Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.

Keep going sis, this discomfort is temporary.

Growing & Glowing

Sooooooo, y'all I need a space to release that's not IG.

I don’t bother nobody and I’m not bothered by nobody... that’s peace.🌻🖤

Confidence hit real different when you've been prioritizing your healing!

Y'all, for the first time as an adult adult.... I am truly single. It's been extremely bittersweet but damn, it's reminded me that I AM THAT GIRL. I allowed my previous relationship to steal my joy, my light, my security, my confidence, and the list goes on. But babyyyyyyyy

I am here, I am better, I have been restored, and I will never be the same.

I got me and that's on that.

Investing in YOU will solve 99% of your problems.

If I tell you I'm broke and you accidentally see me spoiling myself, I don't owe you any explanation. I'm broke to YOU, not to myself.

Roy Moore lost. Steve Bannon lost. Donald Trump lost. Pedophilia lost. Bigotry lost. Homophobia lost. Racism lost. Doug Jones won. Mitch McConnell won. African-Americans won. Women won. Victims won. Justice won. Morality won. Values won. Sanity won. Decency won. America won.

Never forget, After Roy Moore said gay people should be put in jail, After he said the country was better off under slavery, After he said Muslims have no place in public life, Even after he was outed as a serial pedophile, The GOP ENDORSED him and FUNDED his campaign.
