Imagine pulling into your drive way and two white male cops swerving at your house asking “How may I help you?” All you see is the silhouette of their body and something at their side. The hell?! I’m at home. And that’s what I told him. I understand there’s crime. I know for a fact that I don’t fit the description of who they were looking for outside of being black. I’m thankful that I was on the phone with a friend in the moment and that I kept my cool. I’m also thankful to still be here. This photo is just a filler and representation that no matter how many accolades you receive, America will always find a way to remind you how racist this country is.

When I took these photos, I was not glammed up. I was tired. I’d just raced from my 9-5 to pick up my kid from school, and we immediately shot over to the photo shoot location. I ‘fixed my eyebrows’ and applied some lipstick in the car and went for it. Sometimes that’s all that matters. Is that you go for it. I almost didn’t apply for the WEPOWER Elevate/Elevar Accelerator. Ask them. 🤣 But I remembered how important it is what we’re doing for the community and the future. Shout out to all of the entrepreneurs that show up. Kudos to all of the mamas that are also bosses that show up. High five to the women in business for themselves, operating in a world that still doesn’t fully accept us as intelligent beings. Happy Women’s Entrepreneurship Day! P. S. Add me to your top 5 vote as I made FINALIST for that WePower Elevate/Elevar Accelerator. 😏 https://www.wepowerstl.org/updates/elevate-community-vote (LINK IN BIO)

Working tirelessly these days have paid off. I’M A FINALIST on behalf of BOOKS N BROS! 🎉 “Residents of St. Louis City wards 1, 3, 21—your vote decides which businesses WEPOWER invests in. SCROLL TO READ PROFILES AND MARK YOUR BALLOT.” Even if you’re not in the following wards, you can still vote! (LINK IN BIO) https://www.wepowerstl.org/updates/elevate-community-vote

@thegirlpreneurexpo is right around the corner and I’m excited to see all the GirlPreneur supporters! So much so that I’ll be offering my Resume Guide for over 50% off! November 23rd ONLY! Be there! 📌

We all gloat about wearing many hats. Or is that just me? I’ll just talk about me. That’s fine. I’ve experienced an enormous level of stress. I’m in many rooms where I have to always be ON. To lead, to speak, to influence. I’m a mom. I’m a business owner. I manage clients. I also have a 9-5. I just be nuts right? Well, I’m pretty ambitious. And I like to offer positivity while I’m here on this earth. With time being of the essence, I’ve paid more attention to my health. I want to enjoy all of the things I do, with the people that I’m with. I also want to be proactive rather than reactive. That’s why I made sure I was able to accept the invitation to @thecubiclechick’s event with @ahastl! I’ve lost some loved ones due to heart disease. It’s not an easy discussion. But the level of empathy in today’s room was the reassurance I needed. Stay tuned for a future self care event as I want to spread that same love I received today. ❤️

This morning I caught this glimpse of Sidney autographing his comic for our EyeSeeMe family. And then it hit me. I’ve really created a beast. Sidney’s growing into a unique young man. At just a young age he’s learned so much. He’s traveled near and far. He’s been on the side to know what it’s like to receive and on the side to give back. He’s seen me hire, fire and replace. And it all shows. He advocates for himself so much now. From school, to speaking engagements, business partners and more. Alike many of us, he doesn’t truly realize the gift that he is to the world. To me. I pray over him fervently, that he never dims that smile, that he maintains his heart of gold, that he doesn’t allow this world to make him too hard and that he may continue to stand up for what’s right. Don’t mind me. I’m just in the middle of having a mushy mommy moment. I’m gonna write this in a card for him now because the post wasn’t originally gonna be all of that. 🥺❤️

SO much goodness! Thank you to my CIC St. Louis family for highlighting me for Humans of CIC in your global newsletter! I'm very honored 😊

I cannot believe myself. 🤣🤣🤣 go to @booksnbrosllc to watch the full video! 🥴🤣 Thank you @stickermule! 🔥

That moment when someone else tells you that you’ve made the news. ☺️ I’m super grateful to be on the Board of Directors for @fyifergyouth. If you’ve followed me since 2014, you know that this relationship is nothing new but I can’t wait to see where this new membership takes us together! ✊🏾🔋

Life is moving fast. I wear a ton of hats. As fulfilling as it’s been to revise resumes for others and help others enter their career dreams, I had to realize that there’s another way of helping. And cheaper for you! For a limited time, get your resume revision guide for only $20: https://www.bookedenterprise.com/bossupandbuild

🤕🥺☹️ I’m pretty grateful. Not just for these unexpected flowers (yes I’m still surprised every time he buys me some). But I’m grateful to have a true partner by my side during times that I’m not use to having such close care. As a full or part time entrepreneur, we’re use to the idea that we have to work no matter what. Sick, tired, fed up, etc. As a single mom, it’s all those things plus having the mindset of “🗣I’ll just do it myself!” No disrespect to anyone in my village but I’m more use to doing what I have to do no matter what. I’ve gotten pretty sick unexpectedly. Probably been working my body too hard. Probably traveled too much. And haven’t slept enough. But this man has not only put in hours at his 6-2 but also been there for me from 2-whenever duties were done. He’s cooked, covered shifts for me with the interns for BNB, he took Sidney to a soccer game today, picked him up from school this week and even helped out with one of my friends kids. I could go on and on. I haven’t been the easiest to deal with. I’ve been moody and upset about being sick. And he’s been nothing but loving, patient and kind. Thanks babe. Not just for me, but for stepping in to help those around me as well. I 💛 you Marwin. @marwint12
