Upgrade My Diva

Divas, divas, DIVAS!!! This is Mizz Sassy with Upgrade My Diva coming with shine and always fine attitude and gratitude to all my fellow divas and divos in N-E-T land. Today, we are going to address that word “Ego”. From a positive side it means your consciousness of your own identity, from a negative it can be an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others. So what does ego mean to me? Well I will start with what I think ego means to a lot of women. Ladies, its 2009. We came from being degraded by men, to now being degraded by other women. Way back in the day before I was born, women stood together to raise awareness of our mistreatment. Now that we have come full circle, we are mistreating ourselves. Now I am by no means a saint. I will say right her to the world that I use to be a hater. I use to sit back and judge every woman I came across because I had some insecurities in myself. Its one thing to love yourself, it’s a whole other thing to hate on another in the process. It’s ok to be self aware, to be completely and utterly happy with your life, style, and situation. But who am I to laugh, poke fun, or completely disrespect another person, whether they be woman or man? As women I believe we were born wanting respect, yet we can take it away from ourselves and others so easily. So I challenge every woman on the net, and every woman that is passed this post, next time you see a sista, say “How you doing diva!”. Next time you see that girl we all know wit a "doo" not up to our standards, a subpar outfit, and shoes you wouldn’t mess with, tell her “you look good!”. Because you not lying to her, she knows what she feels. We all need to understand that our look, our style, is our own. Lets not be trendsetters and be individuals. Set your ego and pride to the side, and shake a hand. Don’t stoop to a level that you wouldn’t want your own daughter stooping to. Let’s not judge but be joyful, because you may be missing out on a great friend, or husband, because you took the position to hate. Now I know, there are some professional haters out there, and by all means continue to do your job. When you are ready to cross over to the winning team, give me a holla.

So for now, not live but direct, with all the respect. Peace, love, and give ya girl a hug. I’m Mizz Sassy, and I’m out!
