There is one thing that continues to genuinely confuse, frustrate, and low-key break my heart: how much time we, as women, can spend critiquing each other… when we could be hyping each other up instead. I mean really. Somewhere along the way, “supporting women” turned into an Olympic sport of side-eyes. If we’re being honest …
Why Representation Matters (Yes, Even When We’re Tired 😅) Let’s start with the obvious: representation isn’t about checking a diversity box or adding a cute rainbow to the flyer. It’s about survival. It’s about visibility. It’s about walking into a room and not feeling like you accidentally RSVP’d to the wrong century. Representation for Black …

Here’s a New Year’s challenge for the mind: Make this the year that you quiet all those negative thoughts swirling around your brain, because constant negativity can also get in the way of happiness, add to our stress and worry level and ultimately damage our health.

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement, a few words of positivity and motivation to remind us that we indeed matter and are in fact worthy of love and compassion and even empathy at times. …
I won't waste time venting about the fact that we have the worst excuse for a President in office right now. What I do want to talk about is the troubling fact that both China and Russia have deployed nuclear-capable missiles to the frozen tundra that lies along Russia’s far-eastern border with China. And no one …

While I'm not a big fan of the game of football, I must say that I'm quite proud of the athletes who chose to kneel and take a silent stand. This is what being a patriot is all about! It's a shame when I hear folks who claim to love this country and want to …
