Recently, Eboni K. Williams, a popular internet figure and former Real Housewife, created waves by announcing to the world that she chose to be a Single Mother via IVF.
That’s right. You read it correctly. She didn’t end up a single mother by mistake. She didn’t “choose the wrong guy.” She wasn’t the victim of some deadbeat or a guy who ended up cheating on her which led to her outcome as a single mother.
Eboni K. Williams willingly chose to bring a child into this world without a father. This is a problem.
Recently, the R&B singer Ne-Yo gave an interview where he criticized parents for letting their children determine what gender they are. He asked, “When did parents stop parenting? If you let a kid decide whether he wants to eat sugar all day, he’s going to eat sugar.”
There was some controversy on top of the controversy, because it looked like Ne-Yo put out an apology to the LGBT community…but then Ne-Yo put out a video clarifying his stance on the matter.

Here…I had some thoughts on the matter, pretty much calling out the elephant in the room. I think that sometimes, a lot of us don’t say anything because we feel like we don’t have a place to say anything. I don’t have children. So, what do I know? Right? Not to mention, the fact that so many companies are pushing the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Ideology where it can be risky to speak the Truth.
