• The first time I ever realized that what I learned in school about history was based on countless lies and cover-ups, was the day I started a US history class in college with a professor whose mission was to undo the damage that the public system had done. For the first time I read an honest history book. It was scary, but enlightening. I felt like a whole world opened up to me. This was the ugly part of history, and it made me understand why things were the way that they were. Still, I didn't know what Juneteenth was until about 3 years ago when I saw a TV show, of all things, do a special on it (thanks @blackishabc). We have so much to learn and so much to do. I think the least that we can do today though, is honor this day and make an important part of history known to all. #honorjuneteenth #makejuneteenthafederalholiday #blackish

  • Want to know one person who has impacted my life in a big way, even though I don't know her in person? @msrachelhollis! . . I'm spending my day with her and a bunch of other amazing speakers at #risexlive!✨ My kids are already giving me weird looks because I'm dancing in the living room with my earbuds in (it's okay, they're used to it lol) . . . . . . #next90days #msrachelhollis #riseandshine

  • Your current circumstances don't dictate your future potential! This was a quote I saw today from @jasminestar and I couldn't agree more. I talk more about it in my story but I know a lot of you are going through uncertainty and even depression about the current state of the world and where your business is going. This is just a little reminder to help you keep a positive mindset through all this. ❤️ #wereallinthistogether #bayareabusiness #mindsetmatters

  • Yes, it's okay to let your clients see the real you.⠀ ⠀ All of us have insecurities, and it can be hard to let your guard down at first... but trust me, it's the best thing you'll ever do. Stop wondering if you'll lose people - you will! ⠀ ⠀ It's about shifting your mindset to seeing that as a good thing. Most of us have heard just be yourself or, who cares what everyone else thinks, nearly our whole lives. Yet, for some of us, it can seem so impossible to put it into practice. We hold ourselves back because we fear the judgement. ⠀ ⠀ The thing is, real confidence comes from the practice of trusting yourself.⠀ TRUST that there is not a damn thing wrong with the way you are. TRUST that you were made this way for a reason. And TRUST that the right people for you, will love you for it.

  • The term brand yourself really kind of pisses me off 😬 It's because it implies that you need to change yourself in some way. So what ends up happening is that you create this persona that might be vaguely like you - or not like yourself at all. You post pictures and talk about things you aren't even interested in because you think that's what everyone wants to see and what people will gravitate towards. . In reality, you should never have to change yourself to be on brand, you should change your brand to be more like you. . . ✨ Today when I do my video for my #30daysofinstastories challenge, I'm going to do some q&a on branding! If you have a question you've always wondered about or want to hear my thoughts on something message me or comment with your question below! 😘 #socialmediatips #brandingquestions #businessquestions

  • Join me for 30 days of insta stories, where I'm challenging myself to get in front of the camera and share videos for 30 days in a row. I've always hated being in front of the camera... Now I don't mind as much BUT I still do feel awkward at times and I'm definitely not in the habit of sharing as much as I should. Go to my stories to see the whole video, or just start sharing with me! Tag me and follow along so we can encourage each other along the way - and definitely don't forget to use the hashtag #30daysofinstastories ☺️ #30daychallenge #30dayvideochallenge #instagramstoriesideas
