Tanasha Donna has shared an empowering message encouraging women to break free from societal norms that promote enduring suffering in relationships.
The mother of one stressed that not all men are the same, noting that there are many good men out there who rarely get the recognition they deserve because toxic and narcissistic men often dominate the spotlight.
She urged women to stop falling for manipulative behavior and learn to distinguish between genuine love and toxic love, for their well-being and future generations.
“I want to address this to women because we often end up receiving the shorter end of the stick,” Tanasha began. “It’s important to understand that some men live for chaos and will push you to your limits, making you act out of character simply because that’s who they are.”
She further cautioned women to avoid falling for the tactics used by such men, saying, “When you’re dealing with a textbook narcissist, they thrive off chaos and drama. They can never maintain peace and stability in a relationship for long. You might feel like they can’t let you go in the name of love, but the truth is they don’t love you.”

Tanasha then explained why narcissists keep their partners around, even when they don’t genuinely care for them. “You’re either benefiting them in some way, or they know that no one else will put up with their behavior like you do. So they stay because they know you’ll always be there, no matter what they do.”
She called for a shift in the way we teach future generations, saying, “Let’s normalize teaching our daughters, sons, sisters, and brothers that this is not love.”
Concluding her message, Tanasha stated that the behaviors she described were simply manipulation and abuse, regardless of how they may appear through “rose-colored glasses.”
She pointed out, “In many African cultures, there’s this stereotypical way of thinking—enduring years of disrespect, tolerating constant boundary violations, and being told by our parents and grandparents, ‘Stick around; all men are the same.’ I guarantee you, that is far from the truth.”
“There are so many good men out there, but because of societal norms, narcissistic men are ruining it for the good ones,” she added.
