i used to hate being labeled "bougie" because it came with a negative connotation. seriously, because i like nice things? but fuck it. ⁣⁣if being bougie means:⁣⁣⁣⁠

i'm really tired of black + brown women having to explain (to all races) why they have nice things, so let me get this shit off my chest. ⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
we are allowed to have nice things not just because we work hard for them or because we can afford them. we can have nice things 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻. that's it. no other explanation needed. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

⁣⁣⁣⁠
thanks to my aunty sade ("the original diva"), i learned to explore bolder colors with make-up towards the end of high-school. it was mainly eyeshadows, but trust, your girl was poppin`. i moved on to lipsticks when @valerieyomama forced me to put on mac's ruby woo, and it's been a wrap ever since.⁣⁣⁣⁠

🍃 rest and relaxation sure do the mind, body, + soul good. i have quite a hard time turning off, but it was needed and i feel so refreshed. not only that, i realized my usual acts of self-care and self-love just weren't cutting it, so i've been exploring alternatives and relearning to love all things Yetti.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🍃 every month that goes by, 2020 shows us her ass didn't come to play. but with each and every month that passes, we show her that we're still standing and we can bear the bullshit. i think that's something to be proud of. (𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘢!)⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🍃 i've been dialing it up on the connections that matter the most and reconnecting with folks from my past. it's so important to be intentional about where we direct our focus and energy. don't waste it!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🍃 i am in good health, thank sweet baby jesus. for the love of god, wear your motherfucking mask.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🍃 so happy to see that my timeline is NOT back to "normal" and so many of us are still utilizing our voices to demand justice and equality. i love us forreal.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
what's got you happy and grateful?⁣⁠

⁣⁠
please do not take my current silence as forgetting what is happening in our world today. the fight continues for all of us, but what has become more than apparent to me in my line of work is that immense self-care and boundaries are needed. self-care because you can not serve others without serving yourself first. boundaries because they're needed to guard your peace. protect its magic.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
i'm currently implementing both right now but wanted to leave you with a few tidbits:⁣⁠
⁣⁠
- you don't need me or anyone else to remind you to care about and value black lives. if you are solely relying on influencers to spoon-feed you your next steps, you're doing this all fucking wrong.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
- turn off the news and turn up the volume on yourself. what do you need? how can you show up for yourself right now? what do you require for joy?⁣⁠
⁣⁠
- a good amount of you have found my personal ig page. it is a private account for my loved ones. please do not request it.

- if you need me, email me 💕⁠
