On February 15, 2018, the movie that we all have been waiting for came out, Black Panther. In the opening weekend of this movie, it made over 400 million dollars. People came out and supported this incredible film. Some people dressed in African garb, while others wore outfits representing the African American culture. We all were captivated while we watched T’Challa, Kilmonger, Princess Shuri, Okoye, Nakia, and the other amazing characters come alive on the screen. But what truly made this movie special was Wakanda. Wakanda, a city ran by Wakandans (Black people), occupied by Wakandans, highly technologically advanced, and home of all the Vibrainium in the world. Wakanda is a…

Wait on God
God has been teaching me patience. We all know this because of me writing The Wait, The Gift of Patience, and Being Patient Because God Has You ( if you haven’t read these post you should, they’re Great!). But, I never talked about why or where did these blog posts stem from. Like why was I writing so much about patience and waiting on God? Well, sometimes you have to go through some heartache to learn the lesson. So, this post tells the reason why we need to be patient and wait on God. There will come a time in life that you learn just to trust God and the journey…

I love Good Food
One of the biggest components of your health is what you eat (aka diet). The diet is one of the hardest things to control but is extremely important. With the endless amount of places that you can get food and the busy schedules you might have, it is extremely hard to have a proper diet. I mean for me it is hard to eat healthy if I don’t meal prep on Sunday. When you have an unbalanced diet, your whole life is off balance (well that is true for me). So how do you keep your life in balance? Through a good diet! A good diet needs to have a…

What God Means to Me
Recently, I wrote this short little poem about what God means to me. I hope that you enjoy it and please comment below on what God means to you! God, the God of the universe means father. He protects me from seen and unseen danger. He takes my hand and holds it through the scary times of life. He holds me and carries me when I do not even know it. He help’s me choose good godly friends that will love and cherish me. God, the God of the universe means provider. When I am without He provides for me. Even when I am not worthy of it, He blesses me.…

What 2018 Taught me: My top 5 lessons from 2018
And just like that, we are in a new year. I can’t believe that 2018 is over. I feel as though 2018 just started. However, the year is over and 2019 is here! I am so excited about this new year. New opportunities, challenges, learning experiences and so much more is possible in this new year. The new year provides us with an opportunity to ‘restart’ while at the same time grow from all the life lessons we experienced in 2018. I learned a lot in 2018 and want to share my top 5 lessons and what they taught me. 1. Strength is a mindset. This year taught me that…

One Year Later… the Growth!
On December 6th, 2016 I big chopped my hair. After transitioning for a little more than a year, I decided to cut my hair. After I cut it, my hair took off and grew longer than it ever was when it was relaxed. Here are the four things that I believed helped my hair to grow. The first thing was NO HEAT! I do not put heat on my hair. The only time I did was when I graduated (back in May). Keeping heat off of my hair helped me not to heat damage it which helped my hair to grow. The second thing I did was protective styles. Whether my hair…

I Choose Me
The first step in becoming the Best Version of You is accepting who you are. When I started my journey of becoming the best version of me, I was at my breaking point. I didn’t like where I was in life and wanted a change. But, even though I was at my breaking point, it wasn’t until I chose the woman who I saw in the mirror and decided to love her at her current place in life that I was truly able to start my journey. What do I mean??? It is difficult to change something that you don’t like or love. Most of us want to make a change…

What Makes You Valuable
In my post You are Valuable, I shared the importance of knowing your value and worth and how you are valuable. But… if you are like me, you’ve probably asked the question, what makes me valuable? I will tell you! There are three areas that make you valuable; who’s your are, your personality and your heritage. Who’s are you? That’s a Great question. We are God’s children. In Genesis it tells us that we were created in the image of God, male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27). The Bible also tells us in 1 Peter 2:9 that we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and God’s special…

With God, I Can! Reprise
Back in June, I wrote a blog post With God, I Can! In this post, I talked about how I was frozen in life from fear and how I didn’t think I could move forward in life. I then talked about how God was thawing my fear, with His love and promises and how I realized that with God I am capable of seeing past my fear and seeing life with God leading me. When I wrote this post, it was more of a prayer than a testimony; I was still frozen by my fear when I sat down and penned it. Honestly, I was writing this to me; I was writing something…
