Happy Wednesday folks! Because of how amazing the support has been with #blushattheregalsuite, this month, I’m launching a new content creation space. What color do you think it will be?? ⁣
⁣
I’m comping the use of the space to the first two people who guess correctly! You must be following @blushattheregalsuite, have a professional photographer and be able to come to BK to shoot. Let’s play! 🌸🎀💗💕💓

Can I rant with you for a minute...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Zuri started school two weeks ago, and for the first time, in my three years of being at home with her, I am able to pursue more of my career goals. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ve avoided calling myself a stay at home mother. Partly, because I didn’t perfectly fit the title. I am an entrepreneur. I just don’t work as often as I could.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
There are lots of negative ideas around what it means, for black women to choose motherhood over their careers. The narrative is that we should be out grinding and hustling for other people instead of staying at home to take care of our families. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
When black women stay at home, they are seen as unproductive, underachieving and even lazy. While women of other groups are praised and respected for prioritizing their families. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I don’t know if any Mom needs to hear this but here are some things I’ve had to repeat to myself over the years:
⁣⁣⁣
You are talented and more than qualified to have a flourishing career again.
⁣⁣⁣
Careers come and go but your role as a mother is forever.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
These formative years of your child’s life are critical and short. It is a blessing to be able to prioritize her needs. One day, she won’t need you and you will miss the days of being home with her.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Your femininity is a gift. Nurture it and Master it.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You are worthy of being protected and provided for by your husband.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It is okay to let go of being an “independent black woman.” ⁣
⁣
You are not a work mule and no longer have to be completely independent. You have a whole ass husband now.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
When you are ready to prioritize your career again, you will and you will release all mom guilt.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You are a phenomenal mother. Even on days you feel like a wreck.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
There is no one size fits all plan for motherhood. Do what works for you.⁣
⁣
You are not a feminist and that is ok.⁣

Yesterday was a marvelous day at @blushattheregals

Yesterday was a marvelous day at @blushattheregalsuite and a great reminder of what happens when I see my crazy ideas through. Just wait until I roll out my next project. I’ve been sitting on this one for way too long....In the words of @kunbiesq, “Launch That Shit.”

This little girl of mine reminds me of how we are

This little girl of mine reminds me of how we are meant to live each day. She is so happy to be alive. She is the embodiment of joy. Free spirited, fiery, energetic, inquisitive, fearless and determined. She is a bright light that cannot be dimmed. I don’t know how two introverts ended up with such a wild child. She stops and talks to every person that walks by. She laughs uncontrollably at the slightest thing and screams at the top of her lungs at the most inopportune times. Her favorite phrase is, “No, thank you, Mummy,” in a British accent, of course. She’s added so much color and adventure to my life. She guides me. She humbles me. She scares me shitless at times. She fills me up to my brim #journalexcerpts #motherhoodunplugged #tozuriwithlove
