You are not tired because you are weak. You are tired because you have been strong for too long.

If you are the one who holds it together at work, at home, in your friendships, and in your church, hear this: you are allowed to be held too.

On Wednesday, October 21 at 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET, I am hosting a free 60 minute virtual gathering made for you. It is not a webinar. It is not a course. It is a sacred space for Black women to exhale, be seen, and leave with one faithful next step.

Reserve your free seat at the link in my bio. Send this to the woman who has been holding everyone but herself. 🤍

The September Joy Letter is out and this one is different. 🌟

I’m asking you to write a letter. By hand. To yourself.

Seal it. Don’t open it until December 1.

One of the women from our Recess: The Joy Experience did this exact practice back in May. When I sent her letter back to her 90 days later she said:

“This is so good and prophetic and these things have come to pass for me!!!”

That is the power of naming what you believe before you have proof.

The September Joy Letter has everything you need — the full practice, the prompts to get you started, and the exact instructions so you don’t forget where you put it. 🖤

The Eight Intentions. đź“ť

Eight is the number of the month, so this practice gives you eight prompts to set the tone for everything that follows.

Do all eight in one sitting, or come back to one each day this week or throughout the month. Either way, write them down. There is power in what gets named.

Save this post so you don’t lose it. 🖤

August is the 8th month. ✨

In numerology, 8 means balance, new beginnings, and wealth. Not just money — a wealth of peace, presence, and alignment with who you’re becoming.

This year I’m making a choice: instead of letting August arrive with its usual pressure (back to school, calendars filling up before summer even exhales)...I’m choosing ease. Slowness. Intention.

What if you entered August on purpose, treating it like the start of something meaningful you’re creating, rather than just reacting to everything the season throws at you?

POV: the last summer trip before school takes your babies back. 🥹

I savor these moments. They go fast.

That’s the thing about joy. It shows up in soft breezes and boys who are somehow taller than they were in May.

This is what joy looks like in real life. Not a framework. Not a strategy. Just three people walking toward the water, soaking up the last of something before the next thing begins.

What’s your last “before it changes” moment this summer? Tell me below. 👇🏽

The pivot doesn’t always feel like progress. Sometimes it feels like confusion. Like starting over. Like everyone else has it figured out and you’re still trying to find your footing.

What if the pivot is not the problem? What if it’s the process?

This month’s Joy Letter is all about finding joy in the middle of the shift — whether you’re pivoting in your career, your relationships, your identity, or a season of life that arrived before you felt ready.

I put together a four-step Pivot Inventory to help you find the joy that’s hiding inside your pivot. Swipe through and save this one. You’re going to want to come back to it. 🫶🏽

Drop a comment and tell me: what kind of pivot are you in right now? I’m reading every single one.

Go ahead. I’ll wait. 👀

You just thought of her, didn’t you? That one person you’ve been meaning to text. The friendship that never ended — life just got loud and the distance grew without either of you choosing it.

She thought about you more than you know.

This month’s Joy Letter is all about the power of reconnection and the simple practice of reaching back because joy is not always found in new things. Sometimes it’s waiting in the people who already know you at your core.

Did you text her? Drop a đź–¤ in the comments if you did.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
And I want to talk about what mental health looks like for Black women—because it’s different.

Yes, therapy matters. Medication matters. Professional support matters.

But you know what else matters?
    •    Permission to not be the strong one
    •    Spaces where you’re witnessed, not fixed
    •    Rest that doesn’t require justification
    •    Community that holds you when you break
    •    Revelation of what was never yours to carry

Mental health for Black women isn’t just about healing what’s broken. It’s about revealing the capes, masks, and armor. Seeing what’s been invisible. Creating sacred space to name the weight.

That’s Phase 1 of The VOICE Framework: REVEAL.
Because you can’t release what you haven’t first seen.

What’s one thing you’re ready to reveal? Drop it below👇🏾

🤍Join us for Liberation Lives In Your Voice — a free monthly gathering for Black women leaders. Every 3rd Wednesday of the month.

You were not born exhausted.

Somewhere along the way, you were taught to carry more than was ever yours. The journey isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about:

REVEALING what’s been invisible
RELEASING what was never yours
RECLAIMING your identity and power
REIGNING in your full self

From exhausted and silent → to fully, freely, unapologetically YOU.

Where are you on this journey? Drop it below👇🏾

🤍Experience the VOICE Framework live at Liberation Lives In Your Voice — a free monthly gathering.

Every 3rd Wednesday of the month 6pm. Link in bio.

We just wrapped Recess: The Joy Experience—3 days of something radical:

Permission to play. Permission to pause. Permission to experience joy without earning it.

Here’s what I witnessed:

Black women leaders who haven’t laughed like that in months
Shoulders that finally dropped
Walls coming down in real time
Joy—actual, embodied, unapologetic joy

Recess was a reminder: Joy isn’t the reward for finishing the work. Joy IS the work.

This is just the beginning. 🤍

Drop a 🎉 if you want to know when the next one is happening!
