The recent influx of Cancerian energy intended to illuminate the aspects of our shadow that couldn’t come forward into this new phase of life. The final stage of shifting from surviving to thriving. Cancer is ruled by the moon, so it intended to ‘shine a light in the dark’ if you will. Having done the work to release emotions that were no longer needed to carry, the path is cleared to create a life in alignment with your authentic self. Cue, the full moon in Aquarius. Coincidentally, Leo & Aquarius oppose each other. I like to think of it as occupying opposite ends of the same spectrum. With the Sun ruled by Leo/currently in Leo while the moon is in Aquarius, we are being given an opportunity to step into our power authentically and claim our worthiness so we can thrive.

Absolutely nothing on this planet can succeed feeling seen by another black woman. We are nectar. We are gardens. It is during my conversation with Agnes that I realize I’d manifested the very intention that inspired me to begin my series. I intended to normalize transparency amongst women of color by holding space for them to share their truth. In this episode, Agnes gives us a small peak into her world as she shares what inspires her. [Recorded in March]

Let’s talk about the “trauma body”.

#piscesseason has begun & so has #mercuryretrograde — which is in Pisces, as well. It is already written & will be. Trust in your intuition as it will help you navigate. Stay mindful & stay in your heart.

It’s the last day of the full moon. I set aside time to take a detox bath & do an avocado face mask so I figured it’d be the best time to check-in. We’re almost two months in to the new year, have you taken steps to move from surviving to thriving?

Cancerian energy gives us the opportunity to be closely in tune with what we feel. Let go & let your emotions exist.

It’s a New Year & I’m already talking my shit.

In the thick of it as life presents me with opportunities to soften & be taken care of.

Today’s topic: Resources

I had the pleasure of speaking with Loreyna while she’s visiting French Guyana for the Summer. I was intuitively nudged to reach out to her & God don’t make no mistakes. What followed was delicious, delicious food for the soul. While listening to Loreyna speak her truth, I felt understood, I felt seen, I felt celebrated.

Sat down for tea with the delicious mango that is Sidney Mori. I had the pleasure of meeting Sidney on the set of When I Get Home, Solange’s visual album. Since acquainted, we’ve met on occasion for lunch/dinner to break bread & somehow let our ever-present guards down to create a safe space for our transparency to exist. I was adamant on allowing the right time to present itself so that I could sit down with Sidney. I knew the conversation would yield the most delicious hand-picked fruits as I am always renewed with her presence.

When I first conceived the idea of a conversation series, Latifa was the first person I thought of interviewing. It seemed far-fetched because she travels often but I still kept the idea in my back-pocket. Fast forward to her most recent visit to Houston where she’s in town to feature for an art show. For mama’s first day out, I attended the show and genuinely enjoyed myself. A couple days later, I invited Latifa over for tea. She brought light, she was able to meet my daughter & she provided space for me to be transparent, as I also did for her.

Voice recording from 12/19/18. My spirit urged me to go & listen to my rants of December. As a highly sensitive individual, one of my gifts is the ability to sense the impending energy of the Universe. After listening to my conversations with Higher Self, I am humbled to realize that what I spoke on is now manifesting itself in the physical. I am aligned — I am graceful. “Starve the Ego, Feed the Soul”

My thoughts + feelings on letting go of guilt/shame associated with promiscuity & the importance of setting boundaries

The Universe (your Higher self) wants to provide for you, take care of you, show up for you etc. Let it.

The most transparent I’ve ever been as I unpack the psychological trauma that contributed my toxic relationship with sex.

HER CUP RUNNETH OVER

I wanted to begin my new series by standing in my truth. I invited my longtime friend Celina of Belle de Nuit lingerie to join me in sharing hers.

I felt compelled to revisit my rants again. This time from January of this year. While pregnant, I got in the habit of taking (Himalayan salt rock) bubble baths daily. I’d often take them with rose quartz, amethyst & citrine. I’m my most in-tune in the water & happened to hit record while I chased a thought. I’ve always suffered from fear of flying. I’d been taught to fear what I can’t control & to neglect my gifts. Here, I am daring to dream. A conversation with fear soon followed.
