Happy Sunday 😃 & Happy belated Birthday 🎂 (July 18)to my beautiful, smart & strong MAMA- Mrs. Clara McDonald ❤️, B.K.A. “Sista” to our family ❤️. No amount of words or deeds could EVER truly express my love, appreciation and adoration for her. She has been my A1 since my literal Day 1 💜. I am the woman I am because of her. She is a class act & she is a real one. You don’t want no kind of smoke with her 🤬👊🏾. Trust & believe, lol 😂. She’s not on the Book of Faces, but she’s got a tribe of relatives on here, so join us in wishing my Mama a very happy birthday. She’s 79 years young 👑. Blessings up & out to all of y’all 😘🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️. @ Cincinnati

Greetings Beautiful Peeps 👋🏾. How are you doing? I’m feeling pretty good today. As we stay with the momentum & remain vigilant in this fight, I want us to be micro conscious of our actions & choices. This includes where we spend our hard earned cash 💰; the free content we subscribe to such as daily updates, newsletters & blogs we receive in our inboxes 👩🏾‍💻 & phones 📲; this also includes who we follow on the Gram. I am cleaning house y’all. If a company, organization, brand, individual, public figure, politician or celebrity of any kind, does not implicitly say “Black Lives Matter,” THAT’S IT. knows when I say this, take cover 🚨. You’re going on the list (and that ain’t no kind of good). I’m not buying from you, I’m not supporting you, I’m unsubscribing, opting out and unfollowing. PERIODT. That “T” was not a typo. That’s me putting emphasis & some stank on it 💁🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️. I am playing ZERO games with this. We are talking life & death here. Black people are literally DYING because of the color of our skin. I cannot. I don’t care if it hurts feelings or bruises egos. Silence is complicity. Speak Up 📢 & Speak Out 🔊. I have sent emails to companies to explicitly let them know they are being complicit & to remove me from all communications. I encourage y’all to do the same. These small actions can lead to big changes. Use your social power & influence for good. Stay Up & Stay Woke 👊🏾 ❤️💛💚🖤🤎

Greetings Everyone! I hope you are doing well & having a good week. In times like what we are experiencing, it is easy & understandable to lose focus, and fall back into comfortable or complacent behaviors & attitudes. DON’T 🛑. We must keep the momentum & keep going 👊🏾. Both small & big things will make a difference: $ donations, supporting black businesses, listening to a podcast, joining a book discussion group, writing a blog, reposting a video or post, calling a friend or family on some racist bu****it they’re unknowingly perpetuating, not supporting a company or brand that is complicit in their silence, resting your own mind & body so you can sustain your energy to stay in the fight. Just do something. Keep it going y’all. Take care of yourselves & each other. 🖤❤️💛💚.

Happy Friday Eve 👋🏾🌈💜 I had to have a pep talk with myself today. This “shelter in place “ life had me on the struggle bus 🤦🏽‍♀️. I’m an extrovert & a social butterfly 🦋. Please let this be over soon & let us safely return to freely living outside our homes 🙏🏾❤️. Stay healthy & stay sane 👋🏾😘🌈☀️.

Happy Monday 👋🏾☀️🤓. Character strengths help us get through tough times & face adversity. Take the character strength survey: https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register & let me know what your top 5 strengths are. This is a great way to learn about yourself & connect with your families & friends. Give it a whirl 🙌🏾. Since we’re all “sheltering in place,” we’ve got the time. Have a wonderful day! ☀️🦋🌈💚. Oh & s/o to for the dope T-shirt ❤️.

Happy Friday! What a week 😫👊🏾!This pic is BEFORE I learned that I have to listen to my body & exhaustion is not some badge of honor to be proud of. Let’s be more selective about the things we take on & the commitments we make. There’s nothing to be gained from running yourself into the ground, while you just keep adding more & more stuff to your plate. Join me in cleaning our plates & making more space for fun & relaxation. That includes our schedules & our minds. Have a great weekend 😘🌸🦋🌈.

Happy Tuesday 😁✨ Don’t get stuck in your feelings. Acknowledge they’re happening, process how you are feeling & then allow yourself to move on to a better place. Like the sign behind me says, “feelings come & go like clouds...” so let them float away ⛅️ Choose happiness as often as possible 💙🌈 💙.
