Well beautiful people it is a new year and that means… well just that! It’s a new year. I’m not going to bore you with my Neil DeGrasse Tyson thoughts on time being a man-made construct for us to live by someone else’s clock in order to be controlled and/or manipulated. Or that there is… Continue reading Set your intention and manifest
Fearless Love is my soul project. Through my family’s YouTube channel I came up with the idea that I want to contribute something that was all my own. After one day of scrolling through Instagram photos and YouTube videos I felt down and upset. Why was my life not as interesting as all these other… Continue reading The need for safe spaces
The other day I was looking up some image for self love and I noticed something. photo credit: JustinBieberLoveYourself.png, 12866912_f520.jpg, how-to-love-yourself-550×550.jpg, Do you see the pattern here?

I was sifting through a list of names and rubbing my fingers over the paper as if the voices of the people would come through the sheet of paper. I don’t remember her name but I eventually settled on a person… Continue reading Making a way
The past two weeks have been a whirlwind and many people have experienced a roller coaster of emotions particularly women, LGBTQ and communities of color. The topic of self care has been bubbling for the past two years or so and I have a feeling that it won’t die anytime soon. With our political and… Continue reading How to practice self care and self preservation
Okay I admit it! I lie. I lie when I say that images of “perfect” bodies don’t bother me or that I’m not trying to attain some photoshopped, unrealistic shape that my body is clearly incapable of molding into. I lie when I say that the number size of my clothes doesn’t matter to me… Continue reading An assault on the thigh gap
I have a couple of blog drafts that I’ve been working on but I don’t want to talk about thigh gaps and being a black creative right now. Right now I want to simply collapse into myself and be silent.

The other day a plumber came to my house to fix my toilets (don’t worry this story does NOT get X-rated). When he walked into my bathroom he noticed my mantras written on the mirror. My mantras are occasionally invisible to me, meaning I notice them when I’m looking at them and reciting the words… Continue reading Ma ma ma my mantra
The Universe has a very funny way of sending you the messages that you need for whatever lessons you’re in the midst of learning. The information is never in a neat and tidy package wrapped up with a bow or even a soft voice whispering in your ear to nudge you in the right direction. Of… Continue reading The Universe told me
