3/24/2017 0 Comments Bias actions at checkoutI never would've thought I would be faced with something of this magnitude while in checkout! It was my turn in the check out line at Publix. I was greeted with a hello by a Caucasian cashier and as she is ringing my groceries I noticed something. She instructed the bagger to not put a couple of my items in the bag. Her words was " don't put that in the bag, I don't think that is covered." I'm just thinking to myself what is she trying to imply, being I that haven't even taken my wallet out of my purse yet? So how is she to know what is covered or not? Of course, it was the assumption that I was planning to use a form of assistance. Though I did have a wic card in my wallet it wasn't in sight when that first upfront thought of me was made just because of how I looked. My hair was pulled back. I had on my jeans an a decent top ..? lol No it couldn't have been my attire. So all that's left is my complexion. Though I am not ashamed of that fact I used the wic card for a portion of the groceries. It was an additional assumption that was confirmation to me how bias this lady was. She not only asked the bagger not to bag my groceries, because she thought it wasn't covered by the assistance that she assumed I have. But also that if the assistance didn't cover it, I wouldn't be able to pay the difference with my own money. Which is not okay at all. So it was not until I actually purchased everything, that she gave the bagger the okay to place all of my groceries in the bag and into my cart. Just because I'm a young black woman doesn't mean that you can automatically assume I'm on some for of assistance. It most definitely doesn't mean that I don't have my own funds to fit my own bill! Just because I still use wic to get the basics for my child doesn't mean that I deserved that treatment as I was purchasing my groceries. How do you react when you experience treatment like this? How I do I handle something that I knew still existed in the world we live in , but for the first time experienced it? How is that suppose to make me feel knowing that I have a little girl that is gonna be expose to a world like this? what do I tell her? What was I to do get mad and make a scene? In my head I wanted to but I had my baby girl and husband waiting on me at home. So I left cause I felt she wasn't worth my time. Because I was not gonna be played for the angry black woman making a scene in a store with people waiting to be assisted. But still the situation was playing in my head and it was disgusting it was not sitting well with me at all. So while still handling my family duties I still succeeded in dealing with the situation. I called the Publix store and requested to speak with the customer service manager. She was appalled to hear what kind of judgement her employee is placing on the customers. And she assured me that she was specifically going to deal with that employee an that she will discuss the matter with all employees in the store. This really happens everyday. Like you know its people that are like that but its never a thought of what you are gonna do when you come face to face with that. I hope that cashier will learn from this incident, because not everyone is gonna be as pleasant about situations like this. Everyone should be aware of things like this big and small ,because it is never an excuse for that to happen. I thank God for building me into the women I am though. I still have my dignity. I know I am so much more than what that cashier tried to limit me to. I am Sarbri ! I am on the rise to something bigger than what I can possibly imagine, and no one can tell me different! #wehavemoreworktodo #iamsarbri #iamwhoisayiam
3/19/2017 1 Comment Preparation DayGoodmorning everyone!! It is Sunday which also what i'd like to call preparation day! Its the first day of the week an also the day prior to monday when alot goes on for everyone. Sundays are when church going happens. Although in my home worship and exalting Gods name is a daily essential to get through everyday. Its still good in it self to participate in fellowship. Also in our home I deep clean the house, do laundry, etc. My husband and I take this day to prep for the rest of the week in everyway possible. Spiritually, mentally,emotionally, and physically. No ones ever completely ready for the business days to start up. So I believe that everyone should have a preparation day so monday wont hit you as hard. So make use of today to make sure your house is clean. Make sure your laundry is out the way. And that everything needed for the days ahead are prepped in advance. Because of this day i am able to have things ready to go for my family. So try it out and take advantage of today. And dont forget to end it off with a beautiful sunday dinner. Enjoy your family. With all the chaos on workdays its so much more important to spend that quality time with loved ones. So indulge in every moment!
#itspreparationday #Beready #Iamsarbri💋 It begins and ends with you.! What you give power to and what you allow to have power over you. Make the right choice knowing this for the well being of yourself. You may not have control over others and the situations that occur. The good news though, is that you have all the control of yourself. How you react to things. How carry yourself in situations. How you allow things to effect you. And the result of how it plays into who you are. Don't give others the satisfaction of feeling like they have that power over you. Always remain secure in who you are at all times. And remember that how you move is for the benefit of yourself. I have struggled with allowing people that were honestly insignificant to effect me. I have wasted time on people that aren't worth the time to begin with. But I'm realizing now more than ever that I am beyond all of it. No one can tell me how valuable I am. No one can tell me that I am something that I am not. No one can have power over how I feel In general. No one has a battery in my back to make me react when and how they want. No one has an effect on how I move. How I speak and how present myself. People will talk regardless but at the end of the day. What others think of me really doesn't matter. I decide who really holds enough relevance, or importance to affect anything in my life. I am who I am. And there are never apologies for that. #iamsarbri

3/14/2017 0 Comments Meal to love: Chicken EnchiladasSo my husband and I was talking about me preparing more of variety meals at home. When you have a certain routine it can get very easy for things to get boring. Especially when you have your favorites that you cant get enough of. So as my way of showing him that he was heard i made what I have never made before. Chicken Enchiladas! Shockingly they came out so much better than what I was fearing the result would be but i did it. Yay me ! #madebysarbri
#iamsarbri💋 Last year I was talking to my god sister about where I was in life.
She ask me something that made me halt in silence. Her question to me was "Who are you" and "your not allowed to say fiancé/wife or mother." I honestly didn't know what to say to her. Who would've thought that what should be a easily answered question caused me to rethink myself as a whole. That embarrassing moment caused me to take some time to give myself some more TLC. Thankfully I've been able to work through those challenges. Without the support of my now husband, my daughter keeping me motivated and God being all that he is I would have never gotten to the place I am now.I have gained acceptance of who I am. I connected back with my roots and I'm now blossoming into a beautiful flower. I am claiming my crown as a Queen. Once I decided to be true to myself, I realized this would give me the tools I need to do great things. For myself and my family. After a slight second, I realized that its no question about it! What an amazing time to create this Blog! What an inspiration! I am so content with who I am as a wife, mother, and as a woman. I am embracing who Sarbri is and all the I am learning along the way. I want to share my truth. I want the world to see me for who I am ! I desire to encourage and motivate others to believe and be Intune with their original selves. I seek to inspire other women to take a chance on themselves. Regardless of the matter I want to allow my voice to be heard. As someone that has overcame things I thought wasn't possible. I am determined to be the proof to others that you can exceed even the expectations you have set for yourself. I want to show my discouraged young women that even if the plan you have appears to derail, life goes on! 3/6/2017 0 Comments Lip Scrub diyLip scrub diy
