📍Here for #BlackJoy.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably noticed routinely, I retreat and unplug from social media. I recently ended a 30 day fast with a week of unplugging in which I allowed myself only on my social media for work purposes. It is vital to my mental health to remind myself to be present to the world around me and not always be consumed by what’s going on in the digital space. Especially with all the recent trauma and tragedy we’ve experienced. It is also imperative to remind myself and even you that these are curated moments. That life doesn’t always reflect the ‘perfection’ captured in these moments. That some days I struggle to cultivate my own Black Joy– I’ve spoke a little on this before. I share my journey as a creative in a very authentic way, in hopes to help or inspire the people, especially Black women creators, that choose to follow along my journey. Feel empowered to prioritize self-care, your own Black Joy and not let this work consume you. Share your struggles along with your triumphs. You never know who may be watching and in need of your inspiration.
