Healing can only exist on the other side of atonement. Healing looks like empathy, sensitivity, education, action and robust change. The country's shame of the past and uncertainty of the present and future is a breeding ground for progress. However, the practice of turning a blind eye to the elephant in the room (Slavery, Rapings, Jim Crow, Lynchings, Bombings, Shootings, Mass Incarceration, Genocide of unarmed Black Men & Women, etc.) that continues to haunt and psychologically maime African Americans in this country must be retired. America needs #therapy. The trauma she has imposed on generations of Black Americans runs deep, but here we are. It's got to get uncomfortable before its gets comfortable. #americandream #aintprettybutitsright #40acresandamule #reparations #painrunsdeep #survivors #tired #yet #hopeful #blackliveshavealwaysmattered https://www.instagram.com/p/CBk4hw4p_n7/?igshid=x1izr5ylblts

It's easy to self implode. It's also easy to put in a little extra effort to work or rework your goals in order to take your ambitions to the next level. When you put in the extra work you create winning habits that allow you to change the narrative while rewriting your future. When you feel the light fizzling out, don't give up. Simply change the battery. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KKhmxnobW/?igshid=191no13fb7h23

Challenges will always find a way into our life's agenda. Love them and embrace the downpour. Sometimes we understand life's greatest lessons best while in the mud. Welcome whatever your hardships in life. You will be thankful for both your labor and sacrifices in due time. #momentswithdrhip https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Jq3ULHuZw/?igshid=gcxxhl076ahk

If you were fortunate to see today, don't live in the failures and regrets of yesterday. If you woke up today, your do-over request has been approved for the next 24 hours. Do something with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v_gVbHplW/?igshid=1vbk7wb05dbhs

Leave if it becomes unbearable to breathe. Go if it becomes impossible to grow. Stop if you can't shake the grey clouds that fogs your elevation to the top. Move to enact the rhythm of your own groove. Harmony only knows peace when patience helps to release its strongholds. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qxy8sHkmj/?igshid=yafe67rhhlcj

8.21.19 🙏🏾🎉🎈 . What I've learned to date: Fear is manufactured, doubt is overrated, and purpose is an inherited trait. . What I've accepted: I'm poised for some of my best days ahead and it's okay to be glad about it 😏. #morelife #tolive #letsride 🏁 (at Born Day) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bItgunYqV/?igshid=jptxv2wf9j4z

It's impossible to accomplish a goal that has never been set. Wishing for a serious outcome to any goal before defining it only keeps that goal unattainable, unclear, and literally "out of sight." Take every necessary step toward defining goals in order to eliminate opportunities for failure. Should failure occur, you're prepared for what's next because 'next' remains a part of the plan. The process toward accomplishing any goal was never designed to be easy so reboot for the umpteenth time if necessary and finish what you've started. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0itpxzHh-C/?igshid=15fvw4cuma0yw

It's time to move. Your shiftless feet are tired of dormancy and your mind is in search of stability. A sense of security has been your earnest prayer, but a positive reality check is the only truth that will meet you there. Free yourself. #freedomfriday #letitgo #moveon #momentswithdrhip https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YqYkcHUg2/?igshid=afpaj8kc6jyw
