✨”Success happens when you give people no choice but to accept you as you are.”✨ - @AlexWolf 📸: @jamondavisphotography
I gave myself permission to quit. After 12 years in the industry I’ve hit most of the goals I originally set for myself and photography wasn’t fun anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Virginia really fucked me up. I’ve never met people like “these people” before. You can get mad if you want, but I’ve had so many people try to fuck me over in this state. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One person tried to build a “Visual Branding” agency with my pictures. Like they built a whole website and social media presence with my COPYRIGHTED images. They didn’t purchase a commercial license for the images, didn’t ask permission and didn’t even give me photo credit. No worries tho, my legal team jumped on it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We live a world were “Professional Photographers” are becoming extinct. Now a days people buy a camera and a week later they’re trying to book photo shoots. They’re trying to get paid but don’t know how to use Manual Mode, they can’t use a flash so they call themselves “Natural Light Photographers” and they don’t even know what a “Metering Mode” is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyways, after attending @AlexWolf’s “Creative Wealth Workshop” I realized I don’t wanna quit. I do have to pivot and make some changes though. Drop a few clients, upset a few people, but that’s ok. Y’all get ready, cause I’m coming for EVERYTHING they said I couldn’t have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DON’T BELIEVE ME, JUST WATCH!👀 📸:@jamondavisphotography
✨”Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”✨ -Audre Lorde • Investing in myself has been the best investment I’ve made this year. As a mother and wife sometimes the only time I get to myself is when I shower, so I make it a spa experience. • I have sensitive skin so I stay away from harsh chemicals. These natural soaps have changed the texture of my skin. This facial lotion cleared my acne. My dermatologist actually prescribed me @champdefleurs, saying “Whatever you’ve been using keep using that. Your skin is immaculate.” I was kinda shocked but I listen and bought more lotion, soaps and oils. • What’s one thing you do for yourself everyday. I’m taking notes, so let me know. 📝
✨”Shout out to everyone transcending a mindset, mentality, desire, belief, emotion, habit, behavior or vibration, that no longer serves them.”✨ -Lalah Delia • I love this art by @markus.effin.prime that was included in the summer @ujamaabox. I can’t wait to see what @ebonycostain_ curates for the fall and winter boxes. 📦 • Summer 2019 was interesting. I said “no” to a lot of opportunities/people that weren’t making me happy and said “yes” to everything that brought be joy!! I bought a lot of art, ate a lot of food and took a lot of pictures. • How was your summer?
✨”You’ve got to be willing to keep going without being discouraged/distracted by the people who don’t support you. Keep going!! ...By the time they decide to support you, they’ll have to book you.”✨ - @oloriswank • I’m over here minding my business, making money, living a SWANK life, glowin’ up, coloring and reading Zoe Spark to Selena every night. • What y’all doing?
✨”You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!”✨ - Dr. Seuss • First day of school 📚 • 5th grade & PreK
✨”When you parent, it’s crucial you realize you aren’t raising a “mini me,” but a spirit throbbing with its own signature. For this reason, it’s important to separate who you are from who each of your children is. Children aren’t ours to possess or own in any way. When we know this in the depths of our soul, we tailor our raising of them to their needs, rather than molding them to fit our needs.”✨ - @doctorshefali • Last month Sean celebrated his tenth birthday (double digits!! woo! woo!) and tomorrow will be his first day of 5th grade. • The last ten years flew by. I’m so thankful to be his mom. #SeanZaire
Tomorrow my son will be 10 years old.
✨”Dranking water, making money and minding my business.”✨ • There’s something so dope about running while the sun comes up.
✨“You can either let fear stall you or drive you. Let it drive you.”✨ - @QueenSugarOWN
I’m still reviewing my notes from the @mtyretreat. • “Purpose is using your gifts to be of service to others.” - @devibrown • “CEO tasks vs Operating tasks.” - @morgandebaun • “You have to be ok being the elephant in the room.” - @karleenroy • “What will people say about you when you’re not here?” - @myleik • I have pages of notes, with so many gems, helping me to constantly grow and evolve, everyday.
