Familial Indoctrination Experience – Page 3

Fly Sha’Carri, Fly

Last year, I blogged about a tribe member using the phrase “wrong and strong” to describe individuals who do wrong or hurtful actions towards others or even themselves but then vehemently deny, gaslight, manipulate, deflect or even outright lie to avoid accountability. Everyone has experienced this kind of relationship encounter. It can be very damaging toContinue reading “Fly Sha’Carri, Fly”

The Black Issue 2021

The most coveted fashion magazine issue for me is the famed 2008 Black Issue presented by Franca Sozzani, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia and arguably one of the magazines best editor-in chiefs of all time.

As women, we all understand and recognize the benefits that come along with meeting this beauty standard. In fact, most of us appreciate compliments noContinue reading “Beyond Skin Deep”

RIP Empress Tyson

We lost an EMPRESS yesterday. Some women are born into royalty with a crown as their birthright while others seemingly earn it by being inherently divinely royal. Ms. Cecily Tyson, actress, philanthropist and agent provocateur, represented such a woman who was undeniably a Divine Feminine – – complete in her glory always showcasing impeccable grace,Continue reading “RIP Empress Tyson”

Unveil U*2021

2020 was the year of “unveiling” authenticity.
