A black woman who puts herself first. Divestors walk away from toxic behaviors in the black community.
Said toxicity can include: nonreciprocal struggle love for the sake of "black love", being activist warriors for a group of men who don't protect them, baby momma culture, etc. Divestors avoid toxic black people (particularly the men, who are black women's number one victimizers. "Unicorns" are so rare that vetting is not worth it).
A divestor is not male-identified or conventionally "woke" like many black women can be. She is not bound to any unwritten rules of "Blackistan". Divestors care deeply about black women as a demographic (especially in the context of black femicide + DV), but may avoid some individual black women due to their proximity to toxic black male worship.
Many divestors date interracially and leave the hood, but it's a myth that divestment's ethos is to date a white man. A divestor can be: happily single, childfree, w/ a Latino or Asian man, a co-parenting mom, middle class, minimalist, and even a lesbian.
Divestors have a growth, wellness, and self-preservation mindset. Healing/healed from traumas related to the black community. Young divestors tend to focus on their educational goals. Older divestors tend to focus more on their physical health and newfound freedom.
A divestor loves her blackness, but not the BS that comes with it. She is not a tribalist and knows "black power" is about black men.
She can be from anywhere in the diaspora.
Divestor's Sister: "You ackin' funny because you dating out. You think you better than us with all them degrees. You ain't on Instagram no mo', I don't know what you be doing. Octavius been trying to get with you for the longest. He ain't got no churren and he ain't in any run-ins with the law"
Divestor: "Is that the bare minimum? That doesn't make any person a 'good man'. I'm with someone treats me well, has an equivalent educational level, has real interests and hobbies outside of social media/rap/sneakers/weed/hustling, and doesn't have weird views on how our relationship dynamic should be just because I'm a black woman. My man cooks for me, admires my accomplishments rather than compete with me, and is doing very well at providing infrastructure for our future life. I stopped being on Instagram because you kept posting celebrities and dusty men with podcasts.

1. A "singer", who was first seen on the MTV show "My Super Sweet 16". In this episode, she invited a whole bunch of people in Harlem and all that crazy shit. Since then, she's been signed to Interscope Records and made a single called "Google Me", which showcases crappy graphics, and Teyana giving little boys and girls ice cream.
2. A word to describe any conceited, Black American Princess who has never stepped foot into a real hood.
3. A perfect example of what Oprah would look like in her late-teens, if she had bicycles, money, and hair grease.
Teyana Taylor: I'm the TEEN PRESIDENT!11!1!!!one
"YO! Teyana's party was awesome! Look at the bike she got for her birthday. A BIKE!!11!one"
"Wow, her party must have been great, it was the talk of Harlem! Too bad I couldn't see it. I wasn't invited! I was the one who gave her my pencil in Geography class!"
