Elay Understood

https://youtu.be/uiJCDw780U8 Brief Blurb of what this video is about. Okay, my first video in this series is called: Colorism Pt.1 Seeing Myself Inwardly – The Introduction and the definition of colorism. I didn’t know colorism was a thing I didn’t know racism was a thing I didn’t even know that people had different colors Like if there were different shades of skins For example, like black, white, yellow, brown, peach and so on It wasn’t until I got to 2nd grade then I realized that I was black I knew I was black as a race but didn’t know that I was also black as in a so-called secondary race/class of people...(frown face) It wasn’t until my alleged family and I moved out from the “hood” and into the suburbs that I realized that I was black. Not only did I get well informed that I was black. I was deeply informed of exactly what kind of black person I really classified into. In second grade, I learned I was “light-skinned” Instead of le...

Elay TV is a platform that offers variety. Yes, I know and am aware that having a "Variety" channel as a platform can and IS challenging. Yes, it is difficult not to have one specific concept to represent my YouTube channel. However, it is a challenge I am willing to take! Nine years in and can't wait to get to ten! I think I may plan a party celebrating my years in the Game of YouTube. I've been at this (YouTube) longer than my first job I got while in High School.  Speaking of goals, wow, it is SURE nice to get that out of my life. What I'm referring to is outdoing my past and shining better in my future. Like I said in the paragraph before, my first job was acquire while in High School. It was the Bridgeport Public Library located in Saginaw MI. I loved that job but things got sour and I had to make a personal decision to leave. 😒📖📗📘My memory serves me right to believe that I held the position as a "Library Page" at the Bridgeport Public Libra...

On the first of January, I kinda made my goals to get 5,000 subscribers on YouTube by January 1st, 2021! I aimed high, so I don't feel bad or dissipointed in myself that the original amount wasnt achieced. I made it to 4,000! 🥳 Taking it one bit at a time. So very happy to be here at this moment. My husband and son are both so happy for me. I am doing my best to grow my social media platform all across the board. Personally speaking, the reflection of my YouTube success is based on how far up the ladder I want to go. As of right now, I beleive I am successful. Briefcase in my hand and a Pink power suit on! That's how I feel about myself and my overall social media platforms. What a glorious way to start out the year!😍🥳🥰😎

Hi🙌🏽🤗 Am I the only Blogger having troubles with pinning their articles on the too of the page? In the past, like years ago, doing as such was fairly easy...like in 2014 or so. Now, that I'm back on in year 2020, things have changed. 🖥️🌺📍📌🧷 I even took the time to inquire this notion directly to the Blogger "submit a comment section" I know that's not exactly what it is called. Oh, I know! It's called the "feedback" box. 📝 Glad I was able to freely ask my question and know that they will reply to me also.😊🤗Blogger is Cool! 🖥️🌺📍📌🧷 Took forward in motion to Google up the answers for my problem and was directed to several answers leading towards the same answers regarding my Blogger Question. The majority of bloggers inquiring about the same problem with all answers dating back from like 2016.  🖥️🌺📍📌🧷 Now, I've found a few articles that gave me encouragement towards finding the right way to get this done. I will include ...

The way she made the biscuits made my stomach hurl. The kitchen was dirty, her hair wasn't combed and the girl didn't even have a hair net on. I went to the manager and she looked the same. The same as the one chick serving me. Wall on the clock said it was time to leave but I had to stay despite of everything.  Despite of everything because in a few ticks and a few there was someone coming in to see me. Coming in to see me. Lil ole me. Made me happy and beyond the words of happy but the thing is as my butt sinks slowly into the leather cushion and the taps of the computer keys fill the screen as sweet words collide. Collide as the ice is doing while blending into the warm cola of my thinned out drink. Thinned out drink? Or should I say watered down. Dang, my drink turning flat.  Damn. Watered down like the funky finger waves in that ladies head who's sitting across from me. Dressed in all Purple, over there looking like freaking Barney. Got-damn! Got-daamm! GOT.....wel...

I was listening to the radio one night and a lot of songs came on playing back to back about love, pain, tragedy, loss and it made me wonder what in the world was the radio DJ going through because it was summer time, the weather outside was flawless and all day during his session he just played songs that made you just want to cry. Cry me a river like Justin Timberlake. I didn't even have a boyfriend but I was hovering around at the radio with 12 boxes of tissue crying like I just lost somebody. What I should have done was called out there to the radio station and had that moron play something more uptempo anything up tempo. Like a Disney song that Mary Poppins song or something but I didn't call and I continued  to cry. Yesterday, the day before that ,the weeks before that the radio was wack when he was on it so maybe it was just my insides for- warning me that radio from that point forward was going to continually be stupid and lame. At least on that channel. Bye bye musi...

Love the skin you're in. Update: 02/21/2021 I remember making this post a little bit. Like the part when choosing a picture. The reason this picture was chosen is the energy I got from viewing the picture. Seeing the black, contrasting image in my mind, right now gives me a smile. A smile that slowly pulls across my beautiful face. (I love my face) Thank you GOD for my face. (side note). The young woman in the photo is an example of self-acceptance. The photo states that she is who she is and that she is quite comfortable in herself and within her body. Not only does her smile say it, her shirt reads it as well. People, of Blogger Vill, I want to thank you for trusting the process in accepting your life and who you are. This is the best freedom one can have. I thank you for your time.

What am i  going to do now...? it's time to go to lunch and I'm not even hungry !! Oh, what's a girl to do? Now, tell me what's a hungry little girl to do? I brought my crackers, and my freeze-pops mealed. Waaah! (frown face) They melted in the car. I had them in the glove compartment, was hiding them from Charlie and I forgot them. Yeah,I forgot about them. Charlie's gonna be mad with me, yeah Charlie is gonna be upset, because that's his car and not mines. But I will rebuttal and answer with a smart Alix answer by telling him that it was his fault for even letting me borrow the car so I could take my puppy named Choppa-style, to the vets. Which was all indeed true. We arranged that I drop Charlie off to work and I take the car so I could take Choppa-style to the vets. He's got something stuck in his belly and its causing him so much grief. (Frown face) I knew I shouldn't of fed him those extra large, extra grand cupcakes. ....lol its not re...

This is a story or should I say, "tail" (pun intended) of a precious kitty that goes by the name Tuffy.  How he lives up to the name on a daily basis is shear wonderment. Effortlessly walking through life with hardly a care in the world and showing next to little concern for his owners who seem not to want him around anyways, Tuffy continues to do what he does best.  That is until one day he brought home one too many snacks from outside. Paws down, this cat has the beat of the street streaming through his lively claws. As he unruly takes life by the reigns and commands what he wants or (clearing my throat) claims he deserves in life. Taking nothing fur (pun intended) granted, this furry feline puts his owners in quite a funny predicament as one if his many snacks leaves a long trail if messy evidence. His snacking voyages unfortunately lead him to be suspect for a possible bunny rabbit murder! Tuffy the tuff kitty is now facing a dilemma to live inside or outside the fa...

The Fourth Amendment is an Awesome Freedom   Let us take the time out and genuinely say a big thank you to our Forefathers for establishing the Constitution.  If it was not for them and their devout persistence towards such an amazing cause, many of us would more than likely be in a bad way or for some, an even far much worse way.  On a lighter note before proceeding, here is a little snippet of encouragement to the ones in the struggle, let’s be glad to even exist and remember, as long as there is breath in your body, that means there is still life, which in turn, represents hope.  You’re situations will get better!  Keep fighting the good fight like our Forefathers.  Way to go guys!     The Fourth Amendment rocks, in the opinion of many people because it allows the freedom of privacy to all civil people across the United States.  Meaning that we can have the freedom and privacy, we all so deserve within our homes, to which ...

Call me anytime is an understatement Cuz when I called u one time U seemed agitated People don't care bout cho feelings, yo Espically when it doesn't FIT in they schedule. Im so miserable So lonely, so I took the time to see a psychologist But it didn't do me no beddah So now im playing Russian Roulette with a stolen gun.

I think love is real. REAL love, TRUE love. Don't you? I remember a commercial on tv, a Wendy's (fast food restaurant) commercial and the jingle that played right before it went off was the voice of a couple guys singing:"You'll know when its real." So, what do you think?  -That I'm comparing fast food to real love? WELL... (looking from left to right), maybe. Want to know why? Just picture this in your mind....all of the many and dozens of fast food chains stringing together amd along ALL AROUND THE WORLD shouting,  and screaming out to you: "me, me, oh PLEAAAASE PICK ME!! " Well having said that just think and imagine all of those restaurants being people females and males they're all saying pick me somebody love me! Waaaaaaaaah!  I can vouch and say that for the record, McDonald's is on the "high demand list" and so EVERYBODY and their mothers wants to load up the station wagon and floor it on over to the golden arches.

Update: 02/21/2021 I don't even want to really talk about this video in depth. I have to type a blurb her in order to get monotized. This video is a few years old and I don't want to talk about the past in regards to this particular video. I will have to make an entire new blog for this probably. Maybe just as I have done now, I can simply come back an add addtional information alongst with this blog. Yes!🥳 that is a good ideal. - I know for you there have been many times in life when coming back to old topics that you are so over can be difficult to talk about. As for me, it is not because I don't want to go back into my past becasue it may bring up some hurt. In this moment (as I breath in only a little) My present state of mind and being is so far apart from that particular moment, I do not want to remove myself from this breathing moment that only the Lord could bring to me. I want to finally take time and enjoy a long awaited for moment in which I was always h...
