“99% is the same as 0. If you’re gonna do 99, go ahead and stay home”.
Yesterday I appeared on BET’s 106 and Park. It was the very first time that they ever had a blogger on the show and it was definitely an accomplishment for me as it’s a difficult thing to come from behind your computer when you’ve been there so long.
There is so much I want to write but I’ll just say this, I didn’t do the show for “me”. I did it for every young girl out there that has been constantly told “what they can not do”. For every girl that’s been told no. For every woman that’s in a situation where she feels as though she can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. that her goals are unattainable because of what she may currently have going on in her life. Every situation is temporary. I am a true testament.
Three years ago, I felt as though I had failed at every single thing I had set out to do. It was embarrassing and I was left with nothing but a roof over my head (provided by my aunt). I only started the site NecoleBitchie.com as a way to pass time, it was therapy for me at the time because it helped take my mind off of the fact that I had no money, no job and I was stuck in a small town with no opportunities.
But I’m here now, and I refuse to look back
If I would have said “no” to the opportunity, I would have considered myself a slacker. To be a slacker, is disrespectful to those who believe in you. If I were to say that I went on the show to prove “my doubters” wrong, it would be disrespectful to those people like you that want to see me win.
So with that being said. Thank you to everyone that has continued to believe in me and my vision.
Remember, Don’t ever let anyone put you in a box
P.S. I remember back when I was in college, people would always tell me your mom talks about you so much. She is so proud…and I would just brush it off. It was unimportant at the time. The things we take for granted
For her to have seen me on her television yesterday would have meant the world to me. Don’t take those that love and support you for granted. Tomorrow is never promised
