“...consider the possibility that to love blackness is dangerous in a white supremacist culture- so threatening, so serious a breach in the fabric of the social order, that death is the punishment” - bell hooks - I wish this picture was better quality, but I’m sharing because being in the presence of such a legend was scary, but also extremely empowering. bell hooks is an author, educator, artist, critic, intellectual etc. - a woman that I will always admire. - During this time she reminds us - that our Blackness is beauty but also a threat. That loving ourselves is often met with death. Words that sadly still ring true, but should not be discouraging. Now is not the time to stop and be silent! - I’ll never ever forget this day and what she said to me when we met! 💕 - #black #blackgirlmagic #blacklivesmatter #icantbreathe #myblackisbeautiful

I’ve been told no plenty of times, but I’ve been told yes 10x more. The no’s never stopped me from getting back up. I knew that no was never the final answer and one person’s no ALWAYS made room for a better yes. Never loose the drive and determination...never loose sight of who you are. 💕

Almost 1 year ago (May 4, 2019) my life changed for the better. A year ago, I became “two degrees hottah”. My graduate school career was nothing short of an adventure but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Congratulations to the class of 2020! You did it! Be proud. Celebrate LOUDLY. 💕🥰

2020 has been a movie. 🎬 What kind depends on how you look at it. Remember to take some time out during this pandemic for yourself. Read a book. Watch a good movie. Exercise. Take a walk. 🌱Color. 🌞 Check in on your loved ones. We’re all in it together. Excuse my eyebrows - I’m letting them grow out since I have no one who can thread them for me 🤷🏾‍♀️

Little me not knowing in 2020 we would have to Quarantine! But life! Anyway, I’ve always had a smile on my face. 😂
