✅ EARLY VOTE COMPLETE ✅

Today I cast my vote 🗳️ for our upcoming presidential election. As a woman of color, and mother to two little girls, I want to make sure we have the rights we deserve. Upholding our democracy is more important now than ever.

Not voting is NOT an option. If your state offers early voting, please consider taking advantage of it. It’s too important not to. ❤️🤍💙

🎃 SURPRISE THEM WITH A SMILE 🎃

Halloween is around the corner! I love this cute and easy idea to get the kiddos ready for the holiday. Why not sneak a little smile into their day? Simply take a sharpie and draw a friendly (or silly!) face on a mandarin orange. Add it to their breakfast plate or hide it in their lunchbox for a sneaky surprise. 🧡

✨🩷 TEACHING SELF CONFIDENCE 🩷✨

Yesterday my daughter told me that a friend of hers made a comment about her hair that made her feel sad. I held her and assured her that there is nothing wrong with her hair, and that it is unique, beautiful and special…like she is.

As a person who struggled with self confidence from an early age, I wanted to be sure I used this moment to teach. This was an opportunity to reinforce that being different is ok. That different hair, different skin, different bodies are all ok. In fact, we should celebrate them.

It also gave us the chance to talk about how to handle those tough, negative situations with respect for yourself. I told her to feel empowered to speak up for herself. She likes her hair, so it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

One thing I realized is that it’s never too early to talk to our kids about differences. In this case, my daughters are black with loc’d hair, and have two moms. They will always be different. They will always be unique. And my goal as their mom is to teach them to embrace those special qualities as a superpower. That’s truly something to celebrate. ✨🩷

🍂 HAPPY OCTOBER 🍂

Cheers to the fall!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, as I’ve needed a break to focus on myself. I’ve spent the past few months in therapy, journaling, meditating, reading and listening to empowering podcasts. It’s really filled my cup. ☕️ 🥰

Like a good mama friend, I wanted to share some of the things that are helping me feel my best right now:

✨ Reading a great book. I’m currently reading “The Body is Not an Apology” by and it is soul stirring in the best way. It has caused me to look at how I view myself differently.

✨ Seed cycling. It turns out that there are seeds that when incorporated into your diet can help regulate hormones resulting in better sleep, less PMS symptoms and overall improved health. Sounds crazy but I can attest to how it has benefited me. Check out to learn more.

✨ Scheduling my annual mammogram. I always do this around my birthday so it becomes an annual thing. Just knowing that I have this on the calendar feels good.

✨ Incorporating an early bedtime. I’m in bed by 8:30pm 😂 It may sound lame, but if I’m in bed by 8:30pm, I can make sure I’m asleep by 9:30pm and ensure I get the sleep I need.

What are some other ways you are taking care of yourselves mamas? Please share in the comments below. ✨🩷

* BRB… CRYING *

This morning, I went to wake the girls to get them ready for school…but they were already awake. In fact, they were dressed and downstairs sweeping the floors and setting the table for breakfast.

I ran downstairs to give them hugs and they greeted me with this handmade card. The inside made me choke back tears. I don’t always feel like I’m doing the best job as a mom, but moments like these prove otherwise.

Our littles are always listening, watching and learning. They see us. We need to be better about seeing ourselves. Thank you Noë and Naomi for being the best little teachers. This mama is so grateful for you. 🙏🏾🩷

✨ HOW ITS GOING… ✨

Hey mamas! It’s been a month since I went back to work full time. I feel blessed to have landed my dream job. While it’s been an exciting and liberating experience, it’s also been an adjustment.

What I’ve Learned:
✨ I need to get comfortable with things not being perfect. There may be dishes in the sink and laundry to be done. Dinner may be sandwiches from time to time. I may forget about the special color themed dress up day at school. And you know what? It’s OK.

✨ I miss my family more. I find myself really cherishing my time with my kids and wife more now that my schedule has become busier. Weekends are especially precious.

✨ I need to be my own biggest fan. I almost didn’t apply for this opportunity because I questioned if I could still do it. But with each day that passes, I feel more and more confident in my talent.

✨ Self care has never been more important. I wake up early to exercise, drink lots of water and eat lots of snacks. I have to take care of myself and keep my energy up to be successful.

Overall, it’s going great! This mama is thriving. I miss the online mama community, but I look forward to our next Mama Meet Up where I can see my beautiful CT mamas in person.

✨ SPA DAY EVENT UPDATE - DATE CHANGE ✨

The Mamas 🩷 A Spa Day is being moved to due to spa facility renovations taking place at the venue. Because I want to ensure our mamas get the level of relaxation and pampering they deserve, I have decided to move our event to an alternate date after those renovations are complete.

The new date for the spa day will be Sunday, May 19. Link to purchase tickets available in bio. I look forward to a day of relaxation in a newly beautified space!

✨IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS ✨

Every day, getting out of the door is a struggle. I don’t quite understand why. It’s the same routine to prep for school every morning, and yet somehow, each day comes and we are frantically trying to get out of the door.

One morning recently, I expressed frustration about this. In my rushing, I forgot something in the house. The girls continued to the car in the garage while I ran back in. When I came back out, I was amazed at what I saw: big sister was trying to help by getting little sister in her car seat. 🥹🥰 They heard my frustration and tried to help.

In that moment I took a deep breath, smiled and said “thank you”. Because like all mamas, I have days that are really tough. But once in a while there are the little moments which serve as reminders that we are doing great.

So if you haven’t heard it in a while mama, YOU are doing great. This work is hard. What you do and say matters in the long run. And despite the morning struggles, you will still get to the end goal. The girls made it to school, and I made an important realization - we are ok. ✨

🍪 GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON 🍪

My daughter joined the Girl Scouts a few months ago, and is going into her first cookie season. Before now, she knew she liked the cookies. But after becoming a Girl Scout herself, she now is beginning to understand fundraising and how her cookie sales can earn rewards for her troop and herself. As a mom, I am excited about this introduction to leadership and entrepreneurship. There’s nothing like seeing a group of little girls getting excited about how they can create something positive. I’m one proud cookie mama. ✨

✊🏾✊🏼 A PUZZLE FOR ALL PEOPLE ✊🏿✊🏽

Today as we honor one of the greatest spiritual and moral leaders of our time, it’s a good opportunity to share Dr. King’s message of freedom and equality for all. I recently found this beautiful puzzle at . It features beautifully animated children of all colors and helps us have the conversation about celebrating diversity with our kids. Best of all, there is a corresponding book and both items were only $3. Hope your kids love this puzzle as much as ours do.

✨ CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR ✨

Happy 2024 Mamas! I’m not big into New Year’s Resolutions, but the planner in me loves this new beginning as another opportunity to set some goals. As mothers, we are always thinking ahead when it comes to our kids…but what about ourselves?

Goal setting is a fabulous tool to keep ourselves accountable for achieving what is most important to us. I’ve shared some of my personal goals for this year, and can’t wait to see what manifests as a result! ✨

What are your goals for the new year?

🇺🇸 EASING ELECTION DAY ANXIETY 🇺🇸 Are you feeling anxious about the election? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Yep! Me too. So here’s some things I’m doing today to help myself feel better and less stressed. ❤️ BOX BREATHING - This simple technique will help you feel more calm. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds… Repeat. 🤍 TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE - Fresh air and moving your body are the perfect combo to decrease anxiousness. 💙 SPEND TIME WITH A GOOD FRIEND - Call, FaceTime or go to lunch with a friend. Positive vibes produce good endorphins. Also, remember that worrying won’t impact the outcome. So let’s pause, remain optimistic and get through this together. 🇺🇸🙏🏾

❤️ LOVE AFFIRMATIONS ❤️ I’m kicking off this week with little love affirmations. I made a few of these cute notes and hid them in my girls’ jackets, lunchbox and backpacks. I can’t wait for them to discover these hearts all day today! A quick and easy way to let them know they are loved. ❤️ . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #momsofcolor #littlelovenotes #cutemomideas

✨THE POWER OF MANIFESTATION ✨ Last night, I met one of the people I am most inspired by @tune2tunde. I don’t know her personally, but I know the way she makes me feel when I hop on my @onepeloton bike - strong, resilient and healthy. And although I wasn’t sure how, I knew that one day I would meet her. I manifested it. It’s so appropriate that the first book for the Mamas That Read book club is one about manifestation - The Alchemist. I am a firm believer in manifesting positive things in my life. I first read The Alchemist 13 years ago when some things were shifting in my life. I learned how the Universe would rise up to meet me and shift to help things happen for me. Everything I have…my marriage, my kids, this mama community, my career…I believe God sent to me by way of the Universe. Today we kick off the month of February with this amazing book. It’s not too late to join us in reading this powerful piece of literature. I look forward to discussing it with all of you mamas. . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #momsofcolor #momsthatmanifest #tunde #yourpurposeisyourpower

🩷 BY YOUR SIDE 💜 Our girls are inseparable. At a recent birthday party, they could be often seen doing things together… like in this moment. When we thought about having a second child, these are the moments we pictured. In church this week, the pastor talked about the importance of finding your person and finding your people. Not only did our girls hear this message, they live it everyday. As a mom, I find comfort in the fact that they will always find community in the people that love them. And that they will always have each other and be by each other’s side. . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #momsofcolor #momlife #siblinglove

🪺🌿🌷HAPPY SPRING 🌷🌿🪺 Spring is finally here! We celebrated spring’s arrival this weekend by hanging Easter eggs on the bushes in front of our home.

✨ Look Good, Feel Good. ✨ I spend most of my days in yoga pants and Peloton t-shirts. So when we had a formal event during my recent family reunion, I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to get all dolled up. Sometimes we need a reminder that we are more than moms. We are also women who are beautiful, radiant and can still turn up the glam. It was a much needed reminder to myself. When was your last look good, feel good moment? . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #motherhood #momlife #mamatribe #supportnewmoms #empowermoms #maternalmentalhealth #mamaselfcare

I’ve been struggling to find words since Roe was overturned. I am mad as hell. Disgusted even. But I look at my girls. These beautiful young women. And I feel hope. So I will continue to fight. For the future they deserve. For the RIGHTS they deserve. Hate may think its won, but we got more fight left in us. 💛💙 . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #motherhood #empowermoms #supportnewmoms #womenempoweringwomen #momlife #mamatribe #blackgirlmagic

It’s never too early to start teaching our little ones about chores and the value of contributing to the home. In our house, we have started giving our girls small tasks. And while they are only 2 and 4 years old, we feel good about empowering them in this way. They are happy to pitch in and help out, they are learning skills they will need as they get older, and they are understanding all the work that it takes to keep our home running. 🏡❤️ What are some small tasks you Mamas have taught your kids to do at home? . . . #matriarchmodernmoms #momtrepreneur #motherhood #teachthemyoung #kidsdoingchores #mamaofgirls #mamatribe #momlife #empowermoms #supportnewmoms
