Dearest Gentle Reader…

Not evennnnnn gonna lie it’s giving diamond of the season & I’m still finding the words.

I feel a lot of things — nervous, excited, thrilled, hopeful, shocked, shy, terrified & OVERWHELMED for more reasons than one but let’s debrief a bit because 🥹😅😭

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY GOD… actually heard little ole me & that I am sitting in answered prayers know & unknown.

Being called out, sought after, hand selected, prayed for, seen & supported in for projects, events, friendships, trips, dates, opportunities & so much more feels like the most intentional love letter to the girl who simply dared to take a chance. shes not perfect but she’s evolving beautifully, willing and ready.

This community of wonderful humans that are and have been rooting for me on & off line.. idk what I did for God to send yall my way but THANK YOU!

Y’all… I have to say it, when did I get this cute… well fine?! Idk what’s in between cutie patootie and BADDIE but I’m HER 🤭

I really don’t know what to do with my self right now other than dream bigger because I’ve CLEARLY been dreaming too small… Sorry Lord... Get ready for this weeks journal entry, it’s coming with some thank you tears 🥹😭

Xoxo - Lady Shaymah Ali✨

Always a pleasure working with the Kensington Grey Agency team — thank you all for trusting me to capture these moments for the second year in a row. Grateful for the experience, the energy, and the opportunity to photograph such an amazing weekend. Looking forward to next year!

Thank you @target for the chance to come in community with my peers and meet so many other beautiful women that I have admired from afar.

This brunch filled my cup in many ways and was the JOY I needed.

Essence Fest didn’t turn out how I wanted it to……..

GOD really did his big one! It exceeded whatever expectations I may have had. 🎯

When you are called to lead, adversity always shows up but NEVER wins. You are also nothing without a team who supports you through it all. With so much newness around, my team came in, held hands and got it done. I’m so proud to have you all on this ride with me!

We rallied together and created something memorable….I’m going to say this was our best year yet!(the numbers show this too) Year 5 was one for the books!

I don’t have many words because I’m filled with crazy gratitude. Thankful for all of our beautiful founders, creators, celebrity makeup artists& hair stylists, moguls and most of all our guests for riding with us in spite of. Know that we see you. I SEE YOU and I’m beyond grateful for you!

As I journey to the next project, I leave you with this,
Please don’t underestimate me again. ♥️ #Godsfavorite

In the word of HOV……on to the next one.

Regal by nature, powerful by choice. The girls did not come to play.
