Because it’s National Daughters Day! To the one who has been at my side for 3 decades, to the one who challenges me to be better and to do better, to the one who encourages me to see the world through a different lens, to the one I would choose to do life with over and over again. 🤎

I am seeing a LOT of fractured friendships because of the unreasonable and unrealistic expectations people place on themselves and each other.

Evaluate your friendships and go back to basics.

Happy New Month!

Hello good people! If you are new here.. welcome! I am grateful you are here.

August ended on a positive note for me! With gratitude my first one year Inner Child Reparenting cohort just ended. Those women are carrying lighter emotional baggage, they have healthier relationships with themselves, they are better mothers, partners, daughters, siblings, coworkers.. not because they are pushovers but because they know themselves better, they have compassion for themselves and others and more importantly, they have solid boundaries.

To celebrate I went out dancing with good friends and family!

As I usher in September.. I feel equipped to handle whatever comes my way, because I know who I am.

This Pride Month, remember:
Living as your full, authentic self is not just brave—it’s healing.

Whether you’re out and proud, quietly exploring, or still learning to feel safe in your truth.

Your story matters.
Your voice matters.
You matter.
Your joy is sacred.
Your identity is valid.
Your journey is yours to honor.

When we don’t make an effort to truly see the human being in others we become complacent when people are dehumanized.

When we create moral exclusions where people are mistreated based on their gender, race, skin color, age, religion, and sexuality we dehumanize.

Dehumanization makes us lose our ability to listen, communicate and empathize with each other.

I encourage us to reflect on what we accept for others that we would not accept for ourselves or our loved ones. Let’s make it a habit to ask ourselves, “What in me makes it okay for me to be okay with something I would not want or accept for myself?”

Let’s strive to be better humans for other humans and for ourselves. After all, we are ALL human first before anything else.

Gentleness is Not Weakness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! My intention for this month and the rest of the year is to lean into gentleness.

I grew up in an environment where adults were harsh with words and body language. While this was normalized, I recognize that as black women around the world, harshness is our default setting to survive the environments we live in and work in because they were not created for us in mind and our gentleness is viewed as a sign of weakness!

I am know that my gentleness is rooted in knowing myself and being at peace with who I am even when I don’t agree with those around me. It is rooted in clarity not fear. It is the reason I can cultivate a healthy relationship with myself and others.

In this moment I acknowledge that the harshness might have protected me and helped me survive but it also cost me relationships and opportunities. I am in my soft era where I am not in combat mode when interacting with people.

I invite you to be gentle with yourself and others in the month of May. It is good for your mental healthy and for those around you.

If you will join me in this journey, put in the comments how you plan to cultivate gentleness in the comments

Have you ever paid attention to how people around you react towards you when you raise your voice especially when you are upset or frustrated?

Have you ever stopped to pay attention to how those around you experience you? Do you take time to notice people’s facial expressions and body language when they interact with you?

Like flowers humans need nurturing. Kindness is nurturing.

As we say goodbye to April and welcome May, remember to be kind with your words, be kind with your voice, be kind toyourself and the universe will respond with kindness.

Today is Global Pay It Forward Day!
A reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can create a ripple far beyond what we see.
Whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, a word of encouragement, or setting a healthy boundary, you have the power to shift someone’s day and maybe even their life.

How will you pay it forward today?”
