Baobab Speaks - BG Clique

Baobab Speaks – BG Clique

#BaobabSpeaks is when we open up our platform to elevate the voices of Black Women. Today’s sister voice is dynamic @itsthatclaude. Founder of BG Clique. Claudia has been a constant presence in my life but in these last 6 months through her platform, she’s kept me inspired. Her work with BG Clique is a constant reminder and push that as long as you have breath in your lungs, you can do anything.

Black Motherhood - Evlyn F

Black Motherhood – Evlyn F

In an effort to showcase stories of Black Motherhood during these extraordinary times, and combat the “Bad Mom ” crowd, I asked 30+ Black mothers to describe their time in quarantine in 3-4 word and to be as transparent as possible.

Today’s #blackmothehoodintimesofquarantine feature is Evlyn F, friend, sister, and Girl Trek Ambassador.

No long stories, just a picture and honest feelings on…

Black Motherhood In Times Of Quarantine

Black Motherhood In Times Of Quarantine

Late last week I was awakened by a story about the mental load of being a Mom in the time of quarantine and what stood out most is that none of the women looked like me. I wasn’t surprised but annoyed because even in a global pandemic our stories are ignored. I dug a little more on Al Gore’s internet and found only stories about Black and Brown people being the new face (a story for another…

Pandemics, Coronavirus, School Closures and You

Whew Chile, it is 2021 yet?

The last three weeks have been a whole lot of tough, and if we let the media tell it we have haven’t even seen the WORST! From denial of a pandemic sweeping the world, closing borders to closing schools we have become a society full of anxiety-ridden, stressed, physically exhausted, bone-tired extras in an episode of The Walking Dead ( I’m looking at you people…

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

STOP! Let me clarify before someone reading this thinks I’m talking about the holiday, I’m only talking about the holiday drinks here, and not just any drink but my beloved Moscow Mule.  During the last few year I’ve stepped my mule game up for the holidays, often incorporating cranberries to the ginger beer for a nice twist.  As my mugs began to age, I realized the inside of cooper mugs were…

The first thing I saw when we walked into Animal Kingdom was The Tree of Life, actual name the Baobab Tree. I am not afraid to share that I got a little choked up seeing these trees all across the park. The tour guide on the safari talked about the tree and how they feed, clothe and heal and CJ turned to me and said "Mommy this feels like a sign for you" He was right. When I chose the name Baobab Wellness for my site it was about bringing a brighter, healthier life to the the Blacl community. These beautiful trees reminded me of that.
