There is no greater agony than bearing the story untold in you.
~Maya Angelou
Life is tough, the world can be loud. We can be even loud repeating our fears to ourselves. Girl it’s important to find your quiet, embrace your path, remind yourself everything you need within you.
You are enough!
It’s my hope my words and experience inspire you.
Don't let comparison rob you of the most beautiful life you can live being.
With Every Step, Girl, Be You
ISSA Photoshoot
Clearly you must be living under a rock if you have yet to see the impromptu photo shoot “wedding” of our sister, friend and cousin Issa Rae. She shut us all down by posting that she is married with a caption that was simply a “chef’s kiss.”
A Different World, A Different View
I treat TV like I treat my food. There is nothing like a delicious meal from a beautiful restaurant with food that makes you dance inside that gives an amazing view paired with good drinks. A good time is had. Every now and again a girl like me loves a good bowl of ramen noodles minus the packet of seasonings it comes with, (that packet has way too much sodium for me) I will enjoy that bowl of ramen with a ice cold glass of water and be just as happy. It’s called balance.
Hey Daddy!
My dad and I were having breakfast at a conference, someone walks by mentions how they just love our relationship. As they walk away me and my daddy crack up laughing. If people only knew how far we truly have come. This breakfast moment is nothing short of a miracle!
I Ain’t Code Switching No Mo’
I learned early on that code switching was going to be the path of success for me. My sophomore year in high school days was the start of my code switching. Often, I was the only black girl in classes, track meets, hanging out with white friends, my family was the only black family on our block up until about a few months ago. During those days there was no diversity and inclusion classes, there were no guided conversation around my white classmates being allies.
