    January 11, 2019February 1, 2019

    I am afraid of failure. I took several deep breaths as I typed that out. 1) Even thinking of the “F” word has my heart skipping several beats. And 2)

    • I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be comfortable enough to wear shorts and sleeveless tops, yet here I am (plus, it’s way too hot in the South!). It took me years to get over this. I am learning to embrace my insecurities, and also realizing that the things we are most self-conscious about are truly all in our heads. I’ve been affirming myself that the more I do something that scares me, the more confident I become. Can we also talk about how bomb golden hour is on brown skin though? 💛🌞
    • I read a comment today saying that “Natural hair isn’t for everyone.” To be honest, I think that statement is a lie. How is the hair that naturally grows from your scalp not for you? I always wonder why it is that Black women, particularly those with kinky hair strands, continue to find it difficult to love and care for their hair. I think there are two main reasons: a lack of genuine learning and also having unmet expectations of what our hair “should” look like. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My own hair is prone to tangles, endless knots, and isn’t always cooperative. But I learn how to care for it because that’s how I build my confidence and to accept what God has given me. I do this also so that my future daughter learns to love her natural hair, because I sure didn’t as a kid.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Learn your hair. Let’s stop making excuses. ❤️
    • Afros all summer long (with the occasional protective style). ⁣ ⁣ Also, I’m loving how dark my 4C hair is lately, courtesy of Ayurveda! 🖤
    • Happy new month. 💙 This is a gentle reminder that it’s okay to be you. You are enough. We do not have to sell someone we are not to be heard or seen. You’ll go a long way just by showing up as you are.
    • Fun fact: I decided to get these bright reddish pink nails when I needed a little confidence boost. I got this color before my very first date with Manny! I was a nervous wreck that day y’all, lol. Red is one of my power colors, alongside orange and black. I might have to go back to this color and shape really soon. It is one of my favorite SNS sets so far. Do you have a color for a confidence boost? Or is it just me? 😜
    • My Ghanaian sugar ❤️ We sometimes have random debates over whose jollof rice is better. We all know Naija’s version wins. 😜 What is your favorite jollof?! And for those who’ve never tried the rice, what’s your fave cultural dish?
