Self love and wellness go hand in hand...

I wanted to tell my story of tragedy to triumph and when I finished my first book, Dealing with the Hand I Was Dealt, alot of people began to come to me to ask me for help writing their stories.

What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I wanted to tell my story of tragedy to triumph and when I finished my first book, Dealing with the Hand I Was Dealt, alot of people began to come to me to ask me for help writing their stories.

How do you create the life you want?: First and foremost I pray and ask God to show me the direction he wants me to go in. Once I believe I have a clear vision I begin to outline the process and then go after it. I remove fear, negativity, and doubt. I continue to grow and expand who I am and because of that doors continue to open.

What makes you HUMAN?:

What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Self love and wellness go hand in hand. If I wouldn't poison my neighbor then I shouldn't do it to myself. Self love is an internal job. It requires self reflection as well as accountability. Wellness is a full circle. It has to be a balance of healthy mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, and financial practices that help us become better people.

What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Create boundaries. A lot of mental anguish and unhealthy habits, including the people we are in relationships with is a result of a lack of boundaries.

I’m continuously motivated by my journey to #KeepGoing

I was inspired to start Black Wholeness Collective due to my life falling apart. After reaching the top of my own success I realized I’d gotten there standing on fear, trauma, and my fragile mental health

What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I was inspired to start Black Wholeness Collective due to my life falling apart. After reaching the top of my own success I realized I’d gotten there standing on fear, trauma, and my fragile mental health.

 

I’m continuously motivated by my journey to #KeepGoing, no matter how dark or dismal things appear. I’ve seen my share of bad days and know that I remain the strongest person I know.

 

Black Wholeness Collective reflects the same tenacious attitude and spirit for other African Descendants to seek healing for themselves; Mind, Body and Spirit.

How do you create the life you want?: My envision of what I want my life to be changes with the wind; I’m learning how to take my life one day and step at a time. I get to choose daily who and what I want to be; by doing things that make me happy without having to think too hard or too far into the future.

 

Short answer: sis, idk often and I’m becoming more ok with that answer, daily.

What makes you HUMAN?: Allowing myself the grace and mercy to make mistakes, heal, and be a full range of emotions while doing it.

 

I am human. I don’t have to prove that by any other means.

What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. My self-love is mine; the world didn’t give it to me and it can’t take it away.

 

2. No one has any of your answers; only their own lessons.

 

3. Life is not a group project; you’ll have to live it and do your own work.

 

Extra: self-care goes beyond external things; it’s more about what you can replenish and internally do you fill in your own gaps.. think of it as your own way of internally hugging you.

What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Place a focus on healing; If you’ve suffered from childhood, adolescent and or adult trauma know those foundations won’t rebuild themselves...beloved..

What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I strive to educate, empower and guide communities to be their best through; Performing Arts, Wellness and Consulting.  I want to get pertinent information in the hands of people so they can make better, more informed decisions, know better, do better and be better.

How do you create the life you want?: It is a daily struggle to create the life I want. Everyday I have to remind myself that I have to "participate relentlessly in the manifestation of my own destiny."

What makes you HUMAN?: I have debilitating anxiety like most people do. My empathy triggers my anxiety. And then my anxiety debilitates my ability to be productive in life. So numerous "reality checkins" are a necessary part of my day. They consist of taking 10 conscious breathes, followed by asking myself if my emotions/feelings are triggered by; thoughts of the unchangeable past, worry about uncontrollable future, or a situation in the presence moment, and proceeding from there.

What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. The simple act of hydrating and properly nourishing your body does more for your body than any meditation, mindful or fitness class.

2. Self Love/Wellness looks different every day. Don't get hung up on what you did yesterday but didn't do today. Each act of self love, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction

3. Self Love/ Wellness can alleviate stress and the negative affects it has on our health.

What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Start your morning with 5 conscious breaths and set your intentions before you even leave your bed. Every morning meditate on the person you want to be. Imagine what a day in that life would look like, feel like, etc. See it clearly, and do it daily. It will change the momentum of your life.
