🌸💚 Happy Founders’ Day to my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated! 💚🌸

From unforgettable moments at Boule in Dallas, TX, to impactful conversations at our Policy Conference in Washington, DC, and every pretty in pink and gorgeous in green moment in between, I am beyond proud to uphold the legacy of our dynamic founders.

As Lambda Pi Omega’s Connections and Social Action chairperson, I am honored to do the work that continues to transform communities, inspire action, and uplift generations. 💕💚

Today, we celebrate 117 years of Service to All Mankind, and I remain grateful for the sisterhood, strength, and purpose that unite us. Here’s to the next chapter of excellence!

Gentle reminder. Just in case you needed one.

Inhaling the endless beauty of St. Lucia, I’m reminded of the goodness of God and a few reflective gems I’ve learned about myself that I really wish I could’ve learned in my twenties (not my forties):

💎 Loving myself means setting boundaries and protecting my peace, unapologetically.

💎 Discipline is self-love in action—it’s the bridge between my goals and my reality.

💎 Happiness isn’t found; it’s created in the everyday moments of gratitude. (It may sound corny but it’s true.)

💎 Survivor’s remorse is a scam. It’s okay to outgrow people, places, and habits. Growth is a necessary part of life.

💎 Rest is productive. Burning out is not a badge of honor.

💎 My worth isn’t tied to my achievements; it’s inherent and constant.

💎 Silence teaches more than noise ever could. Stillness ALWAYS reveals the truth.

💎 Maturity is learning when to speak up, when to let go, and when to walk away.

💎 Life is too short not to celebrate every win, no matter how small.

BONUS: Committing to adventurous side-quests is really the spice of life. Sometimes you may have to do it alone OR do it scared, but either way JUST DO IT, your future self will thank you!

Here’s to another year of loving, growing, and becoming. 🌊💫

L E T H E R C O O K. 🍳 Fresh off a six week travel run, I can finally simmer down and say just how much I loved my experience and speaking at the Food Wellness Equity Creator Retreat in Atlanta!

To be among dozens on influential authors, chefs and content creators in the culinary space was amazing and I was honored to present my interactive workshop, “Bridging The Gap: Expert Tips and Strategies for Negotiation” where I unveiled strategies and digital tools to leverage your personal brand, navigate the negotiation process to get paid your value and level up your money!

Thank you , and team for hosting an incredible experience! (We had a time!)
