. Are you trying to fill a void? Do you respect yourself? Do you have low or high self-esteem? Are you living with a painful secret? Are you damaged from past relationships? Do you have a hidden agenda? Do you have a nasty attitude? Are you a complicated woman? Do you like to start arguments and keep up drama? Are you angry about something that you never dealt with? I could literally go on and on, but I think you get my point. What is YOUR truth? You’ve got to be honest with yourself! Do you authentically love yourself, or are you searching for something? Your number one relationship goal should be with YOU. Learn to love, respect, appreciate, value, and be good to yourself. Self-Love comes first, Queens!”

“I’m an Exquisite Black Queen! No man’s material possessions are worth more than ME. So, NO, I won’t stay just because he’s got a substantial amount of money, a luxurious home, properties, vehicles, expensive jewelry, etc. I will NOT disrespect myself by staying with a man that doesn’t genuinely value our relationship. Material things are just a bonus to me… I can’t and won’t be bought! Staying in a relationship with a man that cheats on me is NOT an option, PERIOD. Integrity, faithfulness, commitment, and respect are mandatory. I’m a Phenomenal Black Woman! I won’t settle for excuses or foul behavior.”

“Any man can buy a woman gifts, take her out for dinner, drinks, and a movie, take her on luxury vacations, treat her to spa days and shopping sprees, but here me out, Queens… It takes a special King to love his Queen properly. All of the things that I’ve listed above should be a bonus, NOT the main factor of your relationship. There’s nothing like being in a relationship with a man who’s FULLY committed to you. He’s an attentive man… He sees and hears you, he’s loving, respectful, supportive, faithful, and he appreciates you. His dedication to you is priceless!”

“Dear Black Women… I STRONGLY encourage you to start holding yourself accountable for the choices that you make when choosing a man. Stop being desperate for attention and easily flattered. Self-love sets the standard in how we allow others to treat us. Queens, you’ve got to value who YOU are. Work on your self-esteem and learn to GENUINELY love and respect yourself. Stop complaining about the men YOU keep choosing to entertain. It starts with YOU. Strive to be a Woman of substance so you can attract a Man of substance.”
