600,000 Black women pushed out of the workforce. A new report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) examines why.
But I believe there is hardly a Black woman in America who needs a report to tell her that something is happening.
There is an all-out assault on Black women in America.
It is almost as if the secret is out.
What secret, you ask?
- The secret of our power.
- The depth of our intellect.
- The strength of our resilience.
- And, most importantly, the anointing God has placed upon our lives.
We are builders. We are fierce leaders. We are educators, researchers, inventors, healers, communicators, advocates, and fighters. We have been creating, nurturing, leading, solving problems, and rebuilding what has been broken for generations.
We know what we carry.
And the world knows it, too.
Yet instead of recognizing, respecting, and properly valuing what Black women bring to our families, communities, workplaces, and nation, too many of us are experiencing dismissal, demotion, displacement, and doors being closed.
But perhaps the question is not simply, “Why is this happening?”
Perhaps the greater question is:
“What is God calling us to do now?”
And I believe the answer is this:
- Return to our roots.
- Return to what we know.
- Return to our Source.
- Return to our Manufacturer—the One who created us, gifted us, equipped us, and gave us purpose.
- Return to God.
Because when everything around us is shaking, God remains steady.
When we are overwhelmed, He is our peace.
When we don’t know what to do next, He is our direction.
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19)
And when we need protection—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially—there is no better place to run than to the One who created us.
Proverbs 3:5–6 tells us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
So instead of spending all of our energy trying to figure out why these things are happening…
Instead of immediately trying to pick ourselves back up, find another job, start another business, reinvent ourselves, or figure out how to fix everything on our own…
STOP.
Take a breath.
And seek God first.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
What things?
The very things we are often exhausting ourselves trying to accomplish in our own strength.
God never intended for us to carry the weight of our purpose without Him.
Isaiah 55:6 says:
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.”
And 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that His grace is sufficient for us and that His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
Jeremiah 33:3 says:
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
Maybe it is time to do something different.
Maybe it is time to stop asking only, “What should I do next?”
And start asking:
- “God, what are You saying?”
- “Why did You create me?”
- “What is Your purpose for my life?”
- “What assignment have You given me for this next season?”
And then—perhaps most importantly—
LISTEN.
- Don’t rush the answer.
- Don’t allow fear to make the decision for you.
- Don’t allow rejection to convince you that you have been forgotten.
- Don’t allow a closed door to make you believe that your purpose has been canceled.
- And don’t confuse a season of transition with a season of defeat.
God may be repositioning you.
The loss may be real.
The disappointment may be real.
The uncertainty may be real.
But so is God.
And if He created you, called you, gifted you, and assigned purpose to your life, then He already knows what comes next.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to seek Him.
This is not about simply getting another job.
It is not merely about starting another business.
It is not about proving yourself to people who failed to recognize your value.
It is about discovering what God is doing in this next season of your life—and positioning yourself to participate in it.
It is time to seek God.
It is time to return to purpose.
It is time to walk boldly into the destiny He has preordained for you.
And if you don’t know where to begin, you don’t have to begin alone.
