There’s pride in being a Wino. We are a strong and powerful community. We are a family. Abandoning or unsubscribing from Tasha and her brand is NOT the answer. If you think about it, it’s like destroying something that we helped build. I don’t tear down things I helped build. Only a foolish woman tears her house down. I take a lot of pride in who we are as a collective and who we support.

We want to all live in a world where we have freedoms to make the best decisions that best align with our lives and the lives of our family. We all SHOULD do that. It’s not Tasha’s choice for President that hurt me, it was her reaction to the hurt of Winos abandoning her because of it. Lots of us are still here and aren’t going anywhere and the others will be back.

We are connected even though the majority of us have never met. If you’re in a chat or comment section of any blog or podcast, the moment the wine glass go up, we acknowledge each other and should anything get out of line we got each other’s back in the chat…that’s how strong we are as a community.

That pride and strength was built off the backs of Tasha and Cheickna. Their intelligence, dreams, goals, creativity, entrepreneurial, and innovative spirit is what makes us stay on top and connected more than any other community whether it be the Beehive, Barbs, Swifties, Bardi Gang…though some of you all are involved in those communities as well…but the Winos are on a whole different level. There’s more to us.

Because of Tasha lots of us have grown in business, self love, confidence, health and health awareness…Tasha has given lots of us sound advice for our personal lives and businesses. She has inspired and encouraged some of us individually as well as collectively.

Tasha and Cheickna have been here for us and to walk away from them is not showing them the love and care they’ve shown us all of these years.

My previous post, which I deleted, was the communication part of all of this and to try to make sense of it all. In any family, communication is always key so that everyone knows how each other feels.

Tasha is hurt, some of us are hurting, but the love that we all have for one another will get us through. If that weren’t true we wouldn’t all be here expressing ourselves and working through this.

Tasha you didn’t let us down. But, some of us let you down and I’m sorry. You and CHEICK provided a space for us to share our concerns and instead we were all out there on the social media streets in comments and chats tearing you apart and embrassing you by stating “We’re unsubscribing on all platforms” for the world to see.

We should’ve came here or emailed you to share our concerns like we’ve been doing all of these years.

You are always available for us. And, what happened in our house should have stayed in our house. We must do better because this is NOT who we are. We are not a rogue community and we don’t flip and turn our back on the ones who have created a community that we can call family.

This is the only family some of us have where we are not judged…yet some of us judged you. And that was unfair. I’m sorry that you have to feel this. 😔😢

Wine. Gossip. And Comedy is not all we’re about..we are also about the business of loving one another. I hope somehow..someway…you can feel that love.

I will take on the full responsibility of every Wino and say “I apologize. I’m sorry we let YOU down. And I am sorry that WE hurt you in that way. You didn’t deserve the backlash to begin with. You have nothing to feel bad about. You wronged no one. We all voted our interest. And we must all realize that no President is more powerful than God. Nothing God don’t want to happen is going to happen. If we all rest in that I think we will have less fears about who will be in the White House moving forward. Cause that’s all this is really about…our fears.”

The very reason we love you can’t be the same reason we leave the brand. I have always admired your ability to share your truths and voice your opinions no matter how different or wide range that opinion can be. It makes you who you are which is an AMAZING human being!

You ALWAYS say the Winos are right no matter what and maybe so but not when we exercise our right to tell you what to do that will better benefit you and your family.

We don’t have the right to unlock your door, come in your house, and get to moving furniture around. We’re not going to let anyone do it to us and we shouldn’t be doing that to you.

I love you, Tasha. God bless you. I’ll be thinking of you and praying for your healing. Can someone please post here to let us know you’re okay after your procedure? 🙏🏾

Meanwhile, I think we should all just take a moment and BREATHE. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
