Not gonna lie, y'all. Today was a hard grief day... and for no particular reason.

Grief comes in waves and I just have to ride it out.

Allowing the space for days like this brings opportunities for stillness and healing.

I miss my son so much that it physically hurts. Allowing myself to feel the hurt let's the energy flow. The only way out is through.

Dance helps with the process. Dance brings joy. Joshie and I used to dance and sing all of the time. When I dance, I think about him being right there and it makes me smile. 💙🦋💜

Today, I was on Midday Maryland with my friend Alisha Adibe, owner of Ouleum Restaurant to discuss Maryland Vegan Eats Vegan Restaurant Week!

It starts on this Friday, March 6th and runs until Sunday, March 15th.

Meet me on Thursday evening at BarV for the kickoff party!

If you have been to Oleum before, what's your favorite dish? See comments for my answer!

Celebrate Vegan Restaurant Week with Oleum! Tucked away in Baltimore’s historic Fells Point, Oleum is turning heads with its fully vegan approach to dining.

In honor of H.E.R., I release what no longer serves us.

Not every pattern deserves to be passed down.

Some of what we inherited was survival.
Some of it was silence.
Some of it was self-sacrifice disguised as strength.

I honor the women before me.

And I rise by choosing differently.

I release what harms.
I question what no longer aligns.
I build healthier foundations for the generations coming after me.

Being rooted does not mean repeating everything.
Rising means evolving with intention.

What are you ready to release so something better can grow?

25 Days Until We Gather.

In honor of H.E.R., I build what I once needed.

Every generation carries something forward.

Strength.
Faith.
Endurance.
Hope.

I honor what was given to me even when it wasn’t perfect.

And I rise by tending to what needed more space.

More room for honesty.
More room for rest.
More room for softness.
More room for voice.

I become part of the unfolding story.
Not better. Not above. Just continuing.

Being rooted means receiving what came before me.
Rising means nurturing what comes next.

What kind of space are you helping create for the generation after you?

24 Days Until We Gather.

Sharing this feels like a deep breath.

This will be my first major event since Joshie transitioned. Returning to this space of gathering and leading feels tender and a little unfamiliar. Grief reshapes you. It strips things down to what truly matters.

The pillars of HER were not created in comfort. They were born through heartbreak. Through long nights. Through choosing not to collapse. Through learning how to carry love and loss at the same time.

Honoring Our Roots.
Embodying Our Truth.
Rising With Intention.

These words mean something different to me now.

I am grateful that I am not walking into this alone. My cousin Sarah is co-creating this with me. She lost her mother last year. We understand each other in a way that does not need many words. Together, we are choosing to create space for healing instead of retreating from it.

This gathering honors the generations of women in our family who built foundations we are still standing on. It honors those who are here and those who live on in memory. And it is for the men too. We heal in community. Always.

Doing this during Women’s History Month feels aligned. It feels intentional. It feels necessary.

Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is move forward with intention, even while carrying love and loss at the same time. 💜

In honor of H.E.R., I honor my limits.

The women before me carried more than they should have.
They endured silently.
They pushed through exhaustion.
They made it work no matter the cost.

I honor their strength.

And I rise by choosing sustainability.

I do not glorify burnout.
I do not measure my worth by how much I can carry.
I do not confuse exhaustion with excellence.

Being rooted means knowing when to pause.
Rising means choosing longevity over pressure.

What shifts when you give yourself permission to stop?

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing reflections rooted in legacy and rising in purpose.

This series is called "In Honor of HER."

May each post remind us who we come from and who we are becoming.

I just got back from a few days in Miami with my sister , and honestly, it turned out to be the getaway we didn’t even know we needed. For a little while, life felt light again. We danced, walked the beach, slept in without guilt, and enjoyed good food and easy laughter. Nothing fancy, just time together...carefree, playful, and present.

Sometimes healing looks like sunshine, sisterhood, and letting yourself feel alive again. I’m grateful we said yes to the trip. 🌴✨

The women before me learned how to survive in rooms that were not built for them.

They adapted. They endured. They made space where none existed.

I honor their resilience.

And I rise by standing fully in mine.

I do not minimize my voice to make others comfortable.
I do not dim my light to avoid attention.
I do not shrink to fit rooms I was meant to expand.

Being rooted means knowing who I am.

Rising means living like it.

What becomes possible when you fully own your presence?

Over the next 29 days, I’ll be sharing reflections rooted in legacy and rising in purpose.

The women before me were often praised for endurance, not ease. For sacrifice, not softness. For pushing through, not pausing.

I honor their strength.
And I refuse to inherit their exhaustion.

Rest is not laziness.
It is restoration.
It is nervous system repair.
It is choosing sustainability over survival mode.

Rising does not require burnout.

In honoring H.E.R., I create space for what many of them were never given...stillness, breath, & permission to stop.

Where do you need to choose restoration over proving yourself?

As we prepare for the Honoring HER Luncheon, I’m sharing 29 days of reflection called In Honor of H.E.R.

These posts are for the women who shaped us, walk beside us, and live within us.

Rooted. And rising.

There is strength in your bloodline; even if no one talked about it.

Being rooted means acknowledging the endurance that lives in you.

Rising means choosing to move forward with intention because of it.

What did the women before you survive that you now get to heal?

The 3-Week HER Series is officially SOLD OUT in less than 24 hours!

Twelve women said yes. Yes to showing up. Yes to doing the work. Yes to honoring themselves in community. And I don’t take that lightly.

This one feels especially tender for me. It’s my first series back in this way, and to see it fill so quickly?

Whew. Grateful doesn’t even cover it.

To every woman who registered: thank you for trusting me. Thank you for trusting us. We are about to honor our roots, embody our truth, and rise with intention...together.

If you missed this round, stay close. There will be more. HER is not a moment. It’s a movement. 💜

Just 12 days after my Joshie passed away and 2 days after he was laid to rest, my niece Jordan went on to join him. He made a way for her, and for that, I'm grateful. Today's the day of her viewing. Her funeral will be on Friday. Vaughn Greene Funeral Home on York Rd. has been amazing to us. Of course, we are also grateful for all of the family and friends who have shown up to support and help us through this trying time. This whole thing is just so surreal... life is precious. Don't take your life or anyone else's for granted. You might not have a tomorrow to talk to loved ones that you are pushing away. Be good to one another. Lead with love. 💜🦋💙👑🌟🕊🙏🏽🌍 Just show up.
