  • We make up and break up all the time.

Me rolling my eyes at Seattle in the winter and obsessing over her beauty in the summer. 
Seattle summers are unmatched!
.

Also, full disclosure (faking it for gram) this boat was by no means operated, steered or directed by me lol, which is a good thing. .
For romper Details dm me, I’d tag the brand but I’m yet to determine if they are in time out or not.

  • AMG is 12!
She is everything I ever could have dreamt a daughter would be and so much more. I am undeserving of this massive blessing but God is that good.

And yes, I saw what she had on and went and dressed just like her, because I’m certain this is the last year I can get away with it.

  • Humidity and I did a thing yesterday. 
We made some dead curls come to life. 
I’m quite certain this is a fluke, but would love to recreate this magic even when it isn’t summer. .

Curly girls I need your tips, what moisturising products are your lush locs loving? 
Every single person in my house has different textured hair and we don’t do fuss, low maintenance here πŸ™‹πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ, so the struggle is BEYOND real.

  • CULTURE
Changing the environment of the workplace.

I don’t think there could be a better time for @julainesmith story to premiere.

Now more than ever, having a thorough understanding of your purpose in the marketplace as a female entrepreneur is crucial.

Tapping into the power of community to create a new mindset and culture in the market place is key.

I have been so blessed by the leadership and mentorship of Julaine.

We all need mentorship, a place to be vulnerable a place to learn and grow. Trust me nobody is posting their failures, insecurities and losses on social media as much as they are their victories. Behind those victories are many moments of self doubt, comparison and  sleepless nights.

If you are a female entrepreneur, you must get to know @julainesmith.

Keep going #girlboss

  • Checking in friends, 
we made it through the week, barely (insert deep exhale)

Along with all the emotions we are all unpacking. My eldest daughter got into a really bad bike accident and alas, the bike won 😩. I wouldn’t usually share what felt like a huge mum fail on social media. But as I processed my week I realised this.

When the accident initially happened, my daughter was in tremendous pain. So much pain, she didn’t want me to touch her for fear I would hurt her further, she was bloody, bruised and broken (literally). The pain was causing her so much agony that I became hesitant in touching her also, I didn’t want to cause her any more pain, or do something, touch something to cause her further harm and make it worse.

After several conversations with friends this week, I realised in some ways I had retreated in my own hurt as a black women in fear of being harmed further. Many of my friends who took the step to reach out did so not wanting to cause further hurt, but show solidarity but, knew enough to know that ignorance hurts still. 
As vunerable a place it is, we are still better together. It’s not always possible for the wounded to battle weary especially when their strength has been compromised. That’s when friends, allys assist in the fight.

I remain hopeful!
