Chapter 27. ✨✨✨✨
God gave me a LOT in chapter 26 😭😭😭 a lot of blessings, a lot of tears, trials, tribulations, TESTIMONY, but most of all peace. Peace with my story, peace with who I have in my life, and peace over what is to come. I love y’all. Chapter 27, you start today and I’m thankful in advance for whatever you bring.

1 year barred today 🥹🥹🥹 Officially been a licensed attorney for 1 year. Wow. Living in SOOOOO many answered prayers. Time flies. I don’t take the proper time to really sit and appreciate where I’ve been and where I’m going but I am so excited for the future and so thankful for everyone who has supported, uplifted, or encouraged me. 😭🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾October was already the best month 🫣but my license anniversary date makes each October for the rest of my life a little sweeter. It’s been a crazy ride so far tooooooo be honest but God’s had me the whole time and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 10.08 you’re in my heart five-ever and thank you to everyone who’s gotten me here, yall have my heart. Sincerely yours. 🥹🥹💕💕💕

26 🖤
Black Rain
Here I am standing in a pool of blessings as blessings continue to rain down on me and everyone in my life. I am loved by God and so many people in my life that it humbles me every year. I LOVEEEEE my life and I can’t wait for another year of joy, laughter, LAWYERING, and honestly whatever I decide to do usually last minute haha
What a year and honestly what a month!! 😭 On October 7th I found out I passed the bar and on October 24th I was sworn in by my favorite professor. 25 held some of the most important memories of my life and I can’t wait to see what 26 holds. I was able to bring in my birthday with my family after a beautiful weekend of celebrating love! And now to another year of prosperity.
Black Rain.

The morning of the exam, I was listening to this album and was shaking so hard I could barely give my ID to the parking attendant at NRG. She said good morning to me and the only thing I could do was whimper back because if I opened my mouth I would have burst into tears. When I left the exam I heard a voice say “you passed.” But in my own self doubt I struggled to believe it. He told me from the moment I left NRG that I had done enough and all I had to do was believe. Yet still I thought about the times I could have studied harder and whether I had in fact done enough. Through storms, mold, sickness mental and physical chaos, He pulled me through. #itiswritten #oneanddone #blacklawyers

SOOOO MUCH SBA 🥹😭
DOCTOR OF LAW!!!!!😭
We did it!! I say we because I absolutely did not do this on my own. I had God my Lord Jesus Christ with me the ENTIRE time, the support of my family, amazing friends, wonderful boyfriend, and classmates. 3 years full of dedication, determination, and detriment to my personal free time here we are 😭 FINISHED WITH HONORS 😭😭😭 GOD DID!!!!! Law school has taught me so much and THURGOOD has taught me so much but I wouldn’t trade my knowledge and experience for the world.
My story is just starting and it will be written in history. You’ll see. All glory to God and all love to y’all 💕💕💕💕
Ps. The reason my face was like that in the champagne shot was because the wind was simultaneously blowing ALL of that back in my face lol, walked off campus smelling like straight LIQUORRR 😭😭😭
Lol it wasn’t that hard 💅🏾✨💕
