Happy March/Women’s HER-story Month

Happy March

Happy Women’s HER-Story Month. Can you believe it’s March 2023 already? We are at the end of the first quarter, and I’ve been hibernating. During the winter months from December to March, I take a break. Why? Because rest is important. Last year was busy for me and my family. Between moving, the death of my grandmother, my uncle and on Xmas eve my aunt, it was an emotional year. Plus planning ITAVF Gala and working with new and existing clients. At the end of 2022, I felt drained more than ever. Finding the balance between being a mom, being in a polyamorous relationship and married, a business owner/entrepreneur, and dealing with the everyday issues that’s a part of life’s journey… rest is not a luxury, it’s a necessity Refresh, rejuvenate and regroup. As a business owner and entrepreneur, for me March means reviewing the first quarter and going over…

What Is A Business Plan and Why You Should Have One

Business Plan

It’s 2023 and business owners and entrepreneurs are still making this one common mistake. THEY DON’T HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN. A business plan is your roadmap. It is your guide, the outline of your business that communicates your goals and the methods you will use to attain those goals and the timeframe to achieve them.

Writing a business plan can also help you secure loans and investors to help grow your business. Here’s a guide and breakdown of a traditional business plan. Let’s…

A Letter To My Sisters: A Breast Cancer Documentary For Young Women

A Letter To My Sisters: A Breast Cancer Documentary For Young Women

On Saturday, October 16th, 2022 I attended A Letter To My Sisters: A Breast Cancer Documentary For Young Women hosted by Patty Jackson. This documentary was created by Dr. Nia Imani Bailey a radiation therapist and the Founder of Agape–Finding Your Purpose, Incorporating Your Faith Non-Profit Organization. This documentary gives some insight into the journey of young women dealing with their breast cancer diagnosis and life itself—while also highlighting prevention measures. Not one eyes was dry watching this documentary. To hear these phenomenal women share their journey was truly amazing. What stood out to me as well was how Dr. Nia honored all the breast cancer survivors that were in the room. My sister-in-love included. This documentary really shows you, that cancer in general does not discriminate. How you got to advocate for yourself and your health. Especially when you know something is wrong but healthcare providers are telling you…

Ask Yourself

Mental Health Awareness

Lately I’ve been in a fog. So many life changes are happening all at once and sometimes I catch myself in negative thoughts. It happens and sometimes it can catch you off guard. Depression is a silent killer and that’s why I advocate so hard for mental health awareness especially within the black community. The moment I find myself in negative self talk, I have to take a moment and stop. Instead, I ask myself, What is my inner voice feeling/saying? What am I working towards? I sit for a while and search for the answers and continue to ask myself, what is holding me back? Is whatever is holding me back – true? With all the changes happening in my life right now of course it’s natural to feel uneasy and question myself. Everything that I am doing will affect my family. But even though I may have these…
