Rant 1
Jina Kaye
I have always lived my life without falling into a type:
A nerd
A princess
A rebel
A jock
Or a weird girl
Not even
The Urkel
The BAP
The thug
The supreme athlete
Or the diva
And I was taught to never cage myself under a stereotype.
Be your own person, they say—
Who said?
Create your own style…
Do you—forget everyone else.
So why is the world so full of people
who fall into types…
or want to stereotype you?
Most people believe that if one does retail,
then one must be stupid:
No education
Can’t count money
No sense of self
People pleaser
So when they see someone who can do these things, they wonder…
Why are you here?
When people see me, no matter the circumstances, they see me as a
BAP or naïve or just plain stuck up. They don’t know who I am, what
I come from, where I’ve been or how much baggage I carry. They just
assume I am easy to manipulate—and I am not. Once that is established,
they start to talk about me and hate on me. All I’ll ever say is “hate on,”
because I only change for me.
Many people like to change others. They feel like it’s their calling…
their goal in life.
I love it when men say women try to change them. I love it more when men try to change women. It’s best when women say, “I hate it when men try to change me, like I am some damn coat.”
I don’t like it when people pigeon-hole me. I came into this world backwards and crying. When I was through crying, the nurse smacked me to make me cry again. I smacked her back—apparently, I’m a fighter. I hold that story in my heart because my Mom was proud to tell it.
The reason I say all of this is because I like to do things for Jina.
My poems are about my life.
My acting is an interpretation of my experiences.
My dancing is the joy coming from my soul.
My singing is about giving my heart a voice.
My painting in about creating a vision of the many worlds I envision.
And they are not meant to be used and manipulated for the sake of the mighty dollar bill.
My art is my calling…meant to heal the wounded and give voice to people who cannot speak.
So instead of trying to blend voices...
Stick with your own.
And do what you were born to do—
People may come with you, but—
They shall do them, not ride thy coattails.
Remember,
Even blended voices are created by individuals.
You may share the same space,
But the journey to getting there is always different.
