We all have stories we tell ourselves, often without even realizing it. The first step in rewriting your story is to identify it. Pay attention to your inner dialogue and the language you use when you talk to yourself. What are you saying?

All of the survival habits, routines and thought processes you have been maintaining to survive the toxic environment you were trying to operate in will quickly become too restrictive for you now that you’ve stepped out of the comfort zone you created.

Every time I go through my skincare routine I feel as though I am writing a love letter to myself. One that reaches into my soul as I nourish the very thing that protects me as I move about each day. So yes, a skincare routine does make a difference.

The thing is, you can’t self care your way into inner peace. Loving and being in love with yourself requires you to deep dive into your essence. And sometimes that gets messy. And it’s most certainly overwhelming.

Life really does elevate (or not) based on the tribe of folks you choose to be your community. Your chosen family. That’s why they say you’re the sum of the people you spend the most time with.

It’s not that following your passion means you don’t work, it’s truly that you will want to do the work. When your work is an extension of yourself, you don’t dread completing the tasks and pushing forward. I want to share some lessons I’ve learned about managing multiple income streams.

When tasting red wine, think of ways to connect the taste & experience with memories. Pay attention to what feelings you get when you taste it. Are there any cultural ties that pop into your head? Wine tasting doesn’t have to be all about aromas & notes.

Self-doubt will have you questioning yourself, questioning your ability and questioning your worth. It will cause you to have thoughts such as: It’s too much for me to handle right now. What if I fail? I can’t handle another failure. I don’t have the qualifications and knowledge to do such a thing.

Start your own business. Your business idea is hiding in your passion. It’s hiding in what you can’t stop talking about. So here’s what you need to do. Make a list. Check one thing off each day or each week. Forward is progress. That includes small steps.

Biodynamic winemaking, to put it in popular terms, is a vibe. It’s all about energy management and holistic agriculture.

Imposter Syndrome is when you feel that you aren’t qualified to be occupying a space/position, even though you are qualified. It’s also when you question your competence, despite having the skills & abilities to complete the tasks ahead of you. No surprise that imposter syndrome is more common in women.

Many are already familiar with, if they don't pay their mortgage then the bank holds a foreclosure auction to get the amount owed on the property. Black Girls Buy Houses can completely stop the foreclosure prior to the auction. We have closed in as little as 3 days.

It’s summertime! Well, almost anyway. And I don’t know about you, warmer weather and being outside makes me reevaluate my drinking habits. The name of the game goes from comfort to refreshing for me. That means it’s also time to switch up from my normal dry reds (not completely, because that would be sad!).

Having a feeling that resembles a sense of pride and belief in where you’re going does something to you as you start your day. There is no dread because you feel accomplished, there is no disappointment because you’re envisioning the great things you’ve done - before they even happen. That’s how you manifest through journaling.

Empowered by Melanin is to see and feel the ability to manifest your dreams come straight from the blessings that have painted your skin brown. From the ancestors. From the thought seekers. The dreamers. To doers. Without your melanin you wouldn’t be who you are now and you wouldn’t have the power to become who you’re becoming.
