The article below aims to teach women about "not settling"
I despise the term "not settling" as it refers to marriage. It makes it sound like marriage is inevitable, like you better buy the used car in front of you instead of waiting to see if you find something better at the next car lot.
More to the point, I've read Taraji's biography. She didn't wait. She made mistakes with men, even though she didn't marry her mistakes. And if she hadn't pulled back and refocused on her art and fulfillment as the center of her life, she'd have kept on making the same errors and likely wouldn't have been as good a mother.
She built on her innate talent and developed her craft as an actor instead of focusing on being half of a couple.
Most women want romance and love in their lives. But it is a problem that we as women are raised to want this at the expense of everything else.
Black women need to appreciate Taraji, the 100 year old black women and their approach to life because that "soul mate" may or may not be out there.
A woman should probably live her life like there's a 50/50 chance her soulmate is not out there. If he (OR A FEW "He-s") is out there, she will be a whole person when he meets her. What's more important is that a whole person can recognize who is and is not good for her.And I hope Taraji is in that place in her life right now.

This is likely why almost everyone understands that the words "not settling" is a euphemism for "desperation."There was a story about five 100 year old black women a few weeks back. A couple of them said the best thing they ever did was NOT GET MARRIED...instead they traveled and had boyfriends.
