“Look At Me Now!”
Have you ever thought about what your hair says about you? One of the things I love about being a Black woman is the versatility of our hair. Our hair comes in so many different natural colors, textures, and lengths. I was born with dark brown, coarse, and very THICK hair. When I was a little girl, I HATED getting […]
“Yes, We Can Do That!”
How do you normally spend your summer? Happy June everyone! I hope the weather has been warming up where you are because I sure have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine here in Georiga! We also just came from a long holiday weekend! Summers in Georgia are definitely HOT, don’t get me wrong, but I think I’m getting used to them. […]
“Shine Bright Like A Diamond!”
What’s one of your favorite go-to looks? If I were to use one word to describe my sense of style and fashion it would be — uncomplicated. I like to wear a variety of colors, but I don’t wear them all at once. I like to try different patterns and cuts, but I rarely pair diverse items together. I get […]
“Daydreaming”
What’s something that you find yourself daydreaming about often? I have tons of student loan debt. When I was receiving those refund checks in college and law school, I never thought about the future impact student loans will have on my livelihood. Let’s not get it twisted; I am so glad my parents didn’t have to come out of pocket […]

They are closing one chapter in their lives, taking with them the knowledge and experiences they created over the […]

How’s your mental health this week? My birthday is May 22nd. It is just 10 days away! But I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first? Okay, I’ll start with the bad news … THERE WON’T BE ANY PERSONAL BLOG POSTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH OF MAY. Uncertain if that’s considered “bad […]
“Don’t Let ‘Em See You Cry – Living Single Part 5”
What are you doing for Cinco de Mayo?! Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be meeting up with some friends on a patio in the sun sipping margaritas this year for Cinco de Mayo. Last year, I tried to meet up with a girlfriend for margaritas and every Mexican restaurant was PACKED. Lines out the door! I def don’t got time […]
“Never Miss Leg Day!”
How are those fitness journeys coming along?! That’s why I am the way that I am right now … Some of yall [are looking for the secret], but the secret is I’ve been doing the same thing for 7 years and I have been consistent with it. And so now I have a depth of perspective, some people have a […]
“Ready For the Big Bucks?!”
Do you like your job because of what you do or because it pays you well? I’ve said it once before — law school chose me. I also like to think that a career as a public defender chose me as well. Have you ever had a major part of your life just choose you? Law school chose me because […]
