• Imposter Syndrome

    Sometimes imposter syndrome can sneak up on you. Even though you know your shit!

    I am a part of an amazing cohort of Black Womxn business owners and we got to attend the National Minority Supplier Development Council’s conference in New Orleans. The amount of absolutely powerful and talented Black folxs I met in those 48 hours was mind-blowing.
    So mind-blowing that I started to doubt myself.
    Am I enough to be in their presence?
    My boyfriend set me straight immediately with a phone call, I needed that boost!

  • 3 Boudoir Myths Debunked

    1. Boudoir is centered around the male gaze!
      I would have to say that there are more womxn boudoir photographers than men boudoir photographers. Many photographers see boudoir as a way to empower their clients. Contrary to society, women love to celebrate their bodies too. Yes, some women do a boudoir experience to keep the fire burning in their relationships or for a groom’s gifts. But overall my clients have been in a major  life transition and want to celebrate this new version of themselves. That has nothing to do with men.
    1. Only people with fit bodies should do a boudoir experience.
      This is simply not true at all!  All bodies are welcomed and encouraged to do boudoir experiences. Boudoir like sexy has no damn size! How ever you show up with your beautiful body is exactly what it should be. This is a time to celebrate you as you are.
    1. Only people who have modeled before should do boudoir experiences.
      WHAT, no! That is why you hire professional boudoir photographers. A professional boudoir photographer will understand what poses are flattering for your body. They will also guide you by showing you the poses first and make sure you are comfortable.

  • Cherry Blossom Intimates Collaboration

    There comes a time in your life when you have to pursue your dreams relentlessly. Go after what you want with an unwavering dedication to the most important person in your life, yourself. I thought I had been slacking because I felt like there was no progression happening for me. I felt like I was stagnant and everyone around me was moving at full speed with their business. I was feeling down and not motivated. Then something amazing happened! 

    Let me talk about the power of manifestation and visualization before I tell you a little story.  I was visiting one of my favorite stores, Nordstrom Rack, and I saw a sign in a window. Cherry Blossom Intimates coming soon. The sign stated they were a lingerie store and I got so excited!  I immediately envisioned myself working with the business. I even took a picture and sent it to my sisters.

    Fast forward to the opening day! I went to Cherry Blossom Intimates the first day it opened. I came to the door as they were closing and saw the closed sign and turned away. Jasmine saw me and assured me it was okay and to come in. I was so captivated by the gorgeous space I did not know where to look first! They have a pink moss wall and the lingerie was so decadent and luxurious! I met Dr. Hampton as well and heard the story of why the business is so necessary. I was so elated to see this gorgeous space owned and curated by two Black women that is for us! Not just for us, but the most vulnerable among us.  

    I am now collaborating with Cherry Blossom Intimates! Can you believe it? I used the power of manifesting and persistence to welcome this opportunity into my life. Check out our latest collaboration which is a package that includes curated lingerie, a personal lingerie fitting and boudoir experience! View the full package here.
