He said I look better when I soften my edges.

I said maybe that’s what real femininity is: not losing power, but learning to rest in it.

So… can a man really coach a woman through style? Or are we just learning each other’s language? 👀

What she said……..

#creating #conversations #wedont #have #hearsay

They don’t just fly in for braids… they fly in for how they feel when they leave.

French Curl Knotless Braids using @chisluxebraidinghair soft, flowing, camera-ready, and built for women who are showing up in rooms that require more than just beauty… they require presence.

This client travels from Seattle to sit in my chair. Not just for the look, but for the experience. A trauma-informed, intentional space where beauty is handled with care, respect, and precision.

Because in today’s beauty industry especially in film, media, and high-visibility spaces it’s not just about being styled… it’s about being seen, supported, and safe.

I don’t just do hair.
I prepare women to show up fully on camera, in rooms, and in life.

This is what it looks like when beauty meets healing.
This is what it looks like when you invest in yourself at the highest level.

Wanna Be Made Whole™ 🤍

I once identified as the FAT girl. It bruised me and made me hide. Today I am no longer physically overweight but I still carry some of the shame. I’m still shedding the weight!

Being a Sephora Beauty Scholar didn’t just elevate my artistry…

it reconnected me to the eternal gift that saved my life. 💛

From foster care → to beauty → to purpose.
This wasn’t just a scholarship.
It was a homecoming to who I’ve always been.

Thank you @sephora for believing in storytellers, healers, creators, and community leaders. @sephorapro

This is only the beginning.
Follow the journey. ✨

Life update ✨ @sephoralife @sephorapro @sephora

I finally unboxed my Sephora Beauty Scholar kit… and I’m still emotional about it.

This wasn’t just a box.
It was a reminder that dreams really do come true especially when you come from places where opportunity wasn’t handed to you. @sephoralife

But the part that moved me the most?

The team behind it.

Every person who poured into us from the facilitators, to the trainers, to the creators behind the scenes, to the store teams who welcomed us with open arms.

Their support, their patience, their encouragement… that’s what made this experience feel like family.

Thank you to everyone at Sephora who believes in storytellers, healers, and leaders like me.

This is the part of my journey I prayed for 🏆

The shocking truth about wanting to be somewhere you’re not…

Is that it’s not always about delay.
It’s about development.

You keep asking,
“Why am I not there yet?”
But the real question is:
“Can I carry what I’m asking for?”

Can you hold the responsibility?
The pressure?
The consistency?
The favor?

Because wanting more isn’t wrong.
But getting more before you’re ready will break what you prayed for.

You’re not being overlooked.
You’re being prepared.

So before you spiral into comparison or shame, pause and ask:
Am I becoming the version of me that can sustain what I’m asking for?

Because wisdom > rush.
And process > pressure.

And when it’s time?
It won’t just come it’ll stay!

It’s okay to start over. It’s okay to reshape yourself. It’s okay to blossom into sitting else. So evolve!

✨ “Luxury doesn’t sleep in. At 6AM, while the city still dreams, my client is already being crowned. 🌅✨

This time is not for everyone it’s for the woman who values her peace, her privacy, and her power. The early morning chair is where executives, innovators, and visionaries prepare to conquer the day.

Addiction doesn’t always look like a needle in the arm.
It doesn’t always smell like liquor or come in pill bottles.
Sometimes… addiction looks like the need to be chosen.

What about the ones addicted to attention?
To validation?
To being needed so they can feel worthy?

What about the ones who chase chaotic love because calm feels foreign?
Who stay in toxic dynamics because peace feels too quiet?
That’s addiction, too.

Addiction is the thing you run to…
to escape the pain you don’t want to sit with.
And not everyone is numbing with drugs.
Some of us numb with bodies.
With drama.
With performance.
With overworking.
With being liked.
With being wanted even if it’s just for a moment.

So before you judge the person spiraling on the corner,
Ask yourself: what do you use to avoid your emptiness?
Because sometimes, the cleanest people carry the deepest wounds.

Addiction wears many faces.

And recovery starts with honesty not just sobriety. 💜🔥

Let’s normalize the “one and done” service.

Not every client is meant to be a repeat.
And guess what?
That’s okay.

As a service provider, you’re allowed to say:

“This isn’t a fit and I’m not forcing it.”

Some clients you pour into once… and never again.
Not because you’re rude.
Not because you don’t care.
But because you already know they’ll never be satisfied no matter how hard you work.

That’s not your failure.
That’s their unmet expectations, poor communication, or misaligned energy.

So here’s your permission slip, in case you needed it:

You’re allowed to protect your gift.
You’re allowed to protect your peace.
You’re allowed to say no thank you respectfully and professionally.

The goal isn’t to please everyone.
It’s to serve aligned clients with excellence.

So if you’ve ever had to deliver your best and walk away?
That’s not rejection. That’s refinement.

With love but Goodbye ✌🏾😘

I gave the best parts of me.
The softest parts.
The loyal parts.
The parts I didn’t even know I had left.

And still…
It wasn’t enough.
Still, I was misunderstood.
Still, I was left holding silence instead of reciprocity.

I shared my story.
I shared my heart.
I shared my truth.
And instead of love, I was met with distance.
Dismissal.
Discomfort.

So yeah, I asked myself—what was the point of sharing?
Maybe the lesson wasn’t about them at all.
Maybe the lesson was about me.
About learning to love without losing myself.
About giving without abandoning me.
About finally choosing to see my own value, even if they don’t.

Over-loving didn’t make me weak.
Being rejected didn’t make me unworthy.
It made me wiser.
It made me clear.
It made me ready to stop performing for love that can’t hold me.

Lesson learned.
But I’m still love.
Always was.

I’m not avoiding you… I’m protecting me.

There’s a difference between silence out of fear and silence out of wisdom.
I’ve learned that not every violation needs my reaction but every violation teaches me how to guard my peace.

Access is actually stewardship. And I’m stewarding my mind, my spirit, and my crown.

“God told me to leave what was safe to build what was sacred.”

I walked away from a full book of clients, a steady income, and a location that felt familiar—because deep down, I knew God was calling me to more. I didn’t have a storefront yet. I didn’t have a team. All I had was the word: Go.

There were nights I cried. Days I questioned if I heard Him right. But every time I took a step, provision met me.
A stranger sowed into my business.
A client paid double.
A local organization offered me a partnership I didn’t even ask for.

That’s when I knew—faith isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about trusting that He already has.

Faith in action looked like booking that venue with no guest list.
Launching that course with no email list.
Starting over again when the last season almost broke me.

But He never failed me. Not once.

Drop a “He did it for me too” if you’ve seen God move in your business.

Grateful for @nolabrantleyspeaks and the way she continues to show up for survivors in this industry.

The way she tells our stories not for shock, not for headlines but to bring light to what has been hidden… that matters.

Thank you for holding space at the The California Endowment in Los Angeles. Truly, health happens here.

The grounding exercise was more than a moment it was regulation.
It was balance for my nervous system.
It was permission to pause.

I heard my inner child clearly.
I was able to tell her:
You are safe now.
You can stop hiding.
I’ll take it from here.

I cried.
I smiled.
I softened.

And I left stronger.

I am now trained with even deeper awareness of the fight and even more courage to continue the mission.

Humbly honored to carry this work forward.
For the girls who are still hiding.
For the survivors who are still finding their voice.
For the systems that must change.

We keep going.

Braiding is more than beauty.

It’s geometry.
It’s structure.
It’s ancestral intelligence.

Triangle parts in knotless braids create balance, strength, and flow just like the triangle represents alignment in humans:

Mind
Body
Spirit

This is why braiding has always been deeper than style.

It’s design, healing, and culture woven together.

Welcome to Braiding Science.

Healing isn’t loud.
Sometimes it looks like eating breakfast every morning.
Sometimes it looks like hot chocolate and a quiet table.

I’m learning how to balance my nervous system while being whole not rushing, not performing, not surviving… just regulating.

Small rituals. Warm mugs. Steady mornings.

Thank you @ihop for being affordable, inviting, and a soft place to land lately. 🤎

Wholeness isn’t a destination. It’s a daily practice.

@joinbraidhouse and @dopeaxxpana curated a live podcast experience that was intentional, interactive, and impactful. We didn’t just sit and listen we engaged. We asked real questions. We received real answers. That exchange matters. @dearmodernstylist

There’s something powerful about spaces where information isn’t gatekept and creativity is honored.

Major appreciation to @patternbeauty for sponsoring and gifting products from their line. When brands invest in community-centered experiences, it makes a difference.

This is what building in real time looks like.

Community.
Culture.
Conversation.
Growth.
