    TESTIMONY TIME: I have a reason to smile today. I TESTIMONY TIME: I have a reason to smile today. I paid off my first grad school loan in just 2 months. 🥳 ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ All while I was tithing and building my emergency fund. This is also the second student loan I've paid in full in 2020. Two student loans down, four more to go! And we're not even halfway through the year yet. ⁣But God.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Last year, I was struggling with my finances. Not because I was bad with money, but because I was bringing in very little income. So I used that season of my life to learn about personal finance and budgeting, and to cultivate a mindset where I could attract wealth. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ That ultimately led me to set a goal for myself to be debt-free within two years (or less). Although my financial situation has changed, I'm still sacrificing now for what I want later. I am choosing to trust the path that God has set for me even if it's not popular. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ P.S. I have a new blog post on my strategies to pay down debt faster & get control over your money. Link is in my bio. ✨
    It's pretty cool how God can bring opposites toget It's pretty cool how God can bring opposites together. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Where I am more reserved, Manny's extrovertedness challenges me to leave my comfort zone. Where I am always so serious, his goofiness helps me to chill out lol. I've always valued my personal space, yet I met someone whose love language differs from mine. When I am used to being so defensive, he encourages me to let my guard down. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I used to think I needed someone who was just like me. But I was clearly wrong lol. I am thankful for a partner that complements me so well 💛 #MannyBoo #MyLove #WhenNigerianJollofMeetsGhanaianJollof 😂
    "Almost everything will work again if you unplug i "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes...including you." ⁣⁣⁣🔌⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ May is Mental Health Awareness Month. And lately, the world feels so heavy with all of the events that have taken place recently. I found myself burning out a lot. And as an empath, the littlest things can throw me off if I don't disconnect as needed. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Manny and I decided to visit a vineyard this weekend in the mountains. It was located in a really small town of about 4,000 people, about an hour and a half away from the city. It has been my favorite experience so far this year. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I love the simplicity of being in slower-paced settings. I find that nature models a healthier pace of life and I can savor God's handiwork. It's good for my usually fast-moving, anxious mind. And although I enjoyed only two glasses of perfect wine, I was still feeling really good y'all, okay?! Whew. Lol. 🤣😬 ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ So this is a gentle reminder to pause and to unplug as needed this week. Your mental health and wellbeing matter more than ever. Please take care of you. ❤️
    This is one year of 4C natural hair growth. ⁣⁣ This is one year of 4C natural hair growth. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣I have my share of natural hair setbacks, but I keep going. I study and learn my natural hair and I do what works for me. I enjoy my journey because I believe in the potential of my hair type. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Be patient. Remain consistent. Trust me, your hair is not impossible to work with. 4C hair can flourish too. ⁣⁣⁣🌻⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ P.S. On the blog, I have a new post on low porosity hair tips that I use to grow out my natural hair. The link is in bio!
    I am two years anemia-free. 🌼 My hair is back t I am two years anemia-free. 🌼 My hair is back to its luster, shine and thickness and I feel like a different person. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Just a few years ago, I was in a season that was defined by personal neglect caused by a growing depression. I never realized the extent to which the abuse you experience can completely alter how you see and care for yourself. And when I finally started caring about myself, that's when I learned of my diagnosis. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Because of my past anemia diagnosis, I value my health so much more. I want to commit to living and being well. I know that healing is not a linear process. It is a journey. And that is okay.
    To the one that feels unseen, God sees you. 💛⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ He thought about you long before crafting you inside of your mother’s womb. Some days, I feel like I am not good enough, not worthy enough, or not useful enough. Comparison will rear it’s ugly head and I am left feeling completely drained and defeated. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Lately, I am being reminded to find my self-worth where it truly matters. It’s not found in the numbers, my success and perceived failures, or from the networks that I have. ⁣ ⁣ I learn my worth through knowing and experiencing the love of God. I can then truly see myself in the way that He sees me: I am valued, I am worthy, and I am loved.
