Do Right By Your Sacredness
Are you resting… or just resting enough to keep pushing through?
We talk a lot about how rest is resilience. How rest is our right. How rest is resistance. But here’s the more important question: are you actually resting?
There’s a difference between relaxing and resting…
Still Exhausted After Rest?

The Truth I Had to Tell (Even While Shaking)
One of the most dangerous myths we’re taught is that resilience is always a virtue.
And Sistahs, I need you to hear this clearly: sometimes resilience doesn’t protect us.
Sometimes, it keeps us staying too long, quietly adapting to what’s harmful, unsafe, and not okay…
The Era of “Resilience” is Over
I’m no longer interested in resilience that asks us to absorb harm and pretend we’re fine.
If being called ‘strong’ has started to feel like a burden instead of a blessing,this is for you…
I’m Done Performing “I’m Fine”
Instead of hiding the cracks, we honor them. What emerges isn’t what it used to be. It’s something more luminous. A testimony. God right there in every seam.
I hope this video meets you right where you are and reminds you that Reclamation is holy work…
Oprah on Resilience: Here’s What She Got Wrong
Recently, Oprah released an “Art of Resilience” edition of O Magazine — centering resilience as the skill women most need right now.
With respect, I see it differently. We don’t need more resilience. What we need is Reclamation. Let me explain…
Unveiling My Journal — A Sacred Share from Me to You
Today, I am doing something I have never done before: sharing an entry from my personal journal. A private conversation with God.
Yes, this feels uncomfortable (to say the least!), but when God insists, I listen.
Today’s video is a direct message to my fellow Black and Brown women walking in leadership. A reminder: we come from lineages of greatness, stamped in our DNA and etched in our souls.
When “Just One More Thing” Becomes Too Much
She looked at me and said, “Damn it, when is enough enough?”
Tears of anger and sadness slipped down her face.
My good friend had been overextending herself for years, pouring out until she was operating in the negative. We had made a pact — a holy pact — to set boundaries and honor them. And yet, we knew the truth: the moment you start saying no, the pushback comes. Especially from those who have grown used to your constant yes.
And here’s the catch — that pushback rarely comes loud or obvious. It comes cloaked in one little word that looks harmless but is deeply misleading: just.
Risk Being “Unreasonable”
There comes a point when “enough” becomes holy. That’s the heart of Unreasonable Reclamation.
As Black women leaders, our journey is layered, both complex and beautiful. It’s filled with both moments of challenge and profound growth. In my latest video, I explore a theme close to my heart: "Unreasonable Reclamation."
We've been taught to fit into molds that aren't ours, often at the cost of our own wellbeing. It's time to shift that narrative.
It’s Reclamation Season
For so many of us as Black women leaders, resilience has often meant learning to adapt to spaces that were never built with us in mind, often layered with the weight of microaggressions and quiet hostilities. And in doing so, how many times have we folded parts of ourselves into silence just to endure?
I’m coming back after a season of deep grief, sadness, frustration, and feeling unmoored. This is my first video in a long while, and it’s the beginning of what I’m calling my Reclamation Season — a season of taking back my time, my boundaries, my wellness, and my sense of self. Reclaiming what was never truly gone… just pushed to the back or covered over for a while.
