After months of storms, both literal and personal, our family has found a new beginning in North Carolina. Choosing love, peace, and community over material things, I stepped into a fresh chapter as my daughters’ primary parent. Sofia’s rainbow-themed birthday was more than a party—it was a symbol of resilience, faith, and the promise of brighter days ahead. Sometimes the greatest freedom comes from letting go and choosing what truly matters.

The 4th of July is more than fireworks and barbecues—it’s a chance to reflect on what freedom truly means. For many, especially Black women and marginalized communities, liberation is still a journey: the freedom to rest, to heal, to protect our peace, and to live unapologetically. This holiday is a reminder to honor how far we’ve come, while holding space for the freedom we’re still creating.

Father’s Day can stir many emotions—love, gratitude, grief, or longing. This year, we honor not only fathers but also those who had to step into that role for themselves. Self-fathering is the courageous act of becoming your own protector, guide, and source of stability when life didn’t provide one. It’s choosing to show up for yourself with structure, compassion, and strength. If you’ve had to be your own safe place, this day is for you too.

The start of a new school year can feel exciting—and overwhelming. From rushed mornings to busy evenings, routines make all the difference. Simple, sustainable habits like prepping the night before, creating after-school rituals, and building calming bedtime flows can help your family move through the day with more ease, balance, and connection. This season isn’t just about getting kids ready for school—it’s about creating rhythms that support peace, confidence, and meaningful memories.

For years, I paid to hold onto things I thought I’d need someday—furniture, décor, gifts. But when I finally opened my storage units, I realized those items had lost their value—not just financially, but emotionally and spiritually. The real cost wasn’t just the monthly fee, but the weight of clinging to the past. Letting go—selling, donating, clearing space—has felt like freedom. This spring, I’m reminded that releasing what no longer serves us creates room for peace, growth, and miracles ahead.

Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of every family: mothers. At B. Well, we honor the love, resilience, and grace that mothers bring into the world each day. This Mother’s Day, I’m proud to share a special moment from my family—four generations of powerful women whose strength and love continue to shape our legacy. May you feel seen, valued, and deeply loved today. Happy Mother’s Day from our family to yours!

This Easter, my family and I embraced the love, laughter, and renewal that this season brings. Beyond the celebrations, Easter reminds us of a deeper truth: no matter what tried to bury you, you can rise again. With faith, grace, and divine timing, resurrection is always possible. Your joy, your peace, your comeback—they’re all still within reach. Wishing you renewal, hope, and all the soft power this season offers. Let’s rise, together.

Hey B. Well Family, I’m excited to share that I’m featured in the Spring 2025 issue of Connect Magazine, a beautiful space created by YANASISTERS to uplift and empower women. In my piece, "Just Let Go," I reflect on what rest means to me as a Black woman, mother, and wellness practitioner. This season is about release, growth, and choosing myself with intention. I hope my story reminds you that it’s okay to let go—and to say yes to your own healing journey.
