that amazing, unconditional insufferable love

but still exceptional love
🥂 congratulations to my people! so much love

everybody is always talking about peace,
but, as long you find peace in what you’re doing then you’re successful, and that’s what people don’t realize… cause the glory is in you.
a beautiful evening at the @femmeitforward Give Her Flowhers Gala … we’re in bloom 🌺
After nearly a decade, the @spikedwellness studios (BK and LA) have officially closed.
When I launched Spiked as a pop-up in 2016, I didn’t have a business plan. I only had a deep desire to create what I didn’t see. A space where people, especially Black women, could just be. A place where we could feel powerful in our bodies. Safe in our strength. Seen and celebrated exactly as we were!
What we built did just that but also so much more. The @spikedwellness team and community have blown my mind in all of the best ways and ignited a confidence, passion, and enthusiasm in my ability to build what I want to exist.
I am grateful.
… and in the disheartening times of so many Black and woman owned businesses closing, I want to assure you that this decision was made from clarity, confidence, and a full heart knowing that my time in this specific chapter is complete.
So be excited!! This is a closure but it’s also an evolution. Toast to honoring shifts, even when they’re scary. To choosing alignment over obligations. To what’s next, and what it will become.
To blooming 🌺
As an entrepreneur, mom, and woman constantly in motion, I still like to show up polished, and @sephora is my favorite place to grab my go-to hair and beauty products! #SephoraPartner #SephoraHairEdit #CuteatWork
this weekend reminded me how much i love and need my friends. it’s never lost on me how blessed we are that we get to experience authentic, deep love in every format, from our marriages to our friendships… the depth and certainty of it all is life’s gift to us. 🥂 #hamptonuniversityalumni
shout out @shoutoutlaofficial for the opportunity to reflect on the why behind my journey building @spikedwellness what drives me, grounds me, and keeps me going. I believe in the power of showing up. Not just for others, but for yourself—especially when it gets hard.
I hope it encourages anyone navigating change to trust their own timing, their own ambition, and their own truth! ✨ <turn me up inna chat>
random and intentional at the same damn time 😌…
because as much as they want us to see ourselves as brands, and show a perfectly curated existence I’m always gonna see me as a person first - with interests and opinions… feelings and cares… really living a life — a brand but a human too
<both are true>
I’m on the schedule every Sunday this month at 10:15 AM! If you want to workout but also want to be encouraged, inspired, and reminded who tf you are, pull up on me ✨
included a few of my moods… take what you need 🫶🏾
I had a really good time yapping with @balancedles on @balancedblackgirlpodcast ! We spoke about so many things... but my biggest takeaway is that many of the questions and validation we’re looking for is already within us— we just need to trust ourselves.
If you haven’t yet, go check out the episode!!! If you’ve already listened, I’d love to know your thoughts ✨
working. mommying. mommying. working. I’ve been thinking about what it means to be an ambitious woman (with children). What does community mean/what are my ideal communal needs as we’re raising children — especially not local to family. Where does grace end and excuses begin? Am I allowed to be tired — am I allowed to have fun (when literally there’s always something that needs to be done)? Lots of questions…
Which also made me think of a consistent question I get, how I do it all 🙃 and I’d say some days I do it happily, some days I do it tired, some days I complete 100%, some days only 30% — my only option though, is to get it done.
Sending energy to everyone but especially to the parents lol 😅
