After seeing all the tragic events that have been happening in this country, due to gun violence, it’s easy to become paranoid and worse still tormented 😫. I have two little children, and I can’t even begin to imagine what the parents who are dealing with loss are going through right now 😭🙏. But for the sake of my sanity, and the well being of my kids, I have chosen to dedicate and give them up to God, because ultimately, He is truly the only One who can keep them safe from the attacks of the enemy. I know I sound irrational, but remember that “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in this world, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.” Fighting physical battles in order to reform gun policies may play a significant role, but the truth is, whether you like it or not, we need God now, more than ever before. What we do with our own might will only take us so far, but what we do with God’s help, will stand the test of time. • • • • • • • • #weneedgod #gunviolenceawareness #prayfortexas #godfirstalways #mychildrenaremylife #mychildrenskeeper #fightwithspiritualweapons #putonthefullarmorofgod (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBr8BkuD2M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have let go of a lot of baggage in order to keep moving forward. But, there are things that I have chosen to hold on to because they are what make me who I am…….. #godchoseme #africanqueen👑 #zambiangirl #embraceyourheritage #africanfashiontrends (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdvsvnqOCZ3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And so begins a new chapter!!! 🥰 All I can say is that God’s grace has been on repeat over the years, and I’m so grateful that His mercy continues to sustain me. I’m evolving in ways that I could have never imagined, and I love the woman that I’m becoming because I finally don’t feel the need to prove myself to anyone. It feels so good 😊🥰 To my family and friends I’d like to say thank you for being a part of my life. You push me to become better and I wouldn’t be who I am without you. BTW, A huge shoutout to my beau @shaneauthentic for making this photoshoot happen. It was so last minute, but he soldiered through when I made the request and took the most romantic photos. I love him so much. 😭 This is definitely not an acceptance speech, so I will end by say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!!🎉🍾🥳🎈🙏🙌🏽🎊✌🏾 Photos taken by @shaneauthentic • • • • • #birthdaypost🎂 #bluebonnets2022 #itsmybirthday🎉 #birthdayphotoshoots #birthdaygirl🎀 #sunsetphotoshoot #blackgirlmagic💫✨ #birthdayshootideas #april19th #aprilbaby #aprilbabesrock #birthdayblessings🙏 #goodvibesgoodlife #birthdayphotography (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CciMHFCO1co/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can’t count how many times I’ve had rejections in my content creation journey. And the initial hurt, insecurity and uncertainty that I felt in those moments. BUT, had I chosen to give up because of my circumstances, I wouldn’t be sharing my story with you today. Contrary to popular belief, rejection or failure are necessary experiences that we all need to go through to grow stronger and get wiser. Unfortunately, the majority of us, let those experiences break us, instead of using them to pivot us to prepare for better opportunities. Should you take anything away from this; ‘No matter what you go through, NEVER GIVE UP!’ Entire outfit is thrifted 🥰. • • • • • #springfashion2022 #sustainablefashion #thriftedoutfits #springfashionoutfitideas #inspirationalthursday (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbxg3P1OJaG/?utm_medium=tumblr

About the weekend: The goal was to spend quality time with my love and focus on dating each other again. • • It’s safe to say that it was a success🥰. • • I always find it amazing—what a whole day of undivided attention can do for your relationships. It’s so necessary and I can’t wait to do it again soon. • • • • • • #canopyhoteldallas #uptowndallas #anniversarydinner #blacklovecouples #zambianamericancouple #electricblues #silkdresses #spring2022fashion #couplesdinner #datenightoutfits #9yearsmarriedandcounting❤️💍 #springfashiontrends2022 #springfashion2022 #blackcouplesgoals #dallasspots (at Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CazuysMuC6h/?utm_medium=tumblr

The road to self-discovery has been a long one for me. I’ve never been able to fit into any particular group, including my own family. • This bothered me for a really long time, because I hated being different. • After having endured countless seasons of loneliness and extreme growing pains, I can now finally say that I love the person that I’m becoming and accept her for who she is. • It only took me 33 years 😅, but it worth growing through. • • • #thursdaythoughts #timeforgrowth #selfacceptancejourney #selflovejourney #blackinstagrammers #springoutfitideas #spring2022 #transitionaloutfits #singingintherain☔️ #springtimevibes (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Capi01Out2J/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s so easy to talk yourself out of becoming more. Geez, I do it all the time by down playing what God has given me. • It’s like I’d rather settle for the bear minimum because I’m too scared to take the plunge to be great. Can anyone relate? • • Lately, God has been dealing with me to not look down on the gifts/talents or ideas that He has given me. • No matter how trivial or insignificant they may seem in my eyes, trusting Him and walking in obedience is what really matters, because He is the one who gives the increase. • You’ll never know how much of an impact you can make in peoples’ lives if you just use what you’ve been given. • So don’t downplay yourself and the gifts or talents that you’ve been given. They serve a purpose…… • • • • #sundaynightthoughts #useyourgifts #transitionalfashion #springfashion2022 #blackinstagrammers #brownskingirlsrock #justfabboots #thriftedoutfit #vintageandmodernstyle #corsicanatx #corsicanainfluencers #texascontentcreator #vintagegiorgioarmani #becreativeeveryday #zambianbloggers (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CagiieBON3S/?utm_medium=tumblr

I haven’t been feeling like myself this week. I have been so touchy/moody and really unmotivated and sluggish. I found out part of the reason why this morning 😅 but, the crazy #winterweather hasn’t been helping either. 😩 • With that being said, it’s easy to fall into the “Guilt Trap” and talk yourself out of moving forward. • So I’m working on being a little bit kinder to myself and putting less demands on myself by only focusing on getting one important thing everyday. It has been quite helpful. • • What do you do when you don’t feel like yourself? P.S Dressing colorful clothing and prayer uplifts my spirit. • • • • • #notfeelinglikemyself #downdays #gloomydays #thriftedfashion #allpinkoutfit #springfashiontrends2022 #springcolorpalette #springcolortrends2022 #blackfashionista #blackfashionbloggers #zambianbloggers #carouselinstagram #corsicanatx (at Down Town Corsicana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaX3EVXu1S0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don’t wait for someone to tell that “You can do it!” That day might never come. • Encourage yourself, affirm your worth on a daily basis. Keep going even if no one else is rooting for you. You owe it to yourself to become everything that God pre-destined for you. • • • • • #fridaymotivation❤️ #fridayootd #blackoutfits #thriftedoutfits #blackinfluencers #blackgirlmagick ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fashionaddict #fashiongram #fashionstyle #lookoftheday #ootdfashion #outfitideas #outfitinspiration #outfitinspo #outfitoftheday #outfitofthedaybabe #outfitofthedayshares #outfitofthedaysocialclub #outfitoftheday❤️💋🔥 #outfitpost #outfitstyle #streetwear #styleblogger #styleinspo #styleoftheday #stylish #whatiwore #womensfashion via @hashtagexpert (at Corsicana, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaIM82mu8Rk/?utm_medium=tumblr
