Dear Black Girls… The Power to Change the World 🌎 Lies within You!!!
We, the unfair society, have failed you.
We have created systems and structures that deliberately disadvantage you, limit even your potential creative growth, and make it harder and harder for you to achieve your dreams. We are sorry for the pain and suffering this has and may continuously cause you.
But despite our shortcomings, we want you to know that you are capable of achieving great things within us. We want to offer you some actionable life hacks and effective tools that can help you navigate life despite the disadvantages you face.
First, we want you to understand the critical importance of learning the basics of how the human brain works. Our brains are incredibly powerful, capable of learning and adapting throughout our lives. This is due to a phenomenon called neuroplasticity, which means that the connections between neurons in our brains can change in response to our perceptions, beliefs and experiences. (Please learn more on the implications of neuroplasticity)
So, what does this mean for you? It means that you have much greater powers than you were taught to believe you have. That you actually have the power to change your brains growth and development and literally improve your own abilities and your results in life. By engaging in certain intentional activities and positive habits, you can strengthen the specific neural connections that are important for learning, memory, and creating a new paradigm shifts in your own life .
Tools for Overcoming Social Disadvantages
Here are some tools and strategies that you can use to harness the power of neuroplasticity and overcome many of the challenges you face:
1. Practice mindfulness:
Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware of your thoughts and feelings. It has been shown to be grounding, improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance creativity. Try spending a few minutes each day practicing mindfulness, whether through meditation or simply taking a few deep breaths and focusing on the present moment while being aware of your breathing.
2. Learn a new skill:
When you learn a new skill, you are creating new neural pathways in your brain. YES! This can help improve your cognitive and metacognitive abilities and make you better equipped to handle challenges. Whether it’s learning a new language, taking up a musical instrument, or trying a new sport, challenging yourself to learn something new can have a big impact on your overall welfare but especially in your brain.
3. Challenge yourself:
It can be tempting to stick with what’s comfortable and familiar, but pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone is key to growth and development. When you challenge yourself, you create new neural connections and strengthen existing ones. Whether it’s taking on a new project at work, speaking up in a meeting, or trying something that scares you, challenging yourself can help you build resilience and improve your abilities.
Connect with others:
Humans are social creatures, and connecting with others is essential for our well-being. When we engage in social interactions, our brains release chemicals like oxytocin that promote feelings of happiness and connection. So, make an effort to connect with others, whether through joining a club or group, volunteering, or simply reaching out to a friend.
We know that navigating an unfair society can be difficult, but it is You who must learn to believe in your ability to overcome the challenges you face and press on. By harnessing the power of neuroplasticity and engaging in mindful activities that promote brain growth and development, you can improve your level of abilities, build resilience, and achieve your goals more rapidly than most would ever believe is possible.
Treat yourself and others With Love and don’t just hope for a better and more equal future for all, instead, build it …
Leave future generations better than what we’ve left you. See Greatness on You, Believe and have faith that the world and the universe are working in your favor.
Sincerely
The Unfair Society or aka The Higher YOU!

#Tedfunding is a Black Father of 5 Black Girls and is passionate about bringing powerful Life Hacks and offering options that drastically reduces the wealth inequality gap for black girls everywhere. To do this effectively we must provide them with a Greater vision of themselves combined with effective strategies and actionable solutions.
Q: Where and How do we begin to realistically start to curve the narrative for our minority girls and rapidly reverse systemic effects thus closing various inequity gaps simultaneously?
A: Mindset: By helping black and brown girls to truly see a clear path forward in Emotional Intelligence. By giving them some of the same life tools that the Billionaires know to give their kids to get them started in Life easily. Here are some of those tools…
To All Parents of Black Girls…
Above all start your own enlightenment process. Check out the videos below to help support your own Personal enlightenment and empowerment processes to create a solid foundation for what you will be teaching them.
#1 is to Teach them Love 💟. Love of thyself and of others. This helps to frame what our children will see as important. We cant control what happens but we can help shape the perspective they have of themselves and the role or impact they believe they have in this world. In fact it is a crucial part of ones identity and the critical part of change. When we adopt and embrace growth mindset vs the fixed mindset. Remember that Learning to Love yourself and others is best taught to youth through example. We must be the foundational change and start to be intentionally selective about what we feed our mind body and spirit. So our girls will do the same about what they are feeding their minds.
2. Learn to See & Appreciate The Good : Start to see the good or at least the Teachable Moments in almost all things and in nearly all situations. Even in the tough times (especially during the difficult times) there are tons of Lessons to still be very grateful for. To start, Watch 5-10 minute gratitude, Growth Mindset or related self Empowerment videos and discuss some of these very powerful and paradigm shifting videos together with your minority kids. Let them see how attitude and mindset does impact the outcomes we desire
3. Take immediate Action: Propose a Family Day/Hour – even if it’s only once or twice per week. Be intentional do your research and Watch powerful educational videos with purposeful intent. Often times these videos will actually reveal a different way of looking at situation or life circumstances and offer new perspectives on optional creative solutions and supports. For example Parents should be building on their family Wealth and teaching their kids to do the same.
