As a child, I wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up. I could envision myself being grown, gorgeous, well dressed and powerful; strutting into a courthouse in a perfectly tailored suit and a monogrammed briefcase to win a case and go on about my day. I knew that it was something I would…
If I’m spending time in front of a computer during my work day, these sites are guaranteed to be typed into my browser. Here’s a list of my favorite sites that I visit daily and why – News: TheSkimm.Com – I get all the current news I need to know in order to stay informed…
Every year Mothers Day seems to come too quickly and I end up picking over what cards are left at CVS and buying dinner, but this year I’d actually like to gift my mom and sister with something they’d actually want. I rounded up some great Nordstrom gift options all for $100 or less. Nordstrom is…
I celebrated my three month anniversary since the launching of The B Werd at the beginning of this month. Not because three months is a significant amount of time, but because I like to celebrate even the smallest accomplishments. I think 90 days is plenty of time to get a good feel for what you’ve…
Because a lot of what I do for my brand and what I do for a corporate company coincide, I’m constantly looking for opportunities to learn more effective ways to do what I do, as well as learning new skills to stay on top of what’s new and why I need to implement it. I utilize Skillshare a…
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…
Being in Public Relations involves a revolving schedule of events ranging from professional happy hours to extravagant galas. More times than not I end up being the minority, in more ways than one. Whether I’m the youngest, the only woman or the only racial minority, I never look at it as a negative – but…
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you probably saw I was reading this book, The Year of the Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the book because she talks. in my opinion, more than she needs to. But after completing it, I’ve also decided that I’m going to…
How do you make friends in your twenties? Me and my old HS friends have mostly grown apart and I know you kind of begin to drift once your life takes a different path. I can count on one hand the amount of close friends I do have and I always find myself wanting to do…
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…
The first weekend of April, a group of 12 of us journeyed to Costa Rica to celebrate one of my best friend’s 27th birthday. I had never traveled with a group that large and as much as I like to talk, ironically I have a pretty introverted personality but we all ended up having a…
One of the most beautiful things about The B Werd is the opportunity that it gives me to be transparent with you guys. Regardless of what you see in photos, I’m a bit short of a Superwoman and just like you, I get tired, I get discouraged and I get impatient. I traveled for two…
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…
