Could there be a more ominous title? The answer is yes. But I’ll save it for my next click-bait update 😉
In all seriousness, holy 2020. What the hell happened and how do we make it… continue!
Yep. How do we make it happen again?!
One thing I love about pain that’s what she said is how much clarity you gain on the other side.…

“Racism isn’t getting worse— it’s just getting filmed.” Will Smith had it right when he said this a while ago.
I don’t speak for the Black community; I speak with them. And I’d apologize for my tone, but you’ll just have to excuse my manners as my exhaustion and hopelessness for this country is the only voice I can speak with right now.…

If you know anything about me and how I operate, I’m highly strategic about most aspects of my life.
Before I’ve done something, I’ve already mapped out why I need to do it, because the dance around the playground of pros and cons can be never-ending.
Without sounding like an extremist, I’ve always been someone who’s either all in or all out.…

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I regularly share and recount some of the trials I’ve overcome on my journey, both personal and entrepreneurial.
One of the reasons I feel like I was put on this Earth, is to be a vessel of light and help others see what’s possible for themselves.…

In the past few days, the world quickly became united by two subjects: Covid-19 and Tiger King. The year is 2020 and this is real life.
Trying to make the most of these uncertain times we’re in, I figured I’d indulge in what seemed to be written off as garbage TV and cheap entertainment.
Not a single thing I saw or read beforehand would’ve prepared me for what eventually played out, and that’s the sole motivation for writing this now.…

Blogging, my old friend. It’s been a year since my last blog post, and this wasn’t how I imagined I’d return, alas, here we are.
It’s a horrifying thing to write such vulnerable accounts of your life, but I’m a firm believer that the most powerful thing you can do, is share your story, and liberate others who feel trapped and alone by their circumstances.…

Whooosah, this was hard to write. But I hope that by reading, you can walk away with the universal truth that the failure to acknowledge something’s presence has never and will never make it go away.
Getting to the root of the problem, whether in your health, finances, or broken relationships, is the only way you’ll ever find a solution, breakthrough, or closure.

First and foremost, I’m extremely aware of my passport privilege and this lifestyle that allows me to travel more than the average person.
But the truth is that if you travel enough, you’ll find that some places either don’t live up to its expectations, albeit slightly unrealistic (thanks, Instagram!), or feel a little bit overrated once you finally land.

If you’re Black, Asian, Latinx, or racially ambiguous in the slightest, but were born in a first world country, it’s likely that you’ve been on the receiving end of this question: “but where are you REALLY from?”
And I’m not referring to the friendly small talk where this question springs up from genuine curiosity. I’ve been mistaken for Brazilian, Colombian, Jamaican, South African, and more — from people trying to figure out what box to put me in.…

Many of you have probably seen the BBC News article floating around this week about a restaurant in New York (Nello is the name if you’re curious) that told a woman she couldn’t sit at the bar alone as the owner was wanting to, and I quote, “crackdown on hookers.”
How considerate. *eye roll*
But it brought attention to the much bigger picture of the stigmas placed around a woman who, by choice, wants to do something alone.…

The irony isn’t lost on me, that someone who basically gets paid to create content for social media is telling you all how it’s essentially ruining your life. But stay with me here.
Because it’s not exactly social media that’s ruining your life, but rather, your relationship with it and the ways in which you consume it.…
