I have to remind myself I’m worthy of His love regardless of where I am in life or how my prayer life looks. There’s nothing I can do to win Him over. As long as I desire to be close and obedient to Him to the best of my ability, that’s enough for Him. He’s not just fire and brimstone.
Teaching is one of the most challenging professions in the workforce. Often times, they’re underpaid and overworked with limited resources. But despite its challenges, teaching is also one of the most rewarding professions. Teachers have an indelible impact on the students they teach and support.
Trauma "validates" our lives and bodies in the eyes of non-Black folks—and, even at times, Black folks.
The mantra uplifts and praises the accomplishments, beauty, and other amazing qualities of Black women. But on the flip side, it inadvertently pressures Black women to maintain a standard of excellence at all times.
This podcast episode we chatted about Inauguration Day, bad habits we want to leave in 2020, and lessons we've already learned in 2021.
This month is National Black Business Month. And we tapped on Will — a multi-hyphenate by every sense of the word — to join us for this podcast episode.
Will is an entrepreneur, creative, photographer/videographer, and stock trader.
And he's been featured in The Wall Street Journal TWICE this year alone.

Far too often Black women are expected to be on the frontlines for every battle against social injustice — on top of being mothers, providers, and working professionals.
Our guests Shawnee (a social worker) and Erin (a mental health professional) talk about their toil and challenges as Black women in corporate America in the midst of international uprisings.
Unfortunately, in our community, fathers are an anomaly.
But Brandon and L.C. are changing the narrative.
On this episode, we talk fatherhood during the coronavirus and resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, upbringings, and much more.
Almost every time we spoke, we argued — nothing I did seemed to please her.
She didn’t like the person I was dating (which, in hindsight was fair).
She didn’t like the activities I engaged in.
And she didn’t like that I stopped attending the church I grew up in.
The friction felt unbearable and the basis of my frustration was that I felt my mom wanted me to be like her.
In one heated argument, I remember shouting, “You just want me to be like you. I’m not YOU!"
We're shocked too.
Time needs to RELAX...much like the year of our Lord 2020.
