Celebrating some of the powerful women in my life

Celebrating some of the powerful women in my life with an appreciation post today. Women are just magical. Powerful. Incredible. We persist despite the road blocks and systems stacked against us from infancy.

Women are redefining what success and happiness is by starting successful businesses, toppling corruption and injustices by speaking up and forming coalitions. We’re rallying and cheering each other on instead of competing against each other and that’s such a beautiful thing.

To all my ladies reading this, let me tell you something: YOU ARE THE SHIT!!

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk!! Leave a ❤️ if you feel me.

Love is Love! On this day 54 years ago, the Suprem

Love is Love! On this day 54 years ago, the Supreme Court finally made interracial marriage legal in the United States. Just 54 years ago y’all and we have Richard and Mildred Loving to thank for that.

I learned about them from the movie adaptation of their story a few years back but for those of you who don’t know…here’s a quick recap from USA Today.

“Police knocked at the door of Mildred and Richard Loving in 1958. Their crime: They had just been married.

The two were arrested and eventually banished from Virginia for violating the Racial Integrity Act of 1924, the foundation of interracial marriage bans in 16 states. Mildred was Black and Native American; Richard was white.

That night led to an almost decade-long legal battle that culminated in 1967 when the Supreme Court declared laws banning interracial marriages to be unconstitutional.

Decades later, Loving Day is celebrated on June 12, the anniversary of the historic Loving v. Virginia decision. But while Loving v. Virginia was a huge legal leap forward, other barriers still continue for interracial relationships. Experts say that interracial relationships, while often used to measure racial progress, give an incomplete picture.

Loving v. Virginia was a landmark case that explicitly named white supremacy as the motivation behind a law.

Laws preventing interracial relationships centered around preserving white racial purity. Removing these restrictions removed a central way society upheld white supremacy.”

We still have a long way to go in ensuring equality and equity for all regardless of race, sex or religion. It’s the people who have the courage to stand up and fight for fairness and equality that gives future generations the chance to live and love freely.

Life lately has been hella hectic with wedding pla

Life lately has been hella hectic with wedding planning and living in the moment with friends. With vaccinations rolling out and outside opening back up again, we’ve been able to host a few friends in the backyard. We also attended our first wedding of 2021, which set the bar very high in terms of food, entertainment and how to celebrate unions in the time of a pandemic.

Sadly, social media has taken a bit of a back burner because I’ve been enjoying fun moment with friends I haven’t seen since last year or 2019 AND we’ve been knee deep in wedding planning prep mode. France opened its borders to Americans yesterday so the wedding is full speed ahead.

We sent out invitations on Monday (woohoo). It was a lot of work assembling the suite and tying ribbons around each one. It took two days but we got it all done.

I’m so excited to celebrate the little moments with friends and family. Swipe through for some fun pics.

How are you feeling about this summer and events? Are you ready to paint the town red or still scared to go out in public? Will you be attending any weddings this summer?
