A short YouTube monologue (by Anwar White) offering dating advice for tall Black/brown women. The speaker reframes concerns about needing a taller partner as a safety and self-confidence issue, argues that feeling feminine is the woman's responsibility rather than the man’s, and gives practical/attitudinal advice (e.g., wear heels, be confident, ride amusement-park rides) to embrace height and agency.

Kennedy said, as a tall black woman. Six two, dating is so hard, girl. Date them all.

Like many of us, especially if you're a black or brown woman, you're tripping because you want a man to be bigger than you, because you want to be feminine. And that's not a man's job to make you feel feminine. That's your job to come from the gates in your feminine way.
Yeah, honey, six two, Put some heels and stunt on those mofos, girl. What you're doing is you're going to Six Flags and going on all the dangerous rides that I have a tall expectation or rule. Girl. Go to Disneyland, girl. Ride all the rides. No shade, girl, but a small world. After all, that ride's really fun.
Nadina said, when I watch Pop the Balloon, all the ladies turn down men because of high.
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I understand it. When you are a black woman, a brown woman in this world, and everybody is coming at you, you don't feel safe. And so in your head, what you're thinking is, let me find a partner that is going to allow me to feel safe. This is a safety issue. It has nothing to do with height. But a lot of women make it mean height, and it's not.
So I want to offer that to anyone that needs to hear it.
