A short YouTube monologue (speaker: Anwar White) advising against dating while unemployed. The speaker argues that unemployment creates an imbalance in relationships, urges listeners—especially overwhelmed single mothers—to secure employment, set boundaries, and be self-reliant ("be your own Shero"). The tone is direct, admonitory, and supportive toward self-sufficiency.

Alila said, do you think you need to be in a specific financial situation to date or have any other things?
I think that you shouldn't be dating if you're unemployed.
I think that if you're unemployed, any relationship that you get into will be imbalanced.
Your job is to get. Your job is to get a job so that you can sustain yourself and you won't need him, whoever that is.
To save you. A lot of women are looking to be saved. It is not a man's job to save you. He will not save you. It is your job to save yourself. You have to be your own Shero.
And I want to say this with love and respect for a lot of those single moms out there that are completely overwhelmed, that are looking for a father for their children and not a partner for themselves.
That message is for you as well.
Don't do it.
Don't do it. If you don't. If you don't got a job, get a job. If your life is overwhelming you, we have to put things in place, boundaries, things like that.
To make sure that you're running your life and your life is not running you.
