I’ve seen a lot of people express interest in being an ally for the Black community, but unsure how to go about it. It’s not enough to say “I’m not racist.” You must actively practice anti-racism and unlearn years of systemic micro-aggressions. It’s shocking how many ‘influencers’ with thousands of followers went back to posting their outfits as soon as it seemed ‘acceptable’ again. Not surprisingly, it’s the same ones who shared a performative black square & called it a…
I won’t even hide it, I know a thing or two about motivation. So much so, that almost everyday I have a new DM waiting for me on Instagram or Twitter asking for advice on staying motivated. I’ve been working on this post for a longgg time. Not because I haven’t been motivated (lol), but because I was trying to best articulate the stepping stones to reach magical motivation mountain. But before I lead you there, we need to break…
There’s no denying the current global pandemic has impacted our lives in so many ways. Millions have lost jobs, thousands are sick and have died, and our frontline medical workers are underprepared with protective gear and equipment. We are separated from our friends and family and there doesn’t really seem to be an end in site. It’s easy to feel helpless, but there are still several ways you can volunteer and help out your community. This is the time to…

Here are nine healthy morning habits I’ve developed over the years that have contributed to success in all parts of my life…
Do you ever crave a really good grilled cheese? I’m talking crunchy crust, oozing cheese, and absolute mouth-watering flavor? Same. Although I’ve significantly cut out both bread and dairy from my food intake this past year (mostly to help clear up my skin!) I do like to indulge in a gooey grilled cheese from time to time. With everything currently going on—you know, the pandemic, social distancing, self-quarantine—comfort food is very welcome in my house! My favorite grilled cheese combo…
Self-care has become such a buzzword lately, but I feel like it’s something we’re being forced to do at this point. How good do you really feel after going through the motions—put on a face mask, binge Netflix—and then bam! You’re supposed to feel better?

As we’re globally combatting COVID-19 and practicing social distancing, I…
