Let's talk about REJECTION.⁣ ⁣ You may feel rejected today by someone you never imagined would ignore, dismiss, spurn or rebuff you. ⁣ ⁣ When this happens, understand that rejection isn't necessarily someone wanting out of your life. It's more than likely someone GOD needed out of your future.⁣ ⁣ The glass is ALWAYS half full sis! Keep your head up! #NikkiFreeStyle (at Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kQlMxlhog/?igshid=awh0h2anp4n3

Nikki & Chelsea Take New York! We are cousins by chance, but friends by choice. There is a 20 year age difference between us, but it doesn't seem like it. We both love the same things: good music, great food, international travel, historically black colleges & universities, and fabulous fashion, especially from black independent designers!⁣ ⁣ For @curvynoire during #NYFW, @shehailqueenn is wearing a lovely layered tulle top from the fabulous @shopoyemwen and I am rocking this purple goodness from @shoptikedi. Both are Atlanta-based and killing the game! ⁣ ⁣ When you flip through your closet, how many items can you say were actually designed by a black designer? Now increase that number by 25% before the end of the year. And then keep increasing! Why? Because there’s always a reason to support the fashion designers who strive to overcome notorious racial barriers within the industry.⁣ #NikkiFreeStyle #fatatfashionweek #nyfwstreetstyle (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PEFtIFIux/?igshid=58m8bkfl9yzq

Breast Cancer affects women and their families everyday. I have personally witnessed how this devastating disease has wreaked unimaginable havoc on the lives of family and friends.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My childhood friend Desiree and my college friend Trisha each lost their lives to breast cancer before turning 45. Each leaving small children, spouses, close family and friend to grieve such tremendous losses. I have become an advocate of sorts encouraging women to understand breast health and to get mammograms.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As a result, I have partnered with @wacoalamerica to help ensure more woman have access to breast health information and treatment, as part of the brand’s Fit For The Cure® initiative. In its 19th year, Fit for the Cure stages bra fit events with Wacoal’s knowledgeable and dedicated specialists all across the country. Between now and September 30, when you schedule a bra fitting appointment with a Wacoal specialist, you can help end breast cancer. While no purchase is necessary, Wacoal donates $2 to Susan G. Komen® for every woman who participates in a fitting, and an additional $2 for every bra or shapewear piece purchased at these events. Giving back to society is a major part of Wacoal’s philosophy, and an important factor in the growth of the brand. It’s also one of the reason I love working with Wacoal. Their amazing fitting bras and other undergarments are the icing on the cake!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The new 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝗪𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚 and the matching 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 I I am wearing the color Clove) live up to their name. They are both flawless and comfortable, and the color (I am wearing Clove) is totally brown girl friendly. And while I usually wear bras with underwire because I think they provide better support for my girls, this one holds me in place nicely. I probably could have even gone down a size.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I hope you will take the time to get fitted for a bra by a Wacoal specialist and help the fight against breast cancer. Women need women, and this is one of the easiest ways we can help our sisters in need of a cure. #ad #NikkiFreeStyle #wacoalwoman #fitforthecure @susangkomen #breasthealth⁣⁣ (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B19nydqFr5n/?igshid=12vd05v72yz09

#ad Absolut Vodka just made having a cocktail so much fun and a lot more delicious with its new Absolut Juice — and I am all the way here for it.⁣ ⁣ Made with Absolut Vodka, fruit juice, and natural flavors, the new Absolut Juice is delicious and hip! It’s my first time trying it and I am totally obsessed with the smooth Strawberry Edition, with its fresh rich notes of sun-ripened strawberries. The Apple Edition is delish too with both the aroma and distinct taste of a juicy ripened apple. Add a little club soda and fruit slices for a really refreshing --and might I add sophisticated spritzer! ⁣ ⁣ Absolut Juice comes in two flavors and two different sizes — 750 ml (my bottle of choice!) and a cute little 375 ml bottle that fits neatly in your picnic basket. Hey, like @lizzobeating says: It ain’t my fault that I’m out here getting loose, Gotta blame on the juice! That’s Absolut Juice to be exact! Click the link in my bio to find out where to buy and more info on this new cocktail! #AbsolutJuice #GetJuicy @absolutvodka_us (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v0-e_lLMS/?igshid=127br09czrf9s
