Couldn’t think of a better way to spend the extra hour of evening sunshine ✨ @downtowncarypark
Struggling to put into words everything that is on my mind today…here is my attempt:
1. “𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫, 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫…”
• you need wisdom from folks like @madebychel, @prohibitionpairings, @jonwarlickmedia, @steph_ebe, & @jackiejackthedj
• you need encouragement from people like @_tressentials_, @amgee92, @sarahkcerami, @leiknojon, @erika_southernoakevents, & @therealgradybussey
• you need inspiration from driven artists like @ravi.oli_, @theabnormallyreal, @valmerzamusic, @macklyndion, @blackjack.images, @beyfilmzmedia & @hire_major
• you need understanding from spirits like @lovevons, @love_dom, @justzaraaa, @xbestmistakex, @envie_reverie, & @gretchensk8s
2. Having someone who is consistently dedicated to the evolution & success of EVERY area of your life is something that you deserve and MUST invest into. Please visit @anewucservices & look into that if you haven’t already.
3. I’m scared. Haha but it’s a healthy fear that will keep me on my toes and always a student. I’m proud to say that I am being very intentional about every step of this journey, therefore, I’m paying close attention to each interaction, experience, thought, and feeling. This fear is evoking the hyper vigilance that my passion/business deserves.
4. Ultimately, I’m proud of myself for not giving up. I’m grateful for the many opportunities & connections that I’ve been blessed with. & I’m humbled that God, my ancestors, & my angels have kept me - kept me alive, kept me sane, kept me going.
Thank 𝐲𝐨𝐮 for connecting with me in any capacity.
Everything has purpose. E v e r y t h i n g.
Now go click around the site & let’s get that purpose on video 🥹
Had the honor of capturing this beautiful and fun open house event last week! Please share with anyone who is planning a special event 😊 ! You can find each vendor on the comments.
When your #wcw is -crushing- it… 🏃🏾♀️💨

🗣️CALLING ALL ATHLETES!
I filmed all the 🔥HEAT on Campbell University’s court last weekend & I can’t stop watching!
A lot of talented, passionate people in this video.
Much love to CU • UPLIFT for inviting me out and doing it for the CU•LTURE.
A full day of filming & I couldn’t be happier
[or more exhausted 😅]
I consider yesterday to have been a dream come true.
So much talent, wisdom, and beauty on the other side of my camera. Can’t wait to share ✨

Making sure that all of #trianglenc knows about @_tressentials_ & their incredible #naturalhaircareproducts 🌿
& these labels ?!? 🔥🔥🔥 from @bevisualbranding 🙌🏽
Send this reel to someone who needs smell•goods, feel•goods, look•goods, or a #productphotographer 😄
cc: Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you’re a director. Everything after that you’re just negotiating your budget and your fee.
- So it’s a state of mind -
Once your commit yourself to do it…
then the hard part starts.

A sincere “Thank You” to each & every person who supports and encourages my -commitment- 🧡

cc: Waking up is getting harder with each passing day. The clock is ticking, you’re not living, you’re just existing.
You feel like you’re under constant attack. Lost and confused, you keep asking yourself “why can’t I shake these feelings??” You have been smiling less and crying more. The facade has become more difficult to keep up.
You don’t like your hair, your face, your lips, not even your own existence. You’ve been just going with the flow, waking up, showing up, and waking up…this is your new daily routine. You’re starting to believe these lies…
ugly, rejection, loneliness, homosexuality, religion, mediocrity…Something has to change, kid. You have so much love to give this world, but you don’t love yourself
You cannot continue to live like this...
Go take a shower and wash today’s worries away.
Start loving yourself the way you want to be loved.
“Fall in love with taking care of yourself”
