Breakfast Philosophies for the Black Woman’s Soul: I Matter…
I used to think breakfast was optional—a speed bump in the marathon of survival. Growing up, eating wasn’t a curated Instagram moment; it was a necessity, often dictated by what was affordable and quick, not what was nourishing. But now, as I sip on my magnesium-spiked tea and spread avocado on my bagel (pre-mashed, thank…

Discipline is sexy…
They say discipline is a lost art. I’d argue it’s more like the overachieving friend we invite to brunch but avoid calling for help because—let’s face it—she’s probably already running a marathon, building a side hustle, and raising a perfectly behaved toddler.

Soft for what…
Growing up, the idea of softness was about as welcome as a mosquito at a summer barbecue. It wasn’t just frowned upon; it was straight-up shunned. Strength, resilience, and a thick emotional armor were the badges of honor where I come from. Anything less? Well, that was an insult waiting to happen. But life has…

One trick, two trick, old trick, new trick…
To be honest, I’m not what you’d call a true “meal prepper.” You know, the kind who has a fridge full of perfectly portioned containers, each meal thoughtfully crafted and ready to eat with the precision of a seasoned fitness guru. I tried that life once, but it ended in a whole lot of wasted…

Pill poppers only…
If you don’t know this by now, I’m health-obsessed. Yes, I’m one of those people. The obsession is kind of new, though. It all started after a wake-up call a couple years back when I realized the direction my life was headed in wasn’t exactly the scenic route. I was hooked on sweets like a…
