I was planning to post this earlier, but I decided to wait. With New Years behind us, the surge of what I call “New Year's Hype” has quieted down. I refer to it as hype as there’s this undeniable energy we all get at the prospect of starting a new year and working towards a … Continue reading Resolutions and Goals

Revisiting The Importance Of Self Care
Earlier this week I saw a tweet that took me a bit off guard. One of the artists I follow tweeted about how men shouldn’t have to meet expectations everyone expects of them to have value.
