  • Oh how much I would’ve loved to take a cute photo after my sons birth. You know the ones with hair done and makeup slightly done or maybe even had time to throw in my contacts. But he came almost 8 weeks early (32+5) and extremely unexpected (and I spent most of my c section throwing up 🤢) The day of his birth was literally go go go. I had already been in the hospital for 3 weeks and was waiting for his arrival at hopefully 34 weeks due to my severe preeclampsia. My fetal monitoring that day was off (as usual because he never acted right) so I headed to my usual ultrasound to check in on him. 2/8. That’s the score he got based on his movement, blood flow, oxygen and response. My ultrasound was at 2:30pm. I was rushed into an emergency c section and my sons time of birth was 3:11pm at 3lbs 0oz. 💜A baby is deemed premature when they are born before 37 weeks gestation. According to the @marchofdimes, that is 1 in 10 babies. 💜 African American women have a higher chance of having a preemie. “The preterm birth rate among Black women is 38% higher than the rate among all other women” (@marchofdimes) So this November during Prematurity Awareness month, I will share snippets of our journey in order to raise awareness of something so common; A cause so close to my heart 💜

  • Still by far one of my favorite photos in my portfolio. Why? Confidence hasn’t always come easy to me but in this moment (with @4forty4_boudoir behind me) I was confident. In my body, in what I was doing, in me. It was something that then, I lacked. From the outside it seemed all together but on the inside I was TERRIFIED of being me, authentically. Through being in front of the camera I learned how to be my best self. How to be confident in every day life and honestly how to just stop giving a fuck what other people thought. Because at the end of the day, it’s me against me. Who I am is who I am and that’s just that🤷🏽‍♀️. Did I get this way overnight? Hell no! It took time, patience and a whole lot of affirmations to get here. Maybe it took having my son to really realize what being truly confident in myself and my abilities was. Whatever helped make that shift, it feels so damn good 💙

  • If you would’ve told me 2 years ago that I’d be the person waking up at 5am to make my 6:15 spin/strength/yoga class 2x a week then training with my trainer 3x a week, I would’ve thought you were crazy. But here I am 🤷🏽‍♀️ Working out has become something I genuinely look forward to! When I miss a day at the gym my feelings are hurt. It’s become a place where it’s me against me and every day I challenge myself to be better than the day before. So huge shout out to my trainer @kreauxx for pushing me when I want to give up 💙 Also to @spengasugarland for being so positive and welcoming me with such open arms. I’ve found my tribe 💚

  • As I tried to come up with a cute caption for this photo I realized that wasn’t the reality of this moment. When I took this photo last night, I was exhausted. My son hasn’t been sleeping well because he’s teething. Self awareness in regard to my mental health has honestly been kicking my ass. I had planned on going out but just couldn’t convince myself to get ready and go. So many times, Instagram is just our highlight reel. All the good and fun times. All the happy moments, the days where everything goes right and all is well. But that’s definitely not the case. I want to be transparent in all I do. For you who don’t have their shit together to know that you aren’t alone in this. Where you know that it’s okay not be okay 💙

  • The last few days I haven’t felt like myself. So here I am, faking it until I make it because sometimes that’s what you gotta do 💎

  • So nice had to post twice 😋 I accidentally bought this outfit (both jeans and top) way too small about 6 months ago. I was so discouraged when I tried them on only to find out I could not get my top half into the shirt nor could I even attempt to button the pants. But here I am, 3 months into hard work and dedication to my new lifestyle wearing the outfit that didn’t fit. It’s been a journey. Making my health and fitness a priority everyday. Some days are better than others. In the gym day in and day out (4 days training this week 💪🏾) Choosing foods that make my body feel good. Im seeing the changes and I’m so excited to continue the journey towards a better me 🤩
