This post could be triggering for women who are finding it difficult to have children. I am praying you and your partner get the desires of your hearts.

There’s Joy in the Struggle

January 22, 2019

This is part one of a three part series about the unexpected places in which we can find joy…when we are actively looking. I’ve realized two things in the last three months: If I can’t be honest with myself, I can’t write anything to you.

Exploring Your Potential

September 25, 2018

When I started this one, it was supposed to be for single ladies. But the more I wrote–the more I realized it was for all the ladies. So as a follow up to The Single Ladies Series, I am reminding me and you (yo’ mama and yo’ cousin too) to never top exploring our potential.… Read More Exploring Your Potential

July 23, 2018

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Living your best life”. You know what I’m talking about. You’re on your lunch break scrolling through social media and then you see the caption, “living my best life”.  It’s usually accompanied by a pic of someone laid out on a beach, posted up in a new city, or celebrating… Read More Redefining Your ‘Best Life’

July 16, 2018

I am the ultimate advocate for therapy. I have been going for about 6 months and when I tell you it has been a total and complete game change… …it has been a total and complete game change.

Last week I decided to take an impromptu trip to the west coast. We don’t have time for the why in this post (you can read it here if you’d like).

Year 3: Self-Discovery vs. Self-Sacrifice

June 26, 2018

I’m writing this for you from about 30,000 feet in the air. I just paid for in-flight internet. I have “Escape” by Yuna playing over my headphones.

The Cost of Being Educated and Black

March 26, 2018

I write about what I experience which means sharing about navigating my way through the last couple of years in my twenties as an ever evolving dope black woman who is married and making traction in her career.
