So I bought Amber Rose’s How to Be a Bad Bitch and posted it on my Facebook along with the caption “I put the cape on for Muva”. I fell in love with her shortly after Kanye fell out of love with her. And I will explain why I chose that caption in this very post. But the reason I decided to write and address my caption is because my older cousin commented on it. Why make hoes into heroes? I was completely taken aback. How could I possibly respond to that? He had a point but at the same time I disagreed. What makes her a hoe? I already knew what he would say but I was curious. What else is she famous for? He avoided my question by asking another. Typical man. Anyways, I felt compelled to answer his question and share it with the world. If you ask me why make a hoe into a hero, I will ask why not? I fucking abhor double standards. The world thinks they know a person based solely off of social media. What makes you think you know someone’s life enough to label them? In reality, you only know what has been shown. So how can you call Amber Rose a hoe? Yeah she was in a couple, few relationships with celebrities and was formerly a stripper, but does that make her a hoe? OKAY. AND SO WHAT IF SHE WAS?? I’m not going to say hoeness can be deleted at some point after enough good deeds. But I will say that people can change and be reformed. Also, there is nothing wrong with being someone’s hero. But you have to accept that even heroes are not perfect. Amber went from stripping to promoting equal rights and women’s empowerment. I think that is a great message to the young women currently stripping. It doesn’t have to end there. You can be delivered from that situation and become great. Some women can’t relate to Michelle Obama or Beyonce. They relate to Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, and, yes, Amber Rose. My younger sister and I had a conversation awhile back that stuck with me. She told me she looked up to me. I was her hero. “You told me the only person you can depend on is yourself.” In hindsight, I said that from a very bitter and selfish place. But she had taken it as motivation. My sister excelled because of something I said to her, and according to the world’s standards, I am a hoe. Am I not worthy enough to be a hero? We need as many heroes as we can get in today’s world. We need positive messages even if it’s coming from someone with a tainted past. I support Amber Rose because even after the way Kanye’s fans mistreated her after THEIR breakup, she’s still here. With her head high. And that is a powerful message to me. No matter what they do or say to you because of your past it doesn’t matter because you are not who you were. And you can still be who you wish you is, like Kanye said. So, yes, hoes and anyone else with a not-so-perfect past can become heroes. And you don’t have to be a hero for everyone. But as long as you affect at least one person’s life in a positive way, just one, you have fulfilled your purpose. Fuck everyone else and their opinions. Be you and be great at being you. And share not only your success stories, but also your downfalls. Everyone’s journey is different and can unknowingly be a lesson to someone else. Hopefully, this answered your question, Rodney.
With Love
A reformed hoe
