I could probably make this a WHOLE lot longer. But just a few things I’m not about to go for lol. If anyone knows me, this checks out lol

This is exactly how i was/am. Tired. But I’ve never been a quitter so when I start something i am ways finish! I just had to find a new way to make my clothing business make sense with my wellness brand. And honestly it really just boils down to #naturalhairstyles being me. It’s all a part of me. I didn’t even really have to think that hard to be myself. Like duh lol I can’t wait to show what being so still has helped me come up with! It’s really a new level of asterisk and i can’t wait. One of the best things I’ve learned during my journey is to continue to do things you love. So don’t quit that habit that makes you smile just cause you’re under the weather. ☺️

Lil quick update on the *Risky Healing * journey! I feel stronger and better everyday. I truly love myself and the journey God has sent me on. No one said it would be easy but it’s giving me so much perspective. I’ve blocked out to so much outside noise, locked in and really have entered a season of womanhood that i didn’t know i had to experience. I’m a creative power force and a healer. The time is now! And I’m so happy that i have ppl in my corner that see where I’m going. I’m not even illl. I just had to a to do a lil reset you feel me lmao. I love the present moment and the moments to come.

Everyday is a day to capture life and new experiences! Yall better start that brand or open that business instead of waiting for the perfect moment. IT DOESN’T EXIST. Take it from me lol I’ve been playing around with these hoodies about health. I think I’m ready to show 🥰

My mom is my rock and i owe her the world. I wish this type of love on everyone 💞 #mommysgirl

I know i talk a lot about c***** but thats just what Im dealing with.. this applies to healing in all facets; mentally, emotionally. Physically, spiritually…. god doesn’t call us to go to the dr and let the dr fully heal us. Nor does he really make us call on him (even though that’d be easier) lol He really wants us to realize he has given us all the tools in our bodies to recover. He gives us permission to use the mechanisms he put in place for us to slaughter any illness. Ain’t no place like home recovery. Stop. Take a breath. And heal the way our bodies were created. Happy Risky Healing

I wouldn’t be this far without these verses 🩷 they’ve been carrying me through my hard days and bringing me closer to Christ and healing ❤️‍🩹 If you know any more healing verses, drop them in the comments 🩷 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

LET’S talk about it! I can’t even keep count of the hundreds of opportunities I partook in while living in LA. Each and every moment was amazing! But sometimes, i swear i didn’t know how stressed out i was. Between piling on odd gigs that laid less than $150, to getting jobs that interfered with big paying opportunities.. it was a lose lose situation. Now didn’t get me wrong I had a lot of wins, but the stress sure crept up with it. And i know it trying to make it work out there contributed to my decline in health. I just was ignoring how i was feeling too heavily! So i advise you to check in with yourself DAILY. Catch it before it catches you. You’ll thank me later. Btw this was so fun to film. Another project i. The books 🥳

Moving back home was the best decision for me… The love, the support. My LA tribe did their BIG one don’t sleep but nothing beats family. I realized i hadn’t lived in New Orleans since i was 18. Being in my childhood bedroom, crawling in bed with my mother, seeing my dad more than 3x a year are super healing to my nervous system. Sometimes we are really stressed and we don’t even know it. Since hindsight is 20/20, i can admit that LA stressed me out over the last 7-8 years and it took a toll on my health. Stress is one of the number one causes of chronic illness. That being said, I’m so happy New Orleans greeted me with a warm hug when i touched down. Although i haven’t gotten to do much. Just listening to the rain and my mom yap on the phone has given me so much peace it’s not even funny! Once again, God had been nudging me to move home for a while but i was stubborn. DONT IGNORE THAT NUDGE. He will make you obey eventually… i promise. Happy Risky Healing ❤️

HEALTH IS WEALTH. I know people say it all the time but you don’t realize how important it is until it is gone. Take care of yourself and take care of your finances. When you’re sick, i promise you… you’re not thinking of anything else. It’s so much easier said than done because a lot of illnesses creep up on you over time instead of hitting you instantly, but you gotta look at the examples around you and understand it can happen to anyone. I’m still doing my best to take small batches of orders… but I’m def not the machine i was before. I’m being forced into resting. When God wants you to sit down. YOU SIT. Happy a Monday guys 🩷🙏🏾🥰

Yall i wanted to give up SO bad. As soon as the doctor told me they suspected dis-ease in my colon i collapsed. @kamille.deville and I had already been planning my campaign, but i really wanted to scrap it. I was no longer in the mood to strive for greatness. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have had such a successful outcome and made the most via asterisk til this day! This was just another reminder of how strong my support system is. Also, when you’re going through something, don’t forget to do the things you love and enjoy. That’s healing energy. It’s so much easier said than done but you’ll take yourself later i promise! I know I’ve been putting off the QA but the YouTube video will be up as soon as possible. Happy Sunday and happy healing 🩷

Yall know i have to keep my body moving… no matter how slow I am. Yall can look at my highlights and see how much of a gym rat i was. I know i will get back there and look at at this video like “DAMN! you couldn’t lift a feather😂” over here looking like jack skellington!! I’m super grateful for my mom and sister they really help me function and still be normal. This may not be the workout that i want but this is what i can do at the moment. All of the excercises are helping get my lymphatic system moving which helps with my condition. It’s hard looking at myself like this but i know I’m healing everyday because God said I am and I’m doing my part. And that’s on Romans 8:28!! Thank yall so much for the support and encouraging words. i may not respond or everyone but i see it and wont forget those who were there when i hit rock bottom. Only up from here!! Also, thank you for the donations. They are helping out SO much. You don’t even know. If you would like to donate, the link is in my bio. Love yallll happy risky healing!!
