I post about a lot online but I haven’t made it clear to post every single move. But I am honored to share that I’ve been canvassing for Action St. Louis for about a week now and they’ve shown me even more why it’s important to vote. I’ve been encouraged to do my own research more and relay that info to others. I can’t be every where but this is a cause I’ve made sure to make time for. ❤️ #WokeVoterSTL #WhySTLVotes @actionstl

Not all but a couple thank you’s to those who’ve helped me become the woman I was uncomfortable to be: @miss_jerika @genesisdreaming @pastorkiamoore @lovelyrique @juststaz @domesticqueenv @iamsheriep @carljoyce_lmt @iamhandsomerob @donesnider @iamalanamarie @about_mybizness @_nyara @dani_barberstylist @ohun.ashe @peaceloveandafros @stlzfynest @_staceysadventure @jwhitetheprez @byashleenicole @photog_anthony @majesticbeauty_1013 @brian_lovely @booksnbrosllc whew Chile and the list goes on ❤️

Why are we so fine? 😩😍 @malimusic Music Interview done straight from the green room! Follow @thewirehangerbywinnie ❤️❤️❤️ #nofilter #malimusic #readyroom

I just felt like taking a selfie on this fall morning. No deep caption necessary. 😌

(In the writer’s chair I go👩🏾‍💻) Entrepreneurship Isn’t For Everyone and That Is Okay — Before I took my ‘leap of faith’ into entrepreneurship, I asked a mentor, “When is the right time?” He asked, ” What are you afraid of?” What are most aspiring entrepreneurs afraid of? Being broke and humiliated. That’s essentially what I told him. He simply responded, “Don’t wait to jump into entrepreneurship when you think you’ll have enough money. You’ll never have enough money. Your standards will continue to grow, hopefully. The key to becoming an entrepreneur full time is not when you’re paid up enough, but when you’re strong enough.” • Once again, entrepreneurship is more than inspirational quotes, sleepless yet productive nights and securing the bag. Entrepreneurship can (and most likely will) embody late/unpaid invoices from clients, unhappy customers, sleepless nights due to anxiety, oversleeping due to depression/isolation, losing friends, more pulling hands than holding hands, applying for a job again (because someone has to pay the bills) and much more. • I can honestly say, 2018 has exposed me and a handful of my small business owner friends to the not-so pretty side of entrepreneurship—and I admire that none of us have thrown in the towel. None of us have thrown in the towel because we waited to jump into this when we had more faith than finance. [Link in bio for the full article] ❤️ Thanks for attending my Ted Talk 🙃

“You can snooze if you wanna, but not on me baby.” 😏😉@iamalanamarie Words can’t even describe. I love you boo! Congrats forever! You looked amazing today! And it was dope to say I was rocking a dress I bought from ya 😏❤️ #DNALoveAffair

She don’t do it for the men. Men never notice. She just do it for herself. Yea she the coldest. 😏

I’ve gone like the last month or so without business cards. We shouldn’t depend on business cards for a Connection but it’s better than writing your info on a sheet of paper that’ll easily get lost lol I finally designed more and made sure to add myself on there because for the first year and a half it was only Sidney’s face on there like he’s the one handling all the business. Naw fam. Issa team. Lol

The other morning I woke up like, “I need to get work done. But I also need to be around some folk for inspiration.” I put a call out on Facebook SUPER last minute to see if any entrepreneurs were free to link up. Not only did they show up but we all poured into each other somehow, learned some new things organically, and increased our network nationally unexpectedly! In the room was a travel agent/project manager, brand expert/graphic designer/photographer, event planner/accessory designer, best selling author/boutique consultant, and me (see graphic for my titles BLOOP! 😂). Basically everyone has their lane, and we respected each other to own our own lane and stay in them. Which is why I trusted in @byashleenicole to design this dope graphic for me! It’s cool that I know how to create visuals but it’s not my lane, it’s Ashlee’s and I’m grateful for her direction. Get you some business friends who sincerely want to help you win! P. S. If you think you’ve read this before, you’re not crazy. I had to repost because #alignment 😂🙌🏽

*checks date* Happy Wednesday all! 😬 As I was going through my social media routine, I noticed something crazy about this list of topics. This is a legit list of the journey of my life, just not in order but wow. Now some things I have invested my hard earned dollars to perfect by attending webinars, conferences, workshops, etc. but some things are self taught aka figured out. I didn’t expect to be a mom at 17, and I didn’t know what the heck I was doing, and I’m still learning as he’s in a new stage of life. But one thing I didn’t do was give up. Yes I’ve questioned myself as a mother. Yes I’ve questioned myself as a thought leader, blogger, speaker, whatever...we all doubt ourselves at one point. But what do supporters look at? The will to push through. The will to get back up. The will to turn that test into a testimony. If you ask me about any of these topics, I can tell you how they each changed or affected my life. From teenagers, to educators, I have experienced so much in a short time frame that I can’t hold it all in! And you shouldn’t either! Funny, my first year in college I took a speech etiquette course. 🗣Hated it! 😂 Now look at me, dropping booking info. ☺️🙌🏽 contact@bookedenterprise.com

Today I went to see my therapist. I opened up to her. I cried (hence the absence of makeup in the selfie after this lol). I hadn’t seen her in some months and honestly I haven’t put myself first the last couple of months either. She reminded me that I need to seriously give myself credit. I have went against the grain when it comes to how young black moms are portrayed, spaces that black women aren’t seen in I am not afraid of and my son is learning from all of the risks I’ve taken. Due to me taking a risk on myself, others have believed in me. And I thank you. I thank you for allowing me to share my story from blogger, to mommy, to entrepreneur, to social advocate, to faith walker and the list goes on. Thank you for choosing me to speak with your audience. From my own backyard, to cities I never expected traveling to, I’ve been able to share my mission when it didn’t seem like much to me. I say this to share the advice my therapist gave me today: Own your wins, and sit in them for a minute. She said, “Winnie you have a tendency to gloss over AMAZING strides you’ve made. Sit in it. Celebrate it.” And that I plan to do. Will you?

No filters, just a lil highlight and black girl magic! ✨ #nappilyeverafter #netflix #stl

It’s time to #levelup 🛫✈️❤️

Closing out 2018 with bigger and greater intentions. 🖤🙌🏽

Toronto, you were good to me. I’m honestly not ready to go back home but I’ve gotten clarity on work that needs to be done. But while I was here, it felt like home. Amazing friends and new friends. Amazing food. Some black girl magic. And right as I took this healthy snack pic, we got informed that the store was actually closed. 🙃🤭😂 our bad. But I had fun. Glad I got out this evening. ❤️

Yesterday I was on a panel talking about being a mom and a boss. This morning I struggled to get up because I questioned ALOT about myself and was allowing the enemy to make me feel less than. . . . One thing I didn’t get to mention yesterday to the moms was allow your kids to see the human side of you. All super heroes cry but feel like it’s weak to show their tears. Sidney’s seen me cry numerous times, from mourning a loved one to experiencing the effects of a disconnection notice. . . . Allowing my son to see me in a vulnerable state, allowed him to borrow my cape, and say “Mama it’s gonna be okay.” And he’s lit the fire underneath me every time. And I know he’s back home rooting for my greatness because I allowed him to see that, sometimes you gotta go through some sh*t before being able to truly appreciate what’s already yours. 🖤

Last night in Toronto. Be good to me. 🖤

🗣Facts on facts! And I wouldn’t change a thing. 🖤
