In boiling darkness You Lord, our my channel of comfort Your hands, unafraid, reach down into the sludge of my humanity and I am made new in your arms The promise of your presence peels from heaven You shall hear my voice I am with you and all around you "Peace" by Sharon Irving http://sharonirving.com To hear the full spoken word piece: https://www.musicbed.com/songs/peace-spoken-word/28886 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My only wish for my birthday was to create something that celebrated the strength and resiliency of the Black women throughout the generations. A nod to my ancestors and a celebration of who we are and who we have always been, not only for our people but for humanity and to showcase and highlight our softness and supreme beauty and bring it to the forefront. I have spent a large majority of my 40 years trying to fit into this skin, never realizing that the work has already been done, I just need to walk into it. I am the fruit of their dreams, and so are you. This birthday is a celebration, not only for me but for every “mother” who came before me who didn’t get a chance to realize their dreams and for every “daughter” who comes after me who I get to show the way.

In February, my family partnered with Alaska Airlines to journey parts of the U.S. Civil Rights Trail and it was a trip of a lifetime. We learned and got so much from being on that trip. It was truly such a blessing and I feel so thankful to get to share a peek with you.

This Mother’s Day, my greatest wish is for my kids to have a stable future, and one of the ways I am guaranteeing that is with monthly deposits into EarlyBird. Growing up, no one talked about money and because I was raised in foster care, no one prioritized my future. One of the most important things for me in raising my daughters is to make sure they understand how money works and how to make money work for them. Financial literacy is one of the most important values I hope to instill in them and I love having EarlyBird as another tool to do just that. EarlyBird is made for anyone who loves a child and wants to give them the brightest possible future. Parents, guardians, family, and friends can begin building a foundation of love, confidence, and financial support for a child at the earliest age—just as the experts recommend. EarlyBird is the simplest and most meaningful way to invest in a child’s future. They’re on a mission to help more families become financially literate and build generational wealth through gifts that grow, and as a mother, I cannot imagine a more thoughtful gift than one that is focused on a financially stable future. What makes EarlyBird Unique? Perfect for every celebration. Baby showers, first birthdays, holidays, and every milestone in between. Investing simplified. It only takes a few minutes to get started. Tell EarlyBird about your financial goals and they will handle the rest. Meaningful gifts that grow. Celebrate every moment with gifts that stand the test of time. No more gifts that they’ll grow bored of in two minutes or grow out of in 2 months. Investments grow up with them while precious photo and video memories remind them of the love that built their nest. A modern portfolio. Alongside a custodial investment account (called a UGMA account), EarlyBird is also the first platform to offer crypto wallets for kids. There are three unique ways to use EarlyBird to invest in your child(ren)and other kids you love: Open a custodial account - https://app.getearlybird.io/HXNZ/9a07v0it Open a crypto wallet - https://app.getearlybird.io/HXNZ/6tdnzsa8 Send a gift - https://app.getearlybird.io/HXNZ/tiphqbtf When you invest early, time is on your side. With set-it-and-forget-it investing, you can ride the waves of the market through steady contributions and grow their nest egg using the power of compound interest, and when time is on your side, any amount of an investment is valuable. Financial Literacy + Financial Empowerment = Financial Freedom Click one of the links above to get started. #earlybirdmoms #earlybirdkids #giftearlybird #happymothersday

From Behind The Camera to In Front of the Camera: Posing Tips and Tricks for Photographers & Bloggers

I’m partnering with Define American to highlight stories about maintaining religious harmony in America. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Jaserah, an Indian-American Muslim creator, to talk about the differences and similarities between my Evangelical Christian faith and her Muslim faith, how different faith traditions impact and drive our influence as we show up to these platforms and what misconceptions people might hold. On the eve of #Ramadan and in the middle of #Lent, I so enjoyed learning more about Jaserah’s story, how her faith has held her up, guides her, and much like mine, shapes the way she shows up in the world from day to day. During our conversation, I learned we have WAY more in common than differences and ultimately both of our paths in life are leading us to live peacefully and responsibly, with integrity honoring our platforms and the people who engage with us, and doing our best to live a life that is pleasing to God.
