✨”The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.”✨ -Roy T. Bennett • I manifested my dream life. I get PAID to take pictures and make videos. I get paid to travel and to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. • I’m in Las Vegas at the Real World Suite. Later I’m going to sit in the confessional and talk shit about everybody. 😂😂 I’m just joking, but seriously, I still can’t believe I’m here. God is so amazing. • (Thank you @brittney.janae for my shirt, I’ve gotten so many compliments #BlackWomenCreate ✊🏿)
✨”Seasons change, people grow together and apart, life moves on. You will be OK, embrace it.”✨ - @alex_elle • I’ve been getting so many questions about my hair. Yes, I miss my locs but change feels so good. 😝
✨”Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”✨ -Brene Brown • I didn’t realize how many people were dealing with depression, anxiety and PTSD. The support, messages, emails and DM’s that I’ve received in the past week have been overwhelming, in the best way possible. For so many years I didn’t want to share my story, I was afraid of what people would think. • I now understand that my story is what makes me human, what makes me relatable and it set me free. • Share your story. Someone needs to hear it and they are waiting on YOU. • And if you haven’t heard it today, I’m proud of you and I love you EVERYDAY. 💙
✨”Nothing is going to stand in your way this year. Not even you!”✨ - @OloriSwank
✨"One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself."✨ -Lucille Ball • This is what depression looks like. I took this picture 3 years ago today. I was trying so hard to be “happy”. • People would say things like, “You have a loving husband who supports you, beautiful children, a thriving business, what are you sad for?” • I remember sitting down with @taylaandre and told her I was so afraid. God was giving me everything I asked for and I was still miserable. I felt like I didn’t have the right to be sad. We talked for hours. I cried, she listened and never judged me. • You should ALWAYS check on your strong friends because the ones that are hurting the most are the best actors. Behind the smiles there might be mountains of pain. • I’m finally starting to feel better. Thank you for everyone who has been riding with me the past few years. Thanks for not giving up on me. And thank God for therapy. 😀 • Talking about this is my biggest fear in life. But in order to heal I have to stop hiding. I have to deal with the childhood trauma I’ve been avoiding for decades. And I have to stop smiling when I don’t want to. Facebook reminded me of this day 3 years ago. I have grown so much and it feels good to finally be honest. Thanks for reading this, it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever publicly shared. #talkaboutuncomfortablethings
✨”People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book.”✨ -Malcolm X
It’s been a rough couple of months, mentally. PTSD has been kicking my ass, but I’m learning and growing. • I didn’t understand how important self care was until I met @shalleenkaye. In September I came to @salonnoa and got my hair done after removing my locs. It was the first time I saw a professional stylist in almost 15 years and IT CHANGED MY LIFE. @stylequeenbeauty taught me how to care for my natural hair, the exact products to use and how to take care of Selena’s hair too. • But the biggest lesson she taught me was to ask for what I want in life and to dream BIGGER. Since I started seeing her we found our dream home (we’re moving next month!) and I love myself more than I ever have. I smile more, I buy myself gifts and I’m so proud of me. I know it’s “just hair” but @shalleenkaye changed my life. I’m thankful!
✨“I can’t put a limit on my success, a limit on my failures, a limit on my business, or accept any type of limit, period.”✨ - @KarenCivil
This picture was taken in 2007. Who could imagine that we would fall in love at a @Nike party in Hollywood and be engaged a year later. Today I call you my husband and the father of my children. I'm so thankful for you. Happy birthday Mr.Carter, we love you! 😘 ✨🎂🎉✨
✨"Sometimes we don't know what we want. If the answer is, "I don't know", then say it. Be at peace with not knowing. Sometimes the reason we don't know is that whats coming is going to be very different from anything we've ever experienced before. Sometimes the reason we don't know is that it would be too confusing for us right now. Knowing would make us afraid. Take us away from now. Sometimes our souls know but it's just not time for our conscious mind to know yet. Sometimes knowing will take us out of the very experience we need to go through to discover the answer we're looking for. Its ok to not know. The lesson is trusting that we'll know when it's time."✨-Melody Beattie • Dream big, stay inspired and do the work. #HappyBlackHistoryMonth
