Hey Reader, It’s the first week of Women’s History Month—and before we start naming icons and milestones, I want to ground us in something important. Women’s history is not just something we celebrate.It’s something we are living. Right now.In real time.In ordinary, unglamorous, deeply meaningful ways. Yes, we honor the women whose names we know We celebrate the women who were: First Only Loud Brave in public ways Women who broke barriers and forced doors open. And we should. But here’s what...

Hey Reader, As Black History Month comes to a close, I want to leave you with one final reminder—one that doesn’t always get the spotlight. Freedom is incomplete without rest. We talk a lot about freedom in terms of: Income Ownership Access Opportunity And yes—those things matter. But if the freedom you’re working toward still requires you to be exhausted, anxious, and depleted… That’s not the full vision. Historically, freedom was framed as survival For generations, Black women were focused...

Hey Reader, Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough airtime during Black History Month. You do not have to be the strongest one. Not in your family.Not at work.Not in your community.Not in this season of your life. Where did this expectation even come from? So many of the Black women we honor were required to be unbreakable. Think about it: Black women who organized movements while working full-time Black women who held families together with little support Black women who were...

Hi Reader, It’s Black History Month—and I want to remind you of something that often gets lost in the celebrations. Black history is not just something we look back on.Black history is something we are living—right now. Not everyone is meant to be Harriet Tubman.Not everyone is meant to be Ida B. Wells.Not everyone is meant to be Rosa Parks or Shirley Chisholm. And that’s okay. Because history isn’t only made by the icons whose names we know. Black history is also made by: Black women who...

Hey Reader, I have something exciting (and a little scary) to share: 🎤 On February 7, I’ll be stepping onto the red dot 🔴 to give a TEDx Talk. This is one of the biggest stages I’ve ever spoken on—and I’m pouring my heart into a message that I believe could truly shift the way we think about worth, work, and the way we show up in this world. But here’s the thing: a powerful message is only as impactful as the people who help spread it. That’s where you come in. 👉🏾 I’m building a Launch Team...

Hey Reader, As we reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy this week, I’m thinking about the kind of courage it takes to act in alignment with your values—even when the path ahead is uncertain. Dr. King didn’t know exactly how every march, every speech, or every risk would unfold. But he moved anyway. He reminds us that aligned action—especially the kind that pushes against the status quo—isn't always loud or polished. Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to start that email, submit that...

Hey Reader, I’ve been thinking about the word clarity a lot lately. Not the kind that arrives in some magical “aha” moment—but the kind you create by starting small and listening closely.That kind of clarity is a catalyst. You don’t have to know exactly what you’re building this year. You don’t need a perfectly polished 10-step plan. You just need a first question to answer. A first conversation to spark. A first draft to write.Clarity often follows action—not the other way around. If you're...

Hey Reader, It’s been a little while since I landed in your inbox. December brought a wave of transitions, reflection, and—if I’m being honest—deep exhaustion. So I took a step back. Not because I didn’t have anything to say—but because I needed a moment to listen to myself. To grieve, to breathe, and to gather what I’ll need for what’s next. I won’t get into all of it right now—but I will say this: I’m learning to give myself more grace than ever before. To slow down, be honest about what I...
