#LiveFabulously
Towards the end of 2016, I made a promise to myself to improve all aspects of my life and to actually commit to doing some self-work. I decided to purchase Myleik Teele’s “This Is Your Year Journal” to streamline areas in my life that needed more attention and goals that I wanted to accomplish for 2017.
For my self-werque series, I’d like to share certain obstacles that I’ve overcame throughout the year and things that I’m currently working through.
Read MoreThe past couple of months leading into Summer 17’ have been a whirlwind for me. Work has gotten more challenging and new leadership/mentorship opportunities have come to the surface. Honestly, I’ve been having a difficult time accepting and leaning into changes at work and in my personal life so I had no choice but to call on my set of mentors. Yes, I said set. I’ve learned early on in my career that it’s imperative to have more than one mentor to call on for advice.

In an effort to make that happen, I’ve been happily saying yes to most networking events that I’ve been invited to. I’m quickly realizing that it’s important for me to put some concentrated effort in cultivating my network to propel my brand forward. As a new lifestyle blogger, it’s critical that I attend events that feature my target audience while simultaneously learning more about blogging, writing, entrepreneurship. This month, I’ve been to four awesome events by and for black millennial creatives.
Read MoreThis year has already been a whirlwind of jet setting and destination hopping for me. I’ve been on five trips in the past two months and have two more planned coming up in the next two weeks.
When I decide it’s time for me to literally get out of town and get some much needed R&R, instead of trying to figure out how I’m going to afford going to a certain place, I let the plethora of flight deals guide my moves.
