  • (written 2016. link in bio.) Dear Survivor, It’s not just you out there. I mean sometimes it feels that way because our minds are active little fuckers that take the W in prank wars and creative thinking, but trust me on this one, you’re not alone. Actually you’re the opposite because you belong to an army of incredible warriors bonded by the harshest battle anyone can endure: the battle against oneself. You bare scar tissue from the harsh realities our minds put together. You are tribal marked by life, and unintentional but sometimes secretly intentional self-inflicted pain. You nurse wounds caused by neglect, physical or mental abuse, and chemical imbalances that can’t always be explained. You are solid bravery and with that you are not alone. #yettisays #wellnessblogger #mentalhealthblogger #selfloveblogger #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealth #notetoself #selflove #selfcare #survivor
  • back in 2011, i turned my very private blog public. it was called andsoshewrites and it actually began as fitness accountability blog. i had no idea it would soon turn into my corner on the internet that would help me dig into my issues with my self-esteem and mental-health after the weight loss. i had manage to drop 30+ pounds. i achieved my goal of weighing 128lbs, and still, after a year of hard work, weigh-ins, embarrassing progress pictures, i still couldn’t accept the woman i was avoiding in the mirror. • • i began to unravel in my little corner of the internet, and it was happening fast and very much so in the open. and the more i unraveled and explored my battles with self-mutilation, sexual assault, and a move to nyc that finally helped me understand what exact anxiety was, i was met with me toos, supportive comments and messages, and a whole lot of gratitude. that’s when yettisays was born. • • in 2014, i decided to rebrand. andsoshewrites became yettisays and i learned to stand firm with my newly developed voice. i branched out, i networked, and continued to talk about the things other brown people were tiptoeing around. but as the blogging world transformed, so did i, and i can fully admit, i lessoned the amount i shared about my journey, and changed my focus towards how to’s. • • but it’s 2018. and it’s time for another shift. there will be no new name change. but there will be more me. more stories. more fuck ups. more wins. more tough conversations. because us sharing our stories of struggle and survival is what helps us heal. us furthering the mental-health conversations outside of their “designated” days, is when we create a community. when we pull our weight by simply being open about our journeys to our highest and healthiest selves, that’s when we make an everlasting impact. • • i'm going to finish what i started with andsoshewrites. new yettisays.com on the way. will you unravel with me? ps. find you a web-designer that gives a fuck about your brand. christine, you put up with so much lol <3

  • this is what my sunday consists of: getting my life together. i've been sick and out of office for the past couple of days, so doing everything i can to prepare for my return back to work and to (gasp) the creative world. been working on a little something for the past few months, and i can't wait to unveil it along with my new website (thanks @caponecreative). let's just say Q4 is going to be a good one.💚 #yettisays #sundayfunday #productivity #creativelife #blackgirlswhoblog #browngirlbloggers #wellnessblogger #wellness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters
  • i am going to be honest with you, i thought about skipping this year's ode to tola-pop. i haven't really written anything in months, and some of your classmates follow me now on instagram, and the last thing i want to do is embarrass you. i understand you're a cool sophomore in high-school now. but skipping this year's ode didn't really sit well with me. one, because i skipped last year and i still feel very guilty about it. (even though it was because our brother was trying to send me to an early grave.) two, because you are the first thing in months that has inspired me to open up a word document. you're magic, boo. three, because those classmates of yours that follow me? i want them (and the world) to know exactly what i mean when i state you are magic.

  • just a reminder that this life is still in bloom. so let's not forget to water those seeds of love, creativity, and blessings. (also, needed to capture these beauties. i'm on travel for work for the next few days, and by the time i get home they'll probably be dead. ☹️) #yettisays #flowers #greenthumb #greenlife #blackswhoblog #blackmentalhealth #blogger #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #blackgirlswhoblog #selflove #browngirlbloggers #affirmations #therapy #speakbeautiful #encouragement #youcandoit #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
  • (for my ladies who give a fuck about their nails) so let's talk about the struggle of finding the perfect nail shop. i've tried 8 different nail shops since moving last year and right now, i bounce between two. there's the bougie shop close to home, with amazing pedicures and a lady who almost always perfects the coffin shape i like. but their designs and creativity lack, they don't understand that gel needs to be applied in thin layers, and they hate doing long nails. (cue nene leakes - "the ghetto") then there is the shop in the hood. cheaply priced, great work when they're paying attention, but not consistent at all. sometimes you leave with exactly what you want. other times they're trying to convince you that it's your nail or nail bed that is causing your newly paid for refill to look like @theshaderoom's #thisiswhatiaskedfor series. who do you stay loyal to? #yettisays #nails #manimonday #yettisnails #opigelcolor #dndnails #essiegelcouture #nailsofinstagram #nails💅 #nailsonfleek #beauyblogger #blackgirlswhoblog #africanbloggers #lifestyleblogger
