Half grace, half menace.🤭

Where it gets better
This is so embarrassing. Like black women/men, love yourselves first. Your hatred for Olandria won’t make you feel any better about yourself.

There is a quiet power in deciding to stop forcing the plan and trust the process. Olandria Carthen, runner-up of Love Island USA Season 7, recently shared how the hardest season of her life became the foundation for the one she is living now: “When I wasn’t in my winning season, that was the darkest part of my life. The most lowest point I’ve ever been. Being post-graduation and exploring a new city and a new career and only having just enough for bills, and you got a little bit toeat and all those things. But I really think, although those were like the toughest points of my life, they were very vital to what I’m doing right now. I really feel like I was relearning the exact same lesson over and over and over. Now I asked like, ‘God, what am I missing? Like what am I doing? Like what like, you know?’ And in the leading, I would always write what I want my life to look like, with all these things. And I always say this little joke, like: ‘If you ever want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. Tell him your plans.’ And I remember going into the year of 2025, I’m like, ‘You know what, God? I give it all to you.’ I brought the year in at church. I didn’t make a mood board, I didn’t make anything. I brought my year in at church, prayed, left it at the altar, went home and went to sleep. A few months later I got the call about the show. God gave me every single thing that I’ve wanted ever in my life all in one year, because I stayed still, I took my hands off the wheel and I let Him take control over everything in my life. So if you find yourself being in that season where you don’t feel like everything is going right, whoever you pray to, I’m not pushing it on anybody. Talk to yourself, put it out in the universe. And I didn’t even realize how much I was putting out in the universe until people found my old tweets. I was literally tweeting my life! Everything that I have said, I’ve tweeted, has happened already. So I didn’t realize how much I was actually putting out there in the universe, but the moment I decided to stay still and not really necessarily tell God like, ‘This is what I want, this is what my life...’ He already has it written out. He already has exact what your life will look like. So I sat back and let Him do His work, and honestly, I’m living my dream right now. So that’s exactly what I did, I stayed still.” What stands out is not only the outcome, but the discipline of the pause. She does not frame surrender as passivity. She frames it as releasing control after years of effort, naming what she wanted, and then allowing the path to unfold without constant revision. For anyone in a season that feels stalled, her account is a reminder that the years that look empty on the outside are often the ones doing the quiet work.

She is actually scary. The moment a black woman from Love Island leaves her white male partner she becomes their biggest hater. The fact that this has happened 3 times is concerning and people keep encouraging this biracial to use her platform to virtually harass black women.
Stanship aside, people like Tigs scare me. To claim to love and support someone, then become their biggest hater is diabolical. It’s fine if you no longer resonate with them but for your whole life to revolve around hating them is scary. She’s now done it with Cindy, Whit and Ola

haters in the quotes but mind you michelle obama and jessica williams on a podcast mentioned how olandria’s impact sparked convos about race and beauty standards in the U.S.…so YES she is breaking boundaries and representing her community even on LI

Speaking at CultureCon in New York City, Olandria says that “she knew she was representing more than just herself [on Love Island], but Black women from all around the world”

I get what you mean, but who should post her then? We can’t keep saying this account or that account shouldn’t post her anymore. It’s obvious it’s not even about who posts her at this point,those losers will find her anywhere. I hope he and others keep posting her. Let them choke
