This is for brown and black girls that look like me, talk like me and have had similar experiences and thoughts as me; I’m talking to you like your best friend or your favorite friend from the neighborhood, so think of me as such! Here you will only hear what I really think and feel, but most importantly, what works for me. Here I choose to be myself and not give a damn who doesn’t like it or has something to say. And lastly I’m here to motivate you to be the truest, healthiest version of you mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I've been going through some changes y'all! As I continue on my journey, come along with me and tune in to hear my thought process along the way! Today I reflect on learning to let go…which is not easy…

She provides us with a few of her skincare tips, as well as products she highly recommends. I hope you learn something and walk away feeling more confident in the skin you're in!

Happy Black History Month! I'm so excited to be starting my "Black Beauty Series" in celebration of Black History Month 2023. Of course I had to start with our crowns, talking about #BlackHair. On today's episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with my hair stylist of over 10 years, Ms. Keon. Tune in to hear about both her personal and professional journey with hair, along with our thoughts on opinions on the current state of black hair. I hope this can be a source of nostalgia as we take some trips down memory lane, as well as a confidence boost as we love on and appreciate how beautiful our black hair is!
