And so I did a thing!!! My baby, Liberian Girl, officially launched in Liberia! What a special night for me. Love was truly in that room. From a dream… to a manuscript… to a red carpet moment back home. God is oh, so faithful!
On February 26th, I celebrated 26 inspiring “Liberian Girls.” Twenty six powerful women highlighted. Twenty six stories of resilience, brilliance, and impact. And here is the part that still gives me chills. The 26th is also Liberia’s celebration of independence. That date was completely unplanned. Let that sink in…
And of course, my Emily made a special guest appearance and she was loved by so many. Seeing her embraced so warmly reminded me why I started this journey in the first place. Representation matters. Our children deserve to see themselves in stories of courage and confidence.
Look out for Volume 2 of Liberian Girl, the 2nd edition of Emily Empowered titled Emily Empowers, and the debut of Monrovia Boy, all coming soon. We are building a generation that knows who they are.
And we are just getting started 🙌🏾

Still floating after this beautiful moment on air! Thank you so much to @livewithkellyhanson for the heartfelt interview! Your warmth made it feel like a conversation between sisters. I’m truly grateful to Suzanne for believing in my voice and creating space for this story to be shared.

Still feeling so inspired after yesterday’s WOW High Tea at the
beautiful FogRose Atelier in Kirkland. 🤍
It was such a meaningful experience evening surrounded by some pretty incredible women who are doing powerful things in their communities.
A special congratulations to Areesa Bourdon for being honored as a Woman of Worth. Her leadership, grace, and heart for service shine so brightly. She truly lives with purpose and uplifts everyone around her. Love you so much friend!
It was an absolute joy to witness so many women being celebrated for who they are and the impact they make. The energy in the room was full of encouragement, connection, and genuine support. 🫶🏽
“She leads with grace. She reigns with purpose.” What a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when we show up for each other and lead with love. 🩷

Mothering: an active verb. Undoubtedly the toughest job known to humankind, yet the most rewarding job ever.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the women blessed with such a beautiful responsibility.

Watched the @michaelmovie yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about his personal bodyguard, Bill!!! Just wow!
Through everything he faced, he had someone solid in his corner. Loyal. Present. Protective. That kind of support is priceless.
This picture says it all. It is my prayer that we all have a “Bill” in our lives. Someone who stands beside us, not just in the spotlight, but behind the scenes where it matters most!
Oh, and if you haven’t watched the movie yet, it’s so damn good! Best Biopic ever!🙌🏾🫶🏾👑❤️🖤

I couldn’t think of a better way to close out Women’s History Month. A day well spent with @sistercircleofdallas .
We started at the art museum with a beautiful guided tour, and ended the evening at The Charlotte. There’s something so special about being in the company of like-minded BAWSE women who pour into one another.
@ashleyollison , thank you for creating a safe space where sisters can truly connect, uplift, and grow together. I’m already looking forward to the next gathering.
👑💕🥂💐🌻
