A lot has transpired in the past few months that have taken up space in my world mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I’ve gone through phases of anger, pain, healing, love, grace, growth and change. Changes within and cultivating the changes I want to see in my space, community and the world. While growing and realizing where I was, where I am and where I ultimately want to be. ___________________________________________ Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss everything above and more as it relates to redefining corporate culture and really showing up as your most authentic self with @insideout_podcast hosted by the amazing @mswrightontime. Tune in to hear the gems, laughs and much needed real ness available now! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMaZ1yhScx/?igshid=1wk75qdzyofsn

it’s been forever since I’ve actually written anything from a free conscious state. Thanks to a poetry in quarantine (#date night) moment where I was able to recite some gems from the past and fuel inspiration to create for the future. Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CARDOETJjok/?igshid=1ry7gbby5d4zl

Happy Mother’s Day to Yvonne - my forever queen!!!! You’ve always been the glue to hold us together with your poise, strength, dedication and unwavering love. This photo is a throwback from the archive, but always a reminder that no matter what my mommy is always there!!!! Many of our healthcare worker moms (including mine) are working today to help take care of those in need. You all are such MVPs. Wishing all mothers a blessed and special day today 💕💕💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CABAHbRpIpd/?igshid=1wgzeh4arfnyb

I’m sure I am not the only one that feels like this, but getting through each day is getting harder and harder. The only things that have kept me going is my faith and hope for brighter days, my virtual support system and my guilty pleasure of online shopping (don’t judge- we all have our coping mechanisms). If you are like me and can’t help but to do some online browsing then check out our new collection in collaboration with @imadigitalrebel. It doesn’t hurt to express your 9-5 and 5-9 hustle on your next Zoom meeting 🔥🔥. Link in bio to shop your Non-Corporate Style! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZzRkFJGxz/?igshid=1d9iykk4jrh4z

Taking a moment to reflect on how hard I worked to get to the top, knowing that the marathon continues. The goal is ALWAYS to outdo myself. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_WM-RFjWF/?igshid=iiu4qsjdhea5

What self-validation looks like. It isn’t an easy task, but I get to give space each and everyday to remind myself that I got this. 📷 @dominirican914 https://www.instagram.com/p/B504HWDldG2/?igshid=1qh51rr96tq60

Sometimes we need a friendly reminder of self love and being an inspiration for ourselves. Thank you 🙏🏾 @brella.mar for creating such a beautiful vision of what that looks like for me. Your talent is undeniable and endless. I am blessed to be part of the #theselfloveproject. Follow her (if you have yet to do so) and tap into your own inspiration. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YGN3rlNfF/?igshid=oorxwinpcyhj

It’s always in the eyes. Behind my eyes is the strength, power and determination to continue rising and exceeding expectations I never knew I had. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3M_KKIFS0X/?igshid=11c0ms5gkbgao

Still on a high from @im.angelabassett epic @blackgirlsrock speech: “When they tell you that you’re angry or nasty, you tell them that they’re mistaken. This is me being resolute and standing firmly in my truth. And when they say you’re more beautiful, you tell them that you are the descendant of royalty. You are a queen.” Drops 🎤 (at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MjZLAFHIy/?igshid=1cgb9wn26mvd3
