This season is called stepping into alignment. ✨

If you’ve been on this journey with me as a creator, you’ve probably heard me talk about the lack of inspiration I’ve felt over the past year. After some deep reflection and re-strategizing, I’ve realized that I still want to show up here—but in a way that truly resonates with who I’ve become.

I’m not the same person I was when I started, and I’m proud of that. I’ve been praying and asking God if being a creator still aligns with His vision for my life, and then I was accepted into the mentorship program! 😭

I’m excited to show up in a way that genuinely makes me happy to create. So bear with me and brace yourselves—cheers to no longer hiding behind Ryann and rebuilding a new community with those who stick around and those who join us.

Let me know what kind of content you’re most interested in seeing. ✨

I’ve realized that not every day or every week there has to be a million things going on to share. The real life, everyday moments, are even sweeter. Happy Sunday loves! ✨

For the longest time, I couldn’t pinpoint when I lost confidence in my body. I knew it had something to do with postpartum, but the exact moment? I didn’t know—until yesterday, when I stumbled upon some old photos.

This felt like such a transformative moment because for so long I’ve wondered, “When did I become so fixated on what I do or don’t look like?” So, I’m sharing in case it inspires someone else.

July 2018 (last slide): I was filled with joy, carrying a baby after being told I couldn’t have one. My camera roll was packed with half-naked photos, proudly showing off my baby bump. I was in one of the happiest times of my life. I had finally gained weight after being petite my entire life and I was growing the most perfect girl inside me.

October 2018 (middle slide): I had just given birth to Ryann. I was finally home and breastfeeding successfully after some complications in the hospital. When I shared this photo on Instagram, my caption joked about how after having Ryann, I lost my butt and b***s. That’s when I started nitpicking my body. I wanted the weight back because before having Ryann, I couldn’t surpass 126 pounds. And THIS is when it started.

April 2023 (first slide): I convinced my husband to do an intimate photoshoot, hoping it would help me rebuild the confidence I lost long ago by seeing myself fully. But the entire shoot, I was pulling and tucking, trying to fix everything. I kept using my shirt to hide certain parts of my body. I felt so uncomfortable.

While this isn’t a story about fully overcoming this feeling, I’ve been more intentional about speaking positivity over my body. It’s crazy what old photos can bring out in a person. 🫶🏾

Cheers to one year. 🥂

This day last year we were nervous, excited, proud, scared, all of the things. It was such a learning process. To get to do this with my favorite people made every moment worth it. We’ve already made so many memories here. Look how much Ryann has already grown.

The other day Ryann sat in the backyard looking around. She said “I really love this house. The grass. The sidewalks. I really love it here.” To hear that from my child at 4 years old… especially remembering what my life was like at her age… whew! A feeling only some know. I thank God every single day for what he’s blessed me with. Even when I don’t feel worthy. My husband. My daughter. My home. I would have never imagined my life being THIS. God, I thank you. 🤎

1 year down as homeowners baby and we’re just getting started. I love you so much. 🥳

Our ice cream dates have never l been the same since furnishing our backyard. It’s definitely become our favorite part of the house. And we keep some handy because… ice cream and our light furniture do not go together. Lol.

One thing I don’t play about is knowing what I put on and in our bodies. When I found out WaterWipes are plant based and protects sensitive skin, they were a must have!

Parents, trust me when I say… you need these in every part of your home, car, your bag, everywhere. So grab a pack (or 5) from Walmart and use Ibotta to receive $1.00 off any WaterWipes Original or Textured Clean Product (60ct or larger). Thank me later!

In the last 5 years we’ve became parents, moved to several states, bought our first home together, had disagreements, but we continue to learn each other. What we’re no longer enjoying, our interests, how to show up for each other. And how to let each other know when we can’t in certain moments. We communicate what we need from one another. And when something is off, we prioritize making time to figure out what’s going on. Our marriage isn’t perfect and it’s certainly not 50/50 every single day. We’ve learned that.

But the one thing I love about us is that we continue to choose each other. No matter what we go through. It’s always US. And I cannot thank God enough for bringing you into my life and choosing you for me.

Happy 5th year anniversary to my person. Thank you for not only loving me, but for teaching me how to love myself and others. I love you to the moon and the skies above.

Celebrating 5 years of marriage is crazy. But we here baby. To the next 500 years together. 🥂

Watching her grow into this whole person is just… wow. Anyone remember her 6 month photoshoot in the strawberry bucket? How will she be 5 in less than 6 months???

I admire her ability to know what she wants, likes, and dislikes. The random “I just want a hug and a kiss”. She has definitely taught me how to be affectionate because whew… I was always a “please do not touch me” person. But who can deny this sweet girl? 😭 Not me getting emotional just thinking about her like I’m not about to go pick her up. LOL. Motherhood, parenting… is wild. My thought is STILL how do I have a whole child? 😭

Does one ever stop asking themselves this question? 😂

Mine. 😌

I spend the most time on my phone looking at old photos and videos. Especially of my kid but also as a creator when I need inspiration or a reminder that I actually have created some amazing things. Can any creators relate?

I remember coming up with this luxury Breakfast in Bed idea for a collaboration with a hotel in Chicago. It can to me immediately + it turned out so good!

Of course I just found a blog post from this trip that I never posted. I just made it live! If you’ve been needing a staycation or vacation, let this be your inspiration to book the hotel!

If you’re reading this, it’s long. But don’t stop reading, please. Lol!

You may have heard this story before, so I won’t get deep into it. I started blogging because I needed an outlet to share some deep stuff. (I wanted to sh*t but I’m watching my mouth because there’s a toddler around here somewhere) Anywho, through my journey of writing and sharing my life, I fell in love with it. So, here I am.

In an attempt to get on with this story, I’ll tell you why I’m here. I designed my very own journals and recently launched the Journal Series on page.

Ugh, this is getting even longer. But I HAVE to tell you the story behind them. (FYI: you’ll probably find the words “Journal” and “Journey” way too many times as you’re reading this)

I wanted to create a series of journals that can take women through their entire journey of motherhood. From the moment she decides she wants to have a child, all the way through having children and being able to communicate with them, through writing.

The writing journal is the first step: this is a journal absolutely ANYONE can use. (Men, women, children, whomever!) However, it was created to document a women’s journey to getting pregnant.

Next up, the Pregnancy Journal. A journal to document your entire pregnancy including your fourth trimester, postpartum. There’s even space to write your birth plan, birth story, and hospital list.

The Mama + Mini Journals will be releasing next year. I’ll share more about those later just know it’s for mamas with children of all ages groups.

Wow, if you made it this far, I really love you. I’m Kenniqua and I am asking you to support my small, black-owned business. And it feels weird to even ask, so how’s that for vulnerability?

I can’t believe this caption is this long so I’ll end it here. Click the link in my bio and grab a journal for you and/or someone you know! I would be extremely grateful.
