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
Girl, Create The Wave!
“We don’t ride the wave we create it, that’s how we made it to Beyonce’s playlist. I’m about to be on a first name basis with Beyonce!”
We live in a society where copy cat mentalities, bandwagon groupies and crowds seem to be the going thing now. It is a constant peering over at another person’s paper to see how we can do what they do the same way. Instead of us focusing on what we have inside to create what is needed for the world. Or in this case, how we can stop riding the wave, but Create Your Wave.
Baby, I’m Weak!
Growing up my super power was the ability to feel nothing and power through each situation like as a STRONG BLACK WOMAN! Never crying over the situations that hurt me, broke my heart, that crushed me. Never wanting to be or look weak I took it all like a champ! Reminding myself I am not weak, I can take this and much more. For years I lived trying to prove to myself and others that there was nothing that was too much for me to handle.
She Don’t Wanna Play No Mo’
Simone Biles chose her mental health and space over the need to push through to be strong in the eyes of commentators, fellow athletes, and the world. What we are all missing is her ability to choose herself gave her teammates the opportunity to come through and shine. She took a step to the side so that she could continue to love and support her teammates.
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.”
