Saving Our Daughters (SOD) initiatives focus on reaching thousands of teen girls and youth across the country with our celebrity, corporate, and community partners making it possible to spark positive activism.
Our words and actions model empowers teens to forward the mission as well as further ignite their inner purpose individually or by leading a group at their home, school, or community.
While I’m sure MiMi means well, I’m NOT so sure that she doesn’t need “saving” herself.
At any rate, watch Mimi’s PSA video for “Saving Our Daughters…
VIDEO: Mimi Faust for Saving Our Daughters
“Chile, I don’t know Miss Mimi. I feel some kinda of way about this one. You can’t tell me nothing about saving our daughters and you can’t even save yourself. I’m going to leave it at that… ” ~ FunkyDineva
My thoughts exactly! Isn’t Mimi the one who’s willing to play 2nd string to Mr. Joseline all for the sake of keeping her claim to Stevie J’s community peen?
What do you think about Mimi’s short & sweet PSA?
Good for her..ppl cant judge her..we all have been a MiMi in our lives..
I can and I shall…here goes;
Yes, we all have a Mimi in our lives. We may have even BEEN Mimi once in our lives. Here’s my problem with her. Yesterday, I came home & turned on my TV to this. I watched it, though I promised I never would. This chick actually said that she stuck by Stevie J because of her daughter, and if not for her they would’ve been over a long time ago. How DARE she blame her daughter for her stupidity? Women like her make me sick. So it’s okay to show your daughter that a man can take you for granted, cheat left and right and stomp all over your heart, so long as he’s in the home for the kids? It’s okay for her to see her mom stay in a miserable relationship than live content as a single woman, all for the sake of the father being in the same home as the kids? Not only is this a fucked up message, it’s also a slow, emotional abuse for all children involved.
MESSAGE!!
This is nothing new, women have been doing this forever. She is not blaming her daughter, she just wanted her daughter to grow with a father because she never had one. This does hurt the children, but emotional abuse is just as vicious of a cycle as physical abuse and Stevie has emotionally abused her. Some people have attachment issues, and it is not easy for them to walk away even when it is in their best interest.
Her interest is about as relevant as a discarded piece of shi*ty tissue. Her daughter’s well being is what’s relevant. Though I’m sure it’s an issue, she said nothing about her background in the portion I watched; she only spoke on her daughter, and that’s what I’m basing my comments on.
I so agree with must of the comments that have been posted about Mimi. She is coming off as a weak insecure woman who does not know her self-worth. It sad how she’s using her daughter as an excuse to remain in this worthless relationship with this worthless man who treats her like shit and disrespects time & time again. Yes, it true that most men do or have cheated when it comes to relationships, but Stevie J level of disrespect towards her is on a whole different level of blatant in-your-face disrespect!!! He doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass about her. All her fussing & crying feeds more into his arrogant ego, while she’s confusing it with love. Mimi needs to find her inner strength and self-worth and walk away from this bastard, and set an example to her daughter that she is a strong independent woman. There is nothing wrong with a woman needing a man, but a woman should never settle for any kind of man. There are decent guys out there who knows how to treat a woman with the love and respect she deserves. No man or woman is perfect, but a person will only treat you according to how you allow them to treat you.
Well they sure are a bunch of females we don’t want our daughters to be like. Every single one of them!!!
She need to save herself.
LMAO!! I CONCUR
Amen !!!!
After seeing this, I’m starting to really question this campaign and those involved, because I thought only K. Michelle was doing it for her situation, and now we find Mimi. Who’s next Joseline, Erica, Rasheeda (WTH?
And I really don’t think K. is being honest about her abuse. I was reading a blog post from someone REALLY close with that particular situation and their account is making it all seem VERY SUSPECT. But I’mma just leave it at that.
The more KMichele talks the crazier she seems and the less I belieeve anything she says
I keep saying KMichelle is just as bipolar as those different hairstyles she wears…no words for any of them thinking that they are role models…
I agree. K. Michelle’s story is very suspect. There are far too many holes in her abuse story. She does tend to have suspicions of bi-polarism. It will be very interesting to see if K. Michelle and Mimi continue being advocates for this campaign once the the lights and cameras are off (after the reunion). Smh
@ D.A. I found it very rude and disrespectful how Rasheeda suggested to K. Michelle that maybe he didn’t do that to her. As a woman I felt her pain as she was speaking and crying. I’m watching her on a screen and I felt bad for her, so how in the world was Rasheeda sitting face to face with her, look at her in the way she did and then say that to her, just because her and Toya are real good friends. She showed no compassion or concern for K. Michelle. So if I ever hear Rasheeda say something about Domestic Abuse, I will personally send her a tweet and respond, "Are you for real, especaily after how you treated K. Michelle while she was pouring her heart out to you because she THOUGHT you were her Friend?" #I’mJustSaying
I wouldn’t take the show that serious IMO, because we already know K. has been saying this for 2 years. And we know K. has heard it around the A like everyone else. Keep in mind, we did find out that some of the situation were actually fake. But you are right, that was insensitive of Rasheeda to do that. Even though she has her right to her opinion like we do, the way she went about it was uncalled for.
I aint never been a Mimi lol thats another level of bobble head!
Sorry Tanasha. Not all of us have been side chicks pretending to be a main chick when reality is we just need to say no to drugs. Not all of us suffer from low self-esteem.
Its nice she is doing something for charity but she should be no little girls role model.
I can’t even watch it. She wants to save OUR daughters, paaleassee. BIOTCH, save yourself first.
"While I’m sure MiMi means well, I’m NOT so sure that she doesn’t need “saving” herself." I believe this statement could not be more correct.
WHATEVER!
I don’t know who told her that was a good idea…but she keep sleeping with Steebie and she gone end up like that real talk!
Child…get the hell outta my head! lol
I’m glad I can actually say I know teenagers who don’t know who any of these women are,because they are not role models. She will be batting a thousand if she can prevent her own daughter when she grows up from following in her footsteps and shacking up with a man like Steebie J.!
Actions speak louder than words…portray the image you want to project!!!
Right there! Or as we say in STL, Right thur! lol
So you can’t save yourself from your own disrespectful, degrading, publicly viewed weekly on Monday nights relationship and you want to save OUR daughters? Your first priority is to yourself to make sure that you have a strong stable mind to make your next priority your own daughter to show and teach her that NO MAN..daddy, boyfriend, husband, or coworker disrespects her, Then and only then come back apologize for participating in this farce of a reality show then do a PSA about how not to sell your soul for a pair of red bottoms and Celine bag. all of this message was brought to you by a woman who is living reality not playing it on TV
Kali, love it!
Mimi, I hope this show is an eye opener for you. I get u trying to help young women, but we aren’t sure if u see your own situation and we will be more inspired just by you getting your situation sorted out than this campaign. wish you the best.
This a joke right. She is the last one who needs to be on the campaign.
Hate the messenger, not the message.
Umm… I love the idea of empowering young woman- And I’m gonna have to Believe there is more to Mimi than being shown on tv- Im praying it is
pot meet kettle
Well how about she starts off by not being such A SAD, PATHETIC WOMAN!!!! She disgusts me and I have no respect for women who allow men to disrespect and belittle them. I feel sorry for her daughter because she’s being the role model NO WOMAN would ever want her daughter to look up to. I CAN’T STAND IDIOTS!!!!!!
All i have to say is Mimi f$uk off, and go find someone who saved you…..
@can
That whole show is an embarassment and we can not get publicity unless it is for pure dee foolishness.Just sad, man!SMH
Mimi- Go home & raise your damn daughter for heaven sakes. The last thing you need to be doing is showing your face in public and be a mother. Stop trying to send out a message when your damnself can follow through it. Save your Own DAUGHTER! + YOURSELF!. Thanks dear; Let’s not forget you’re a grown old ass woman having a innocent child to keep a man. A man who has been himself for over 15 years. You need to seek help, your daughter will too when she gets older when she realize how mommie is and was an unresponsible Mother. Pathetic!
How in the hell is she going to save someone else when she cannot help herself?
I passed up on this BS yesterday ,
It’s like watching two quadriplegics trying to save each other from drowning!
Well da- I say Dayum!! lol
save yoself Mimi!
I can’t even take this chick seriously anymore!
Outside of the obvious, you all covered very well. This is my first time hearing of ‘hate crimes against women’. Are people just campaigning for anything for empathy or is this just a new name for domestic abuse?
What we learned from the whole Stevie, Mimi, and Joseline fiasco, is that our childhood affects our adult relationships. Stevie was abandoned by his mother, therefore, has no respect for women. He does all he can to avoid loving and building intimacy. Mimi and Joseline both grew up feeling unloved by their parents and look to a man to make them feel loved. Mimi wants her daughter to have the family she never had, that is what keeps her tied to Stevie J. In order to grow, both Mimi and Joseline need to go cold turkey and leave Stevie. Time heals all wounds.
She needs to save herself first! She is not setting a good example for her daughter because she is continuing to put up with Stevie’s mess. She needs to show her daughter what a strong woman is, not a weak one.
MiMi first "SAVE" your damn self! How are you going to teach anyone a lesson on self respect when you don’t have none for yourself? You had to get on television to see how much of a damn fool you have been for 15 years and now you think you are the subject matter expert, I believe not the devil is a liar!!! Continue to go to counseling to heal and learn how to love yourself before imposing your ideology on the world.
Try again!
A stadium full of seats with her name on them ALL.
MiMi my (step)daughter is good she about to enter into her senior year with a 4.0 top 5% of her class…now please go save yourself and be a role model to your baby…she will see this one day…

im lmao Mimi being a spokes person for saving our daughters is like Evelyn being a spokes person for Domestic Violence. Mimi is no role model she dont even have a backbone she should of been done with Stevie instead she let him moon walk all over her. This aint the fist time Stevie cheated men do what you let them do. The sponsor/group/ or whoever should of put a little more thought into the person they picked.
I USE TO FEEL SORRY FOR MI MI BACK IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THE SEASON BUT I CANT ANYMORE SHE LIKE THAT ISH. IF SHE LIKE IT I LOVE IT. HOW YOU GONE BE DONE WITH A DUDE AND THEN GIVE HIM LEEWAY BACK INTO YA LIFE BY GOING TO COUNSELING AND MOVING BACK IN. WHEN NICKI SUNG "STUPID HOE" SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT MI MI
MiNi, u need to focus on saving yourself before u can even begin to think about saving someone else…. U allow Stevie to make u look like a straight up FOOL…… U need to get it together…. Do u not realize that u are setting an example and a BAD one at that……. U play yourself every Monday night and I crack up laughing at how u allow this guy to disrespect u….. Damn, times gotta b hard in the ATL
I’m reading all of these comments and alot of people are bashing Mimi and riding the Joseline train. Newsflash, no one has the right to judge and we don’t know what that lady has been through in the past that defines how she is today. As for her being the ‘side piece’ and Joseline being the ‘main chick’ — Stevie J doesn’t discriminate, they reverse roles when he feels like it. As a matter of fact, Joseline sounds like she’s speaking the same language that Mimi was last season, because she now has to worry about who Stevie J is spending his time with besides her. Joseline isn’t that strong either
