The client I parted ways with sent my treatment to someone then the client shared their response to his manager who then sent me this screenshot after the fallout…
Being reduced to “a girl from New York” is crazy but the work speaks for itself. My ego is platinum and my karma is beautiful 😂

From Broke to Booked: Being a Self-Taught Braider 💆🏽♀️
Yall, I am still shook from hosting my own lecture-demo this past weekend. After months of prep (think 46 slides!) I did a 2 hour workshop on Black Hair History, science and BRAIDING! (Under-hand and cornrows 😭) Had to workshop it a couple times & take a 12 hr train ride, but seeing the smiles & the engagement was downright magical ✨
This journeys been WILD.
A few years ago when I was living in New Orleans a month bus pass felt like a luxury. Fast forward to today as a self-taught braider in Orange County and I made half my rent in that 2 hour workshop. God is faithful! 🙌🏾
Building a business from the ground up is quite a ride but moments like this remind me why I do it. Empowering families, and people of all ages to embrace and appreciate black hair culture.
"God is within her, she will not fail." - Ps 46:5

Happy early Halloween from my son ✌️
His name is Lemon Fork and he's 6 months old (he also put himself in the pumpkin and they all got to share it after).

The Harrison Ford guy came into the store again today and of course, we were talking about The Boys in the Boat!
Customer: “You would’ve loved being at my family cabin; the boys were a hot topic.”
Me: “It’s such a good story!!”
Customer: “Yeah and you’re one of the girls that actually knows and acknowledges how talented and how driven they were aside from being simply good-lookin men, right? *leans in closer* RIGHT, LADIES??”
Me: *holds my hands up* “I SWEAR that I did not notice how good looking they were until AFTER I watched the movie. I saw the trailer when I went to see Trolls and I was hooked.” *proceeds to tell him how the book has been on my list since I was first hired at the library ten years ago*
Customer: “Mhm…”
Me: “I swear on my life! I’m not even a Callum Turner girlie!! I mean, my female eyes may have noticed Bobby at first in the trailer but as for Don—“
Customer: “As my father would say: BULL. ‘CRAP’.” (Said in some sort of accent)
Me: “Aww, I swear—“
Customer: “I know!! I’m just teasing you!”

Unreal Unearth is such an easy album to listen to over and over again (not emotionally). Like the transition from first light to de Shelby pt 1 is just correct

microsoft teams is SUCH a dogshit program, my god
the fact that one person on the meeting was currently walking through a train museum when he joined while another person had a juvenile guinea hen named greg on her shoulder the whole call almost made up for having to suffer through Worse Zoom

Tell me why when I told my 5th grade client:
“Yeah, I don’t trust you with my phone camera anymore, I had to delete all those ugly pictures you took of me when I tried to take the phone back, last time”
He got all serious for a sec like, “Don’t say that. Don’t body shame yourself.”
LMAOOO?? sir that’s really sweet but also you are STILL not getting my phone 🤣

This new white man at work seems really nice or whatever… my ONLY issue but not really a ISSUE is that he feels the need to touch me 🥴😂 my first day meeting him (two weeks ago) we were talking about him moving here with his wife, our sleep schedules, blah blah. So he was getting ready to leave and told me to make sure I got some sleep, then proceeds to rub my back 👀😂 soo today when I saw him I was eating lunch and he came up and spoke. Then proceeded to rub my shoulder…. Sir what’s going on here? 😂😂 maybe it’s his way of being friendly idkkk, but this is VERY new to me lol
