I've probably said this a thousand times, I'M BACK! In reality I haven't been anywhere. I've actually been stuck in my head that's filled with uncertainty, doubt and just a dash of jealously. Let me be real, A LOT OF JEALOUSLY.

Everyone has these feelings and don't let anyone tell you it's not okay. Having these feelings for me is a sense of growth, it allows me to look at things differently and overcome the obstacle of fear. Some days I feel like this journey of empowering others is a waste of time. Yet, I have to remind myself the reason why I started in the beginning.

Yes, you will get sidetracked.

Yes, your message will get misunderstood no matter how clear you are about it.

Yes, you will feel like giving up.

Yes, you will get jealous of others who YOU think are doing it better!

Yes, you will make mistakes, how you recover is KEY!

Yes, you will have sleepless nights.

Yes, you will feel overwhelmed but It's all going to be OKAY!

It's okay to feel this way. I haven't met a single person who hasn't experience these feelings. I'm sure Oprah, Issa Rae and Ava Duvernay all had feelings of fear and self doubt but they continue on to become successful in their craft in a world where people feel black women are less than.

If you ever find yourself feeling uncertain about things It's OKAY, you'll get back on track in no time.
