ms-janay: Nia Long had her first son at 30 and eleven years later, she had another one. She recently said something that resounded with me- it made my affirmations vision board. ‘The medical [profession] tries to tell every woman, ‘Have your babies before 40 because you shouldn’t have children after 40.’ Society tells us, ‘Get married before 30, because no man wants a woman after 30.’ You are not half the woman you’re gonna be until you turn 30. You’re not even half of that woman yet. So I think if we’d just take our time as women, and do what comes natural to us and for us, we would make fewer mistakes’

“I am a 53 year-old writer who can remember being a 10 year-old writer and who expects someday to be an 80 year old writer. I’m also comfortably asocial—a hermit in the middle of Seattle—a pessimist if I’m not careful, a feminist, a black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive.”

J.K Rowling: Billionaire to millionaire

“One of the world’s wealthiest women, J.K Rowling, has given so much money to charity she can no longer claim billionaire status.

The Harry Potter author has fallen down the Forbes rich list because of her charitable giving, the business magazine said.”

Just one more reason why JK Rowling will forever be one of my heroes.

HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

I MEAN SERIOUSLY

I love this woman so hard.

Relevant. I’m watching Harry Potter right now, lol.

I apologize for what it clearly an unhealthy obsession on my part with this video, I just can’t help it - it’s that awesome.

But I digress: on top of being visually incredible, it has a political message I can absolutely get behind. It’s a perfect “fuck you” to Saudi Arabia’s oppressive laws that keep women from driving.
