Being Neutral?

Leave a comment

Okay, let’s have an honest conversation. Many of us choose to remain neutral because it is much easier not to ruffle someone else feathers with our point of view. We sometimes believe that being silent will make an issue go away. However, being quiet does the complete opposite.

Happy New Year!

Exciting times are upon us. Entering a new year brings forth inspiration, motivation, and self-empowerment. Here is our chance to leave the past behind and embrace a fresh start.

The launch and release of my book Coming Of Age: The Easy Guide to Healthy Hair Care for Teens was indeed a life-changing experience.

I know without a doubt that I can do anything I set my mind to do. Continue reading →

Creating A Positive Atmosphere In My Home.

I have been on a quest for creating balance in my life. Lately, I have been so tired.
