About Me

About Me

After years of failing miserably in relationships, I took a step back to examine my contribution to this trail of ruins.


Let's just say, this thrusted me into quite a stretching yet transformative journey.


My blog gives you a tour of the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs I've encountered, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way. I am both whole and imperfect.


My goal is to inspire others to realistically and fearlessly become their best selves. Happy Reading!

In an interview that felt way more like a conversa In an interview that felt way more like a conversation with a friend than a call with a stranger, I had the opportunity to get to know @mo_z1lla and learn all about how this eligible bachelor/single father navigates raising children, working full-time, and finding love again. ⁣⁣

It’s hard to believe that Fred’s dating life “sucks.” If you’re anything like me, you assumed it would be just the opposite, purely based on him being handsome, successful, and holding down an enviable position in the entertainment industry. ⁣
⁣
But if my interview with Fred did nothing else, it forced me to take a step back from my assumptions and biases. His life is fast paced, and he’s intently involved in every detail of it. ⁣
⁣
Make sure you check out the FULL episode to see how Fred  prioritizes his role as a father, his career, and dating life. ⁣[Link in my bio]

I met @frederickwjr in D.C this past Summer/early I met @frederickwjr in D.C this past Summer/early Fall, which ended up being the same weekend I learned I had NOT had a #HotGirlSummer 😩. This was coincidentally also when I realized that I’m now the old head at parties 😒. ⁣
⁣
Welp, lucky for me I was in good company because Fred and the rest of the crew that weekend are also “OG’s” now 🤣. ⁣
⁣
This interview took place a few months later when I was in L.A 🌴. What I remembered about Fred from the first time we met, was how much he talked about his daughters and the way he built his life around frequently traveling back to the East Coast to ensure he has an active role in their lives. ⁣
⁣
I admire how nonnegotiable this is for him. I think it’s safe to say, he’s being pretty humble in this clip ☺️. ⁣

Ok, @rodneyrikai didn’t say these exact words 🤣 but as I listened to him saying “living in L.A., it’s hard to find women who want to be good women all the time,” I couldn’t help but to think about a story I heard Fabolous tell on @drinkchamps that involved Diddy saying he likes to “party party.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Don’t worry ladies, I’m not buying it. Did you see that gigantic smile on his face when he said that 😩? I’m thinking this may not actually be a legitimate complaint 👀.⁣⁣

Rodney was definitely the more edgier of the bunch, and I soon learned why. He’s from JERSEY 😩! Obviously, there’s standing beef between Philly and Jersey so we had our share of jabs to exchange before getting into his interview 😂. ⁣
⁣
What I enjoyed most about my interview with Rodney was that he didn’t shy away from revealing his humanness, his desire for a mate who he feels is on equal footing emotionally, and being content where he is currently until he meets #Bae. ⁣

At #CAU I was on a mission. I came to campus each At #CAU I was on a mission. I came to campus each day with the explicit purpose of going to my classes which I always scheduled to be back to back, and then I was OUT! By that point in my life, I’d already experienced quite a few things that ROCKED me. I was laser focused on exploring who I was beyond these traumatic events, grinding, and healing. I didn’t kick it with these amazing men in college but little did they know, I peeped their grind (Aunt Ronnie’s always watching 😉). It’s been such a pleasure getting to know them as GROWN men. Same hunger, bigger vision, even bigger hearts. @pksince83 ‘s @lemonpepperwet has been an opportunity for me to show him that I SEE him and that I’m onboard to support him any way that I can. I’m glad @aldinjackson and @themayor404 made this edition ☺️.
