    Still Being a Good Girl?

    Still Being a Good Girl?

    That Dirty Word: Submission

    That Dirty Word: Submission

    Sit it Down!

    We didn't come her to play; we came here to work. Literally. And many of us are still moving at lightning speed from dawn to dusk. Sister Tricia Hersey, found f the Nap Ministries, says "rest is revolution." And we believe her. Are you ready to stop rushing and grinding and begin to revel in rest? 

    Hot Body Summer

    Hot Body Summer

    We are calling out all the cover-ups, shawls and mumuus. Let's let go of the layered look and bring summer sunshine on the parts of our bodies we usually conceal in shame and body negativity. Why sweat in shapewear or wait for some fantasy body? Our skin deserves to glow- today. What area of your body will unveil and treat to a breeze and sun kiss?

Truth, No Lies!

I feel nourished and empowered by the conversations shared. I feel the strength and depth of intellect and social awareness that other platforms neglect just to promote ugly stereotypes and mental lethargy. Congratulations ladies, you are on the path less traveled, but it is the route of Excellence!!!
