I won’t show you what I look like today. (That’s besides the point!) But on THIS day of our Lord…She 👏🏾 Was 👏🏾 GATHERED!!! Grateful for the team that pulled me together! I wore my grandmother Joya’s earrings and an my mom’s African braclet as a reminder that I didn’t come this far, just to come this far! After years of focusing on other people’s stories, I’m finally centering my own. Girl…this chapter is just getting started.

(PS…no children were harmed while being served! 🤣🤣🤣)

I’ve told thousands upon thousands of stories. Yet the hardest one to share is my own.

The career advice in business books and articles were ineffective. Either they were telling me as a woman to show up like a man. Or telling me as a Black person to assimilate. Or just ignoring the complicated dynamic of being Black and a woman or having a marginalized identity all together. (Baby if I lean in any further my face will be on the ground!)

Thank goodness for my squad that became an army to help me define my own rules and tell me I wasn’t crazy! That’s what I hope for YOU too! That you can live life on YOUR terms. Join our community at @thenextbestthingact to get the real on how others have walked this path. Trust me, your NEXT is within reach! 

So much more to come! 💛💛💛

(Shout out to Ronnie + East of The River Media!)

For so long I thought I needed more discipline, when what I really needed was to start saying NO!

It starts NOW! 

No I don’t want to.
No I don’t have the time.
No I don’t have the energy.

What does it mean to make space?

Not just physically, but for the things we’ve been carrying without even realizing we’re carrying them. 

In my conversation with @dionnadorsey she talked about clearing space in her creativity, her heart and her mind so she can actually receive what’s coming NEXT.

Sometimes we’re so focused on doing that we don’t stop to make room for what we truly want. Maybe that’s part of the work, too.

“I was paying rent on my past life.”

Whew!! How many of us are doing the same? 👀 Holding on to old versions of ourselves, things we’ve built, and chapters we’ve outgrown while trying to figure out what’s NEXT?

But what if the NEXT chapter doesn’t need to start right away? What if you need to make room for it first? 

Dionna Dorsey and I had one of my favorite conversations about endings, identity, letting go, and giving yourself permission to sit in the in-between.

Dionna is truly REAL one! ❤️

Are you really stuck or are you not considering unconventional options?

Tell young people what it really takes to navigate the real world. How you responded to rejection. What it took to convince people to give you a chance. The responsibility to help others along the way. 

Just because something is hard, doesn’t mean it’s inaccessible. Just because it doesn’t happen in your way or on your timeline doesn’t mean it’s not on the way. 

Maybe this reminder isn’t just for young people. ❤️ by @aundreact

The view NEVER gets old.
I still can’t believe I live here.
I can’t believe I stayed here. 
I owe so much to being here.

You see the life you want while scrolling on your feed.

It feels like so many others have the opportunities. 
The business. 
The freedom. 
The rooms you want to be in.

But do you know what it took to build it?

The years nobody saw. 
The money invested before there was a return. 
The rejection. 
The scrutiny. 
The uncomfortable decisions. 
Did I say the rejection? 

Remember, we may see the result. We rarely see the road that got them there.

That’s the question I’m unpacking in the new episode of The NEXT Best Thing.

Fulfillment is a career strategy! 📚

What a joy celebrating @with.dr.helen and her brand new book Closing the Fulfillment Gap! 

Yes, work CAN work for you. But you have to be able to clearly understand what’s missing. Dr. Helen’s MOVE framework does just that. 

She will be joining The NEXT Best Thing on November 7th for a workshop to unpack so many 💎💎 in this book! 

And yes, those are the 3 books I bought (even though Helen gave me one as a gift) because it’s important to support your friends! 

Congratulations friend! I’m so proud to know you!!
