The Happy Black Woman Manifesto

As we roll out new projects and programs for Happy Black Woman’s comeback, it’s about time for me to put it out there into the world, my Happy Black Woman Manifesto that I’ve been working on for a long time.

It’s been a year and a half since we last aired our episode. But it didn’t stop us from continuing what we’ve already started.

In today’s comeback episode, I’m sharing some quick personal updates as well as major business happenings here at Happy Black Woman.

So let’s dive right in!

 

Happy Black Woman 2.0

As they’d always say, life must go on. And yes we did!

A lot has happened in my life since the last time I was on the show.

I got engaged at the end of 2020 and tied the knot in April 2021. And just last month, my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary.

As for the business aspect, we’ve been rocking our virtual events despite having the pandemic. 

Now we’re planning on doing live events and rolling out some programs for this awesome community.

Among the things that we’re doing so far for our strong comeback this 2022 are:

  • Relaunching the Happy Black Woman podcast with a new episode every week (stay tuned for that!)
  • Publishing this new website at HappyBlackWoman.com
  • Growing my awesome email tribe where I’ll send out inspirational emails every weekday
  • Plus a whole lot of other power launches in the coming months

All of these are designed to help YOU manifest the life and business of your dreams.

But we all know it’s not going to be a stroll in the park. 

So I came up with a manifesto that I’ve been working on for quite some time. This manifesto will serve as our fuel to crush those goals.

It’s also sort of our community pact since I’ve always wanted for us to do something together, especially now that we’re taking on a new chapter in this community.

 

What is a Manifesto?

A manifesto is essentially a declaration of the identity that you desire to become. It’s a collection of affirmations, mantras, and positive statements that represent who you are and who you want to be.

 

“I can do whatever I want with my life. And no one can stop me but me. I am a happy black woman.”

 

How to Make the Most Out of It?

Make this manifesto a part of your daily routine and you’ll see a gradual improvement in all aspects of your life.

To make the most out of it, I highly recommend that you either print it out and put it around where you can easily see it OR read it out loud and record and then play it on the go.

Remember, words are powerful. So choose wisely what words you feed your mind with.

3 Limiting Money Beliefs That Sabotage Your Business Success

Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.

marianne williamson

Throughout my years of teaching and coaching hundreds of Black women to start and grow their businesses, I’ve found that the biggest hurdle to our success is not necessarily doing the day-to-day work – such as the marketing or the sales, etc.

It’s actually our mindset.

More specifically, it’s our limiting beliefs about money and what’s possible for us.

Limiting money beliefs are beliefs that keep us from being wealthy, successful and ultimately happy in our lives and businesses.

If you want to overcome those beliefs and get to the 6-figure mark faster, here are 3 limiting money beliefs to let go of.

1. “Successful entrepreneurs must have something I don’t have.”

The truth is, just because someone is further along than you financially in their business, doesn’t mean they’re better than you. And you certainly shouldn’t be worshipping them as if they are perfect and you aren’t worthy to breathe their air. 6-figure business owners, multiple 6-figure earners and millionaires are human, just like you. God didn’t give them anything He didn’t give you. So if they can do it, then you can do it, too!

2. “The white woman’s ice is colder.“

We don’t have to emulate everything our white peers are doing in order to be successful. We can do it OUR way – sell what we want, charge what we want and make money how we want. Just because the “it coach” of the moment is blonde and thin with an expensive website and 100,000 followers on Instagram – doesn’t mean that she has THE “secret” to making money online. As Black women entrepreneurs, we have to be careful not to internalize racism and fall into the “I’m not good enough” trap just because we weren’t born with white privilege.

3. “Rich people are bad and money is evil.“

How can you desire to be rich and hate rich people at the same time? This is cognitive dissonance at it’s finest. If you want to make a lot of money in YOUR business, then you have to stop throwing shade at the people who make a lot of money in THEIR business. Instead of criticizing them, CELEBRATE THEM. Especially your fellow Black women in business. Because money is not evil; it’s just that some people do evil things with money. Good people have always done good things with it!

Grams 73rd Birthday New Orleans - Happy Black Woman

Travel Diary: Celebrating My Gram’s 73rd Birthday in New Orleans!

“Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.” 

– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I just got back to Connecticut from New Orleans, Louisiana after spending the last few days celebrating my Grams’ 73rd birthday! Now that she is vaccinated (as are my mom and I), she has a list of places she wants to travel to – and New Orleans was one of them!

This was my 5th time visiting NOLA (my last trip was back in 2018) and I always look forward to hanging out in one of my favorite “foodie” cities with all of the delicious Cajun food, jazz music, southern culture and history.

We had a wonderful time exploring the city! Here were some of the highlights:

  • Beignets and coffee at Cafe du Monde
  • The Hop On/Hop Off bus tour of the city
  • Jazz brunch at The Court of Two Sisters
  • Shopping in the French Market
  • Gumbo & jambalaya cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking
  • Dinner and music on the Steamboat Natchez
  • Playing slots at Harrah’s Casino
  • A horse carriage ride tour
  • Exquisite lunch at Muriel’s
  • Impeccable stay and room service at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans
  • …and hilarious movie nights in Gram’s hotel room!
 
 

These are the kinds of beautiful memories that I will never forget. The way I travel now is not to cross off a list of places I’ve never been, but to make time for unforgettable experiences in my favorite places with my favorite people. I’m so grateful that we were able to go on this trip!

P.S. I’m excited to be planning a series of business and lifestyle retreats for 2022! Private message me on Facebook if you’re interested in learning more: https://www.facebook.com/rosettathurman
