I was scrolling down my Facebook feed before bed (a useless guilty please of mine) and stumbled across a video clip of Kevin Gates being interviewed. Now Kevin Gates is without a doubt a product of his environment, but he’s also proven to be very aware of societal issues as well as seemingly intelligent. He…
Unless you were on another planet over the weekend, you’re aware of the chaos Beyonce caused by debuting an HBO documentary titled “Lemonade” that she had announced only three days prior, ending our Saturday nights with a new album. The Lemonade documentary was… heavy, for lack of better words. It wasn’t your average Beyonce. She…
For those of you who know me, you’ll know that I’m a very independent thinker. I don’t want anyone telling me how to think, why I should be thinking that way, or why it’s the right thing to think. I’m very much so an Alpha female with an A-type personality, so I rarely budge. It has…
I saw a quote on Instagram (where some of my greatest thoughts are provoked LOL) that read “girls always trying to rush you into a serious relationship like we didn’t just meet in 2002” and I won’t lie, it got a good laugh out of me. But realistically, it’s not very funny. There’s actually nothing…
A couple of months ago I was having drinks after work with some girlfriends when we were approached by an older gentleman making small talk. He goes on to ask us what we do – me, working in PR, my friend working in the surgical field and my other friend working in nonprofits. Respectfully, he’s…
I was recently scrolling through my bookmarked articles and ran across one I’ve had saved for years called “Fuck Yes or No” by Mark Manson. In this post, he talks about a gray area that occurs in most early stages of dating where feelings and direction are unclear or one person is much more interested…
How often have we heard the phrase “if you look for something, you’re going to find it” when pertaining to relationships? I remember hearing it as a child from my mother and grandmother insinuating that if you seek an issue, you will undoubtedly find what you’re looking for. We’ve heard it so often that somehow…
Hi, I’m a pretty girl with a lot of Instagram followers and I do not have a sponsor. I don’t know when the sponsor trend became so relevant but I’ll assume it has a lot to do with unemployed Instagram models being able to afford designer shoes and overseas vacations without the financial proof. To…
There’s Courtney at 21, in the club on a Friday night enjoying a glass of Rosé for my sisters birthday and I’m proud to say I can still fit that jumpsuit five years later. I was born with an old soul so naturally, I’ve always felt pretty mature for my age. I had my head…
We live in a time where almost everything is public. Accomplishments, new cars, picture perfect bodies, vacations and weddings are all paraded in our faces on a daily basis thanks to social media. Just when we think we’re doing good, we see someone doing better than us while looking better than us. “The reason we…
It doesn’t happen often, but it happens; and every now and then I get thrown off my center. It could be a relationship that needs some communication, or a stressful week at work and I’m quick to second guess what I’ve proven to be capable of. Recently for me, it was a quick conversation with…
Proverbs 4:23 is easily one of my favorite Bible verses, and I refer to it often. It’s no coincidence that the Bible advises you to protect your heart, the quality of your life stems from how your heart feels. The way that you view yourself, the energy that you give off, how you treat others, how well you…
Ayesha Curry recently had some controversial tweets regarding what she prefers to wear, in comparison to what other women prefer not to – and that’s great. Speak your mind girl! It’s always refreshing to see women who are comfortable exactly how they are, and don’t feel pressured to mimic what they’re constantly seeing around them….
One thing that everyone I know, including myself, has struggled with, is trying to pinpoint what we feel like our passion is. I believe life has a special way of taking you through a specific course designed just for you in order to put you exactly where you belong and that there is no greater…
There was a video circulating on Facebook of Boris Kodjoe and his wife doing a sit down interview regarding their new talk show. They’ve been married 10+ years so every time I see these two, they’re being questioned about marriage, which is fair. I sat through the entire thing because just like everyone else, I want…
