You may not be where you want to be, but you’re exactly where you need to be. There’s something about today that’s preparing you for tomorrow but if you don’t pay attention you may miss the lesson. Accepting the season you’re in now makes room for another to follow.

Yes, it would be helpful if you had ‘more’, but sometimes you have to use what you have already to attract what you want. When you start standing in your power, you reach your hand out to grab the reality you want, instead of holding it out waiting to receive.

You wanna show Quinta Brunson some love? Focus on the magnitude of HER historic moment as a Black Woman. Love on her for making space for Sheryl Lee Ralph - a Jamaican actress. Journalists, please don’t ask her about what happened last night on-stage. Work to centre HER story. 🖤 – at Trinidad and Tobago
