I have been a member of the blogging community for over ten years.

Maintaining Self-Care During Depression
June 11, 2017
The past week I’ve been going thru the motions a bit. It’s been more of a challenge for me to get tasks done, stay focused, and stay alongside my schedules that I pre-plan at the beginning of each week.

A few days ago, it was reported that Kendrick Lamar bought his kid-sister a (new) Toyota Camry as a graduation gift.

Black Pride: The Most Inspiring Black Women Entrepreneurs
February 8, 2017
As a fellow entrepreneur, I am always on the look out to see what other black entrepreneurs and self-made women are doing. It is a habit of study, ritual, and inspiration that I get from watching the work of other women in my field and in other fields as we silently and even loudly chug […]

What 2016 Taught Me…..
December 31, 2016
This year has been a whirlwind of emotion and even confusion to say the least. I was affected by heartbreak, personal loss, family loss, money worries, and any other negative thing you could think of. 2016 was not “my year”. And though I was riddled with lessons on lessons and my faith was tested over […]

It’s my 31st birthday! I am actually a bit more at peace this time around with regards to my birthday than I was last year. You see, in previous years, my birthday symbolized for me, all of the things I hadn’t achieved by that time and I would sometimes get depressed about it. I had […]
