Todays prayer call lesson: you think that all of this hardship and all of these challenges has been a work of the enemy, but God’s been making room. His promise is to perfect everything concerning you…but He’s gotta build up your endurance first. (1/2)
My best friend’s fiancé just texted me to ask if I could check in with her and plan a lunch/dinner because “she hasn’t been herself lately” and he thinks some friend time would cheer her up.
I’m finna cry cause that’s so sweet, thoughtful and loving.
I just did the math and I only need 5 clients at my highest package to maintain a 5-figure monthly revenue for my business. I can do that! I can do that…right y’all? 😭
Good morning. I basically just secured a holiday campaign with Lifetime (no big deal) and negotiated more money (because, duh). So, yeah. Going to cry in the prayer closet now 🙃
Okay, the contract has been signed (literally screaming and actually crying). I’m gonna share with y’all first and IG will find out when I post…I just signed a contract for an influencer collaboration with freakin MICROSOFT 😭😭😭😭
Many of you are currently waiting + expecting God to show up for you in a very specific way…and you’ve been waiting for a long time. It’s not going to happen in the way you’re expecting it to, so you need to (re)posture yourself to receive it in a new way.
Starting Monday, I really wanna see what me and my body can do in 30 days with discipline. Ima take some before pics. I’m gonna plan my meals. And the goal is 5-6 workouts per week this month.
Y’all hold me accountable.
Someone just reached out to me to ask for tips/advice on how I approach hotels for [influencer] partnerships. I sent a 1.5 minute voice note and 2 screenshots and she sent me $75 for my time 😭
The amount honestly means nothing compared to her willingness to value my time.
When I finally accepted that I can’t be every thing to everyone, I also released the habit of chasing after folks when they attempt to guilt me into being smthn I don’t have the capacity to be in that moment.
Watching this Red Table Talk and I’m reminded of something my therapist said. A lot of us “helpers,” are drawn to people who need help and feel the need to “fix”people because of our issues with codependency. Instead of fixing (read: facing) ourselves, we look for who we can fix.
The fact that the last day of 2022 was rainy and the first day of 2023 is full of sunshine.
God chose to wash away the old and wake us up to the sun on January 1st. That’s a prophecy!
Sooooo, a Black Woman Owned company reached out to Aisha and I to join as their Events Team — and yall, I know God created the position just for us as a team based on our individual gifts! And...the best part....the pay?!? Y’all.....God is making room.
This week, a celebrity stylist DM’d me to ask about social media management. Even if she never signs a contract, the fact that my reach is going where it’s going?!? God, I see you 😭
It’s the fact that I quit my job almost 2 months ago (unexpectedly) and I’ve literally lacked nothing. If you don’t know God, I’d be happy to take a second to tell you about Him….whew 😭
My yt coworker (who I love) randomly sent me money today and said “for whatever you need right now. Times are crazy and I love you.” At this time I’m accepting that as a small portion of reparations.
This NC St*te Day of Giv*ng is always so interesting because like, haven’t I given y’all enoooough?!
•6 years of my life
•Money that I didn’t/DONT have
•My service/labor
•My Blackness for yo quota
I mean dang! Can YALL give ME some money? SHAT!
TW: self harm.
In mid school, I dealt w/ my (undiagnosed at the time) depression + anxiety by cutting. I didn’t do it long, but enough to leave scars I saw every time I looked at this spot. This was my reminder to allow my life to be beautiful again even with ugly scars.
Hey guys. I pitched to a hotel for the first time. They gave me a discount on the room (plus are upgrading the room) and they’re asking me if there’s anything else I want to explore during my stay. I’m like....really doing this! K bye 😬😬
And what makes this even sweeter, is that I didn’t pitch to Microsoft. I didn’t even have them on my radar. But smbdy spoke my name in the room and God said yes. That’s the part that’s tearing me up. I’m feeling like auntie Tab - all I keep saying is “oh God I thank you.”
I don’t have the luxury of forgetting where [what] God brought me from and out of. It’s necessary for me to remain conscious of the fact that He is a faithful deliverer.
When I look back over my life, and think on ALLLLL that He’s done for me! WHEW!!!!
Today, my therapist told me that my habit of attaching my thoughts/feelings to every situation is what triggers my anxiety; especially in certain relationships.
Thoughts are not facts.

My first hotel partnership of the year and they pulled out alllll the stops already. I’m talking a limited 4-course menu just for me AND a special cocktail with every course 😭
Y’day I announced that I’d be officially open for business today at 12p, then snuck my website link in my bio last night. At 10p, smbdy booked a consultation with me for today at 12 😭🙌🏽
Reached out to a brand that was looking for a social media manager. Pitched services at one price based on their budget because I believe in them…they came back offering me $300 more/month. Me and my team ⬇️
