Sharing this list of black creators to follow is probably my favorite out of my black owned series! This list includes creators that I’ve loved and supported for many years as well as some that I found just a couple of years ago. While supporting black creators and building the black economy, please also support the organizations fighting inequality by checking out this national resource list that includes petitions and legal services for protesters. An easy and free way to contribute is by searching “Black Lives Matter Donate Playlist” on YouTube. Simply let…

Yara Shahidi Launched 7th Sun Productions With Keri Shahidi
As if we weren’t already impressed by Yara Shahidi‘s accomplishments, she has launched 7th Sun Productions with her mother Keri Shahidi. The icing on the cake is that they will be partnering with ABC Studios to create scripted and unscripted projects. Yara Shahidi has always been vocal about the injustice that black and brown people unfortunately face on a regular basis and in her recent Elle Magazine feature, she spoke on passing the baton. This is truly a huge way to pay it forward and contribute to the community. Starring in the hit…
20 Things I No Longer Buy
Evaluating decisions is always necessary in life so here are 20 things I no longer buy. I just realized that it’s usually minimalists that create posts like this. I am far from being a minimalist. I love having a vast variety of things. I also enjoy being a woman with strong will as it makes it easy for me to stop doing anything that I decide to cut out of my life. Before checking out the items I no longer buy, support the organizations fighting inequality by checking out this national…
Jackie Aina is Launching Forvr Mood
Jackie Aina created a brand (finally) and it’s called Forvr Mood. I’m super proud of Jackie and all that she’s accomplished thus far. From her incredibly successful YouTube channel to her Artist Couture collab and Anastasia Beverly Hills collab and now her own brand! I feel like a proud sister! I’ve watched Jackie Aina on YouTube since my early college years when she slayed her face while still being in the military. Its so refreshing to see how far she’s come. We don’t know what Forvr Mood will entail as…
Are We Back To Brunching? Pink Summer Dress For Brunch at Jue Lan
To brunch or not to brunch while still keeping safe in quarantine is quite a decision. I had brunch at Jue Lan because my friend recommended it and my first time back at brunch had to be at an upscale black-owned restaurant. I think its still important to quarantine and deciding whether you should partake in brunch is highly dependent on your location. In some cities, its perfectly fine to brunch (as long as you have your mask on of course), while other cities are experiencing a tighter shutdown with…

Stepping Out in Yellow High Waist Culottes
I stepped out in yellow high waist wide culottes! I finally stepped out (for real for real) for the first time after being in quarantine since mid-march. I’m not open to going out as much as I used to but it’s definitely refreshing to see people I love after not seeing most of my loved ones for so long. I’ve been enjoying yellow a lot lately and this look is no exception. Its always been important for me to keep it bright regardless of how I feel. If I don’t…
Bantu Knots – My Natural Hair Story
I wore bantu knots while transitioning from relaxed to natural hair 10 years ago. My last relaxer was December 2009. It was my first semester in college and I decided that I no longer wanted to relax my hair. Having natural hair wasn’t popular back then and I actually received a lot of rebuttal for my decision. I remember someone from a church that I used to attend asking me what I plan on doing with my hair if it’s not going to be relaxed! As if there was no…
