I couldn’t wait to release the extended interview from the beautiful and genuine Essence Atkins. Her interview was absolutely amazing, she was so honest and sincere with her advice and sharing her experience in the entertainment industry, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to include in “Black Actress”. Essence was an actress that I grew up admiring, I was obsessed with her on both “Smart Guy” and “Half and Half” and I’m so glad that she was just as amazing in real life. Thank you, Essence for being apart of “Black Actress” and please enjoy her full length interview below!

(New Video Post) Letting Go of the Negatives with a List #SelfLove
March 8, 2014 by
Happy Self Love Saturday!
When I really started to get serious about my self love journey I created two lists, 1. that was filled with my doubts, fears and insecurities and the other that was filled with my strengths and solutions to all those negatives. When I was complete I ripped up my negative list and kept my positive one and it has truly helped me to let go of all of the negative things that were living inside of me and just focus on the good stuff! I posted the positive list on my wall and I read it as often as a can to remind me of all the good traits I have, to confirm all of the goals that I have and to truly let go of any of the negative thoughts that I had holding me back. I strongly suggest you try this exercise out and see what happens. Happy Self Love Saturday!

(New Video Post) I am Inspired by @ClaudiaIris_ 21, Cancer Survivor
February 25, 2014 by
Near the end of every month I’ll be introducing you guys to people who have inspired me with their own personal triumph, today I want to introduce you to Claudia Iris.
I hadn’t met Claudia in person before doing this interview with her but her story inspired me so much that I had no choice but to reach out and meet her. I used to see her facebook status updates all the time and one day was shocked when I read that she was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer! Throughout her sickness I was amazed and glad to see how incredibly positive, open and honest she was about her cancer and her strong belief that she was going to beat this disease and live the life that she wanted! Well she beat the cancer and now her mentality is stronger than ever. Thank you to Claudia for allowing me to speak with her and to Salon 718 for letting us use the space! Check out the interview I did with her below.

(New Video Post) Self Investment #SelfLoveSaturday
February 15, 2014 by
The most important investment you’ll ever make is in yourself!
I’ve always invested in my career but I had to learn to not only invest in my career but also in myself and my overall health and sanity as a person. Everything is connected and important and investing in my happiness ultimately helps my career because I’m not stressed. Investing in my health helps to keep me focused and happy and investing in my sanity helps to give me a balanced life and make me a happier person. You have to invest in yourself by doing whatever it takes to improve your overall quality of life and sometimes that means taking a course to enhance your education or buying new equipment for your career or even starting a hobby so that you can relieve some stress and have a balanced life. Self investment is the most important investment because it’s self love. Happy Self Love Saturday!
(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “Happy Valentine’s Day” By Andre 3000
February 14, 2014 by
Happy Valentine’s Day guys!
Enjoy this beautiful day of love whether your single or boo’d up, it doesn’t matter because it’s all about love! Go treat your self, enjoy the day and be thankful! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
