learning to love and value every single inch of my being has been top priority as of late. i've lived long enough not appreciating who God created me to be. i'm waking up and not settling for the self-doubt and insecurities any longer. i'm accepting the power that rests easily in self-love. and i have no desire to misuse it.

falling in love with Mondays! when you realize Mondays are not meant to be dreaded, but are meant to be embraced because of the new beginning and opportunities, life gets that much better! it's all about perspective—happy Monday! ✨

it's hard to imagine a life filled with travel, doing what i love as a career, and being able to continue following these daily routines and schedules that i've created for myself this summer. it's almost like a dream that doesn't feel so tangible. having a vision and a plan has been paramount in my life over the past few months (i'm a late bloomer 🌺). my mind has been open to all the gifts i have and how far they can actually take me. — don't allow your visions and dreams be lay dormant, left to be nothing but hollow hope. allow God to elevate you beyond what you believe you're capable of doing. it's about acknowledging your fears , writing them off and activating your faith. — since i don't have a personal blog/website, i figured i'll use this as a platform to share a little more of myself, as i figure things out. 😊 i'll still share projects, but i also just want to share a piece of me with you.

figuring things out on the go is so incredibly humbling. you find that you're not able to sit and talk yourself out of doing things. you don't have time to be weighed down by doubt. you simply just begin to do them, with a brace heart, unapologetically—for you. exploration and experimenting is empowering. 🌺 give yourself a chance at it!

missing the Cuban crowd, sun, and food right now—still daydreaming about this Guava ice cream we enjoyed in the last hour of our vacation. 🍦 this is a photo of my love's cone because I was so ready to lick mine, I forgot to snap a photo! I'm so big! 😂 reminiscing over the trip makes me so excited for @thecocoahue to share the experience tomorrow! I hope everyone is having a sweet day, doing sweet and productive things! :) (at Habana Vieja)

think highly of yourself—not out of conceit, but out of self-preservation and self love. if you don't, no one else will for you. 🖤 #blackgirlmagic #naturalhair #selflove

reset & recharge. being disconnected is one of the healthiest acts of care you can gift yourself. you become present in your every move, thought, and response. everything you do is genuinely intentional. you enjoy life for yourself and not as a responsibility for the gratification of others. the distractions of life are replaced with more purpose and more peace. i could attempt to describe this season of my life with words, but they just wouldn't be enough. how are you intentionally taking time to reset and recharge? don't take that time for granted—from it, life is made whole. 🍃 — this was captured in the rainforest of Viñales, Cuba. truly a gateway trip. this is the beginning of something new.

there's a layer of confidence that you possess and wear that is electrifying. you ignite a spark of hope that is unparalleled. you excite even the sunrise. - hairstyle by @transformedbyO. - #sketchpeace #prose #electric #love #encouragement

someone asked, "what's the fragrance of passion?" i responded, "spring time will tell you, it's jasmine."

inside your skin. today, she remembered what it felt like to authentically and to genuinely be fully inside of her skin -

she remembered that her skin is filled to the brim with creative initiatives, so lucrative so smooth, strong like water rushing down a stream - so relentlessly free.

she remembered what it felt like to be me.
