Black History Month: She Never Forgot Her Crown👑

Image
  Hey Curlies,✨ It is STILL Black History Month! I want to say that I celebrate Black History Month ALL year long. I love my Black people and our culture is levitating. We have overcome so much as a people and continue to take up space in all areas. I feel inspired when I hear a Black woman with a similar story as mine. In the US it has always been challenging to be a black person. Some of us even make ourselves small only to hope we can be viewed as equal human beings. When I graduated from college in Winter 2024 I attended a Black Graduation celebration. I was given a special stole for attending the Black Graduation and one professor really uplifted me. She told us to close our eyes and think of all the challenges and blessings we have faced. As my eyes were closed tears came down my eyes because I had a hard year. I was around so much toxicity and all I did was try to be a better version of myself. I'm here to tell you I never forgot my crown. Three tips on How to Never Forget Y...

    Hey Curlies,✨   It has been a brutal winter. A lot of shedding skin and coming to terms with what life has in store for me and Natural Divinity Products.

Find Your Center: Self Acceptance

Image
  Hey Curlies,✨     We finally have made it to the last month of 2024. This year has been an eventful and learning journey. I had spent a lot of time adventuring in small pop up shops during the beginning of the year. Currently I am learning life is not perfect and it's ok to want better. Better is not a bad thing, but you must know not everyone will accept the better version you are seeking. I am still learning about people, events, social media, engagements, and how to become a better businesswoman. When I started Natural Divinity Products I thought I lived in a world full of mutual exchanges and "yes" people. Well I was wrong. Some people would not cross promote with me. I learned potential clients may not seek out to you. You will have to do it yourself! Being an entrepreneur is realizing you can do it scared and alone. I am understanding I must be in a elevated state to manifest my success for my business. Everything I experience in life I am still learning and tryin...
