I can’t tell you how weird it feels to be in such a vulnerable and open conversation with someone who claims to be spiritually in tune and emotionally intelligent. Yet, not much about their behavior shows that to be true. The person who asks, “How are you doing?” or “What’s been going on in your […]
When it comes to skincare and beauty, there’s a dynamic duo that reigns supreme for me: sun protection essentials and skin tints. These two products can be very hit or miss for melanated people.

The reveal and anticipated launch of superstar Beyoncé and mother Ms. Tina Knowles’s new haircare line, Cécred, has reminded me of how Black women’s hair is a massive part of our lineage and identity.

Whether it’s allowing other perspectives to be shared or deep diving and taking time to dissect the simplicities and complexities of the human experience, I gain something after […]
I want to think that as human beings on this earth, we all want to be well, feel good, and heal any wounds we’ve gotten from the falls we’ve had in this life. I love how when some of us gain new information or knowledge, we get incredibly excited about this new gem or “aha” […]
Something called me to write about how we can care for ourselves this holiday season. I didn’t plan on a self-care guide, but here we are!
