Get That Old Thang Back!
Working with mothers is such a wonderful experience. I love it because when we talk about the crazy and funny antics their little or big ones get into their faces just glow! Their eyes shine bright, a smile appears and they are caught in the beautiful memory.
This is the same feeling I recreate with a glam experience. You being caught up in the moment of seeing yourself not as a mommy, but as a beautiful womxn. A womxn that gets to define her narrative of what motherhood is to her.

Finding Freedom in Your Own Body
A few weeks ago I joined Clubhouse after swearing I wasn’t going to do it because I am team Android. Many of the business womxn I know told me it was made for me and my message. I got on and whoa! It was like the damn Wild West on this Clubhouse streets. I was not impressed and was really ready to chuck the duces and keep it moving. After more exploration and really cultivating my interest, I think I kinda got the hang of it now.
A few days into my journey I ran across a room for photographers and decided to join because the title of the room was Purpose and Positivity in Photography. I listened for a while and then decided to get bold and raise my hand to go on stage. I did this because representation matters. As I recall there was only one person of color on the stage. I got on stage talked my shit, answered a question or two, and left.
I received so many messages and follows after this. Amazing messages thanking me for getting on stage and how much it meant to see me there. I was even invited to be apart of a podcast! There will be times when you are uncertain about what you are going to say, but you know you need to speak up. Always speak up, because you never know who is listening and who you inspire.

My body is magnificent
I have not been taking good care of myself. Eating shit that is not healthy. Working until midnight and staring at the computer for hours. This weekend I decided a staycation was in order. I packed my things and headed to Baltimore making a promise to myself to leave social media alone! I read, watched Coming to America, and read some more. I finished 2 novellas and a book. Even found a new author, Jessica Cage.
I tell womxn to invest in their radical self-care on a daily basis and I was not doing the same for myself. I am going to start doing better because I have no other choice. If I want to make sure I am creating safe spaces. I have to make sure I am creating a nurturing and safe space for myself too.
I will be doing a series of images from this staycation. Be sure to come back and check it out.
